We're Rooting for you @ Codebase :)
PLUS: Web3's role in Marketing to Global Security, and tickets to TOKEN2049
Picture this: You, sipping a fancy cocktail in Buenos Aires, with $50K in your pocket and a shot at a cool $1M. Nope, it's not a fever dream from your last all-nighter – it's the Codebase Accelerator program.
As the official Avalanche Accelerator, they are on a mission to turn visionary builders into extraordinary founders. After an incredibly successful first round that saw groundbreaking projects emerge from the student ranks, Codebase is back with even more resources and support for exceptional students in our network.
We've included the application link below—remember, it closes on September 1, and they’re only accepting five candidates.
The competition is fierce, and the application process can be intense, but don’t worry—we’ve got your back. To help founders navigate the application process and ask questions to the team, please us for an exclusive Twitter Space with Michael Martin, Codebase's Director of Developer Relations.
We'll discover how Codebase transforms student innovators' ideas into market-ready products with functional testnets in just months. Martin will share insights on the program structure, and lessons from the first cohort, and offer valuable application tips - it's everything you need to go from 0 to 1, and more ;)
with that being said, let’s get cracking with this week’s issue.
🔗 Web3 Needs Apple’s Magic—Time for a Marketing Makeover
Web3 might be the future, but it sure could use a few lessons from Apple when it comes to marketing. To get everyday users excited about decentralized tech, Web3 projects should focus on user-friendly design, clear messaging, and a sleek experience. Think about how Apple made the iPhone intuitive for everyone; Web3 needs that same touch to turn blockchain tech into something anyone can use. For instance, simplifying crypto wallets and making dApps as easy to navigate as your favorite app could be game-changers.
🔗 Web3 Could Be the Future of Global Security
Web3 isn’t just about shaking up finance—it could also be the next big thing in global security. By reducing single points of failure and boosting transparency, Web3 tech can make global business operations safer and more resilient. Imagine decentralized networks securing sensitive data and infrastructure against cyber threats, making it much harder for bad actors to find a weak spot. Already, companies are exploring how blockchain can secure everything from supply chains to personal data against hacking and fraud.
🔗 Breaking Free from Web2: The New Wave of Consumer Crypto
Crypto isn’t just about copying what Web2 has done—it’s about building something totally new. Moving beyond just imitating existing systems, there’s a push to create truly decentralized, user-controlled crypto experiences. Picture a digital world where you have full control over your data and assets, without any middlemen standing in the way. For example, new projects are developing decentralized social networks that give users ownership of their content and connections, something Web2 platforms could never fully deliver.
