Why We Need to Build Web3 Differently
A Hyperlocal, People-First Crypto Hackathon
In 2022, CoinDesk and CRADL partnered around a shared belief that the crypto industry must start building use cases for hyperlocal communities. Web3athon 2022 was a multi-blockchain, 2-stage, virtual hackathon that signaled a new culture of product development in crypto that emphasizes collaboration over competition. With 17 sponsors, over $800k in prizes, and over 6,000 registrants, Web3athon was the largest multi-chain hackathon as of 2022.
Crypto Research and Design Lab (CRADL) has partnered with Crypto Council for Innovation to produce new research and analysis on crypto and Web3 uses that are tangibly impacting people and communities’ lives.
With CCI as the premier global alliance advancing crypto innovation and CRADL as the leading ethnographic research institute helping organizations and policymakers understand why people are turning to crypto, the partnership signals an industry-wide commitment to elevating the social impact of crypto.
