Overview
Education is a major barrier to the adoption of Web3. At the same time, it is a vast space, making it almost impossible for anyone to become knowledgeable about all the different verticles such as NFTs, DAOs, DeFi etc.
From my personal experience, it requires hours of reading and learning to master the concepts and jargons of the space. Along the way, I have found many valuable resources from Twitter threads that have given me a deeper understanding of the space. However, Twitter threads can be hard to navigate and newbies may not find their way to those threads.
Impact
I designed a site to share all the cryptocurrency resources and tools I found helpful,
grouping them into different buckets of topics.
HOW MIGHT WE
Simplify the navigation of Web3 learning resources
to help newbies find valuable information easily?

I created an old MacBook aesthetic to create a visually engaging and approachable experience for exploring different topics in Web3 without feeling overwhelmed. This nostalgic design evokes a sense of familiarity, helping to ease the intimidation of information overload. Additionally, the interactive element of movable, colored folders adds playfulness. Users can explore different topics at their own pace, adding a sense of fun and discovery. This combination of familiar aesthetics and engaging interactivity encourages users to explore, learn, and stay curious.
INSIDE THE FOLDER
Inside each topic folder, you'll find a curated collection of resources accompanied by a brief description, highlighting what you can expect to learn.
Key Learnings
Learning through play 🧩
Though Crypt Hoes began as a passion project, it quickly resonated with users who discovered the site organically. There is value of playful, familiar visuals in reducing intimidation, and the power of curation in making complex topics approachable.
Next steps
Start a community 👯
I would love to build a community around Crypt Hoes to empower women in web3,
as it is still a male dominated industry.
Explore new ways of learning 💡
I would also love to explore new ways to onboard more people into the space in ways that have not been done before. Such as learning through doing or interacting with others.
