In this episode, Siva Avvaru, Managing Director of yWhales Solutions, speaks with Daniel Seidler (DSide) and Ryan Anderson, Co-Founders of Bankless Consulting. They discuss the importance of building a strong community in the Web3 space.
Seidler and Anderson emphasize that building a community is a marathon, not a sprint. They explain that brands must consistently put in effort to keep the community engaged and motivated. They also stress the importance of understanding that the community is for the people, not for the brand. Simply creating a community and expecting people to join is not enough.
One way to build a strong Web3 community is to participate in the Web3 Discovery Spring program. This program provides education and value to non-technical individuals in the Web3 space. The program helps clients develop real and potentially game-changing ideas by guiding them towards a common language and understanding of Web3 projects.
Seidler and Anderson also emphasize the importance of engaging with the Web3 community and collaborating with like-minded individuals to drive innovation in the space. They believe that by working together, the Web3 community can create something truly special.
