2022-10-23 21:39:59 Web3 projects focus on education to bring Latin American women to the sector

Interest in Web3 continues to grow despite the crypto bear market. A recent article from McKinsey noted that venture capital investments in Web3 exceeded $18 billion during the first half of 2022. Findings from Cointelegraph Research also show that Web3 attracted the most interest from venture capitalists. While notable, a lack of diversity has become apparent within the Web3 sector. For instance, it was found that only 16% of nonfungible token (NFT) creators are women. Although this number is low, women are taking an interest in owning digital assets. Given this, industry experts believe that a lack of education around Web3 is creating a barrier to entry for women, especially for those who are from underrepresented regions, such as those from Latin America.

2022-10-21 23:00:01 Solana Web3 Phone 'One of the Moonshots': Anatoly Yakovenko

Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko took the stage last night at Disrupt, TechCrunch’s annual global startup conference, and hinted that Solana’s new smartphone Saga will offer a fresh alternative to the current business models used by companies like Google and Apple. “This is one of the moonshots,” he said, describing the Saga as an experiment that’s “cheap enough to try.” He added that it could present a challenge to the current rental models employed Google and Apple's app stores, which can both take up to 30% in revenue from developers. "They’re built around a rent-seeking model where all the content is owned by the creator and you as a user rent it," he said.

2022-10-20 22:50:08 Solana’s web3 phone is an ‘opportunity’ against Google and Apple, co-founder says

Solana announced its web3-focused smartphone Saga and as the phone is approaching its official release date, the plan has shifted.While it’s not easy to launch a new phone successfully — as we’ve seen with countless other companies’ efforts — Solana is looking to approach the launch differently, Yakovenko hinted. This is a tool to attract developers, Yakovenko added. “This is a developer play.” Prior to launching Solana, Yakovenko spent most of his professional career at Qualcomm and has helped other major tech companies like Facebook and Windows create mobile phones. It’s worth noting a bunch of those failed.

2022-10-18 22:25:09 Facebook is on a quest to destroy the Metaverse and Web3

The future of how we socialize online is being defined as we speak, and it’s far too important to leave things to the likes of Meta and other mega social companies. Just a surface-level look at Meta’s history is enough to understand its tendency to severely miss the mark. Let’s touch on three times that Meta fell short of building the future of online social experiences. In 2010, Meta — still operating as Facebook at the time — released its “Open Graph” protocol, providing developers with a network of links between friends in order to encourage other people to take up its apps. It was a way for users to carry their Facebook identities from app to app, making it easy for developers to give those users a personalized experience.

2022-10-15 23:00:24 Meta’s Web3 hopes face challenge of decentralization and market headwinds

Meta’s metaverse aspirations haven’t fared well for the tech giant, as the firm wiped out nearly five years’ worth of market cap in just 10 months of 2022. Meta’s crypto aspirations first came to light in 2019 after a failed experience in the digital payment sector with a Messenger-integrated payment option. The tech giant subsequently revealed its plans to launch a universal stablecoin backed by a basket of fiat currencies from different nations. The plan was to introduce a global digital payment network with the help of its social media reach of more than two billion active users on Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram.
