College DAO

This might be one of the most exciting undertakings by university blockchain network this year 🤯 We're excited to be a key partner with @opencampus_xyz distributing EDU Chain principal nodes with key blockchain clubs around the world 🧵A thread on how this is game-changing 👇

bold decision and respect the team for going with this path it would have been easy to have gone for the ICO and leave token holders holding the bag. I’m sure many companies have done so (which has let to the reputation our industry has garnered) many of our students at @collegedao_hub have been active users of @tallyxyz as part of governance programs, and we thank you for being a part of their stories too

@sh3k1n4h @Bethany_College @EsportsBethany @standwithcrypto @college_xyz love to see this 🔥

Denver ✈️ West Virginia, blockchain education series lands at @Bethany_College! Mortal Kombat tourney co-hosted with @EsportsBethany. Quick #Web3 talk. #Bitcoin Q&A. West Virginia Blockchain Foundation x @StandWithCrypto bringing tech culture straight to campus. 🔐🍕🎮

@dabit3 almost felt like a dream seeing the collective come to life in person 😭🙏🏻 s/o to the goat @Mustafaxyz9 for reaching out to us @collegedao_hub and making this a reality ily bro

We've spent the past year working directly with students and universities. The mission is to onboard net new builders and young people into crypto. Some highlights: ➝ Hosted the largest student hackathon in crypto history (50+ top universities, $100K+ prizes) ➝ Participation from 70 universities during our summer tour with @ethereumfndn ➝ 1M+ impressions generated from student-created content ➝ 3 direct hires as interns at @eigen_labs ➝ Student conference tour @Stanford @YaleBlockchain, @CUBlockchain, @0xBlockchainSC, @BlockchainUCSB, @hublockchai ➝ Hundreds of students now active in our Telegram community Dozens of these students have since landed jobs at top companies and founded YC backed startups. Plus a lot more. Here's what we've been doing:

@mroliverpt @business @Gemini @chainlink @coinbase @Dorm_DAO @MBC_Conference the future is now

great article by @business about the mass funding going into college blockchain & crypto orgs companies like @Gemini, @chainlink, @coinbase, as well as orgs like @Dorm_DAO, @MBC_Conference, and @collegedao_hub continue to prioritize giving college students the opportunity to do big things students are the future and will continue to help pave the path for the future of finance and privacy! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I think it’s also a general lack of engagement and relationship building with key universities and communities on campus. Pretty much all the infra needed to cultivate talent for an onchain future is here - we’ve been laying the groundwork for the past few years and with things like @MBC_Conference - it’s only growing. We have the blueprint. We have the community. We have the passion. What we don’t have is the level of support from industry players needed to pull this off as best as we possibly can.

Crypto is going through a talent crisis I had a call with one of the top CMOs in the space recently. A lot of their marketing friends (startup and legacy web2 companies) won’t touch crypto roles currently. Even the curiosity from tradfi folks currently feels down, yet the appetite for institutional roles from projects is consistently growing. We also spoke about the reduced inflow of web2 talent into the space, and agreed it’s down drastically compared to previous cycles/years. The effects of this are probably more obvious on the developer side. It’s no secret that we have to improve as an industry when it comes to developer acquisition (~10,000 active devs currently) and retention. While dev tooling has come a long way in recent years, certain friction points such as dev exp and developer activations need some love and attention. On top of all this, there has definitely been an outflow of great talent leaving to AI, healthcare, biotech or other startups. This is not a bear post btw, I remain incredibly bullish long-term. I think this 'talent migration' is more so temporary and likely due to structural reasons than anything else. M&A season is upon us, see Bridge and Privy deals, (i've also heard multiple more big acquisitions are in the works, which we might see materialize before the end of year) and over the next few years, I think we’ll see a healthy consolidation across the landscape. I’m just curious if others are seeing/feeling similar?

Crypto just graduated from “DeFi money-legos” to renting trust like AWS rents servers. Huge congrats @eigen_labs - EigenCloud just made “trust-as-a-service” real. There has never been a more electrifying moment to build in web3 - and as @dabit3 asks: what will you disrupt?
