Introduction\n1.1 Overview of W3ET\nWeb3 Education And Talk (W3ET) is a pioneering community-driven platform focused on educating about Web3 technologies. Founded by Michael J Burgess, a tech enthusiast with deep roots in the Web3 space since 2019, W3ET is the nexus of Web3 education through its active presence on Discord, Telegram, and Twitter.\n\n1.2 The Need for Education in the Web3 Space\nRecognizing the challenges newcomers face in the Web3 world, such as scams and lack of foundational knowledge, W3ET aims to onboard the first 10,000 users into this space with robust educational resources, ensuring they leverage decentralized technologies safely and effectively.\n\n1.3 How W3ET Addresses These Needs\nW3ET leverages a variety of platforms for disseminating knowledge. The initiative provides comprehensive learning avenues, from Twitter spaces and news sharing to detailed blog posts covering dapps, blockchains, and smart contracts. The podcast adds a vocal dimension to these efforts, featuring interviews and insights, while YouTube videos offer visual guides. The Discord and Telegram channels serve as interactive forums for community engagement, and the DAO, powered by the $W3ET token, democratically steers the learning topics and project investments.\n\n2. Background and Rationale\n2.1 The Evolution of Web3\nWeb3's journey began with Bitcoin in 2008, evolving into a diverse ecosystem with the advent of Ethereum in 2015. This evolution introduced concepts like smart contracts, dApps, DAOs, DeFi, and GameFi, revolutionizing the digital asset and decentralized application landscapes.\n\n2.2 The Gap in Knowledge and Understanding\nThe complexity of Web3 often leads to misunderstandings and financial losses for uninformed users. The focus on quick profits overshadows the foundational elements of blockchain, decentralization, and the transformative potential of Web3 technologies.\n\n2.3 The Importance of Community-Driven Education\nW3ET adopts a community-centric approach to education, leveraging collective knowledge to fill expertise gaps and maintain decentral\n\nization in learning. This strategy fosters a collaborative learning environment and aligns with the ethos of decentralization in Web3, empowering community members to guide the direction of educational content.\n\n3. W3ET Overview\n3.1 Description of Components\nW3ET encompasses various platforms to cater to diverse learning preferences:\n\nTwitter: Offers public knowledge sharing, interactive spaces, and discussions.\nBlog: Serves as a knowledge base for in-depth exploration of Web3 concepts.\nPodcast and YouTube: Complement the blog with vocal narratives, interviews, and visual guides.\nDiscord/Telegram: Acts as interactive forums for community discussions and knowledge sharing.\nDAO and $W3ET Token: Enables democratic decision-making on educational topics and project investments.\n3.2 Objectives and Mission Statement\nW3ET aims to ensure safe, informed, and decentralized engagement in the Web3 space, moving beyond cryptocurrencies and NFTs to highlight the broader community and technological aspects.\n\n4.
