Episode 160 - CryptoConexión & WAGMI LatAm - Catalyzing the Next Generation of Web3 Innovators in Latin America
Manage episode 424361948 series 3407795
In episode 160, we’re excited to welcome Monica Talan of CryptoConexión and WAGMI LatAm, two incredible projects focused on catalyzing the Web3 movement in Latin America. We discuss why Latin America has been such an exciting hub for innovation, how Web3 can create economic and social inclusion in the region, some of the most exciting projects coming out of Latin America, and much more.
--Three Key Takeaways--
- One of the biggest barriers to accessing Web3 for non-English speakers in a lack of resources and educational materials in their language. The importance of this cannot be understated, so it’s vital that education and onboarding projects (including Crypto Altruism) work to offer their content in multiple languages.
- Hackathons are an incredible tool for catalyzing innovation, however they have traditionally been focused on the development of software. There can be a lot of value in expanding the concept and culture of hackathons to other disciplines including education, international development, public goods, etc., to ensure diverse individuals can benefit from hackathons.
- A combination of great leaders, a focus on the ethos of Web3, projects centered around accessibility and social impact, and a pre-existing foundation of innovation make Latin America a great place for building and experimenting in Web3.

While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment. We host a variety of guests on this podcast with the sole purpose of highlighting the social impact use cases of this technology. That being said, Crypto Altruism does not endorse any of these projects, and we recognize that, since this is an emerging sector, some may be operating in regulatory grey areas, and as such, we cannot confirm their legality in the jurisdictions in which they operate, especially as it pertains to decentralized finance protocols. So, before getting involved with any project, it’s important that you do your own research and confirm the legality of the project. More on the disclaimer at cryptoaltruism.org.
