Project Name

Crypto Babes

Project Description

Crypto Babes is a women-led community started in 2021 with the purpose to grow, learn and earn in Crypto. We offer free crypto education to women entering the space and those that want to further their journey in the space. Our primary goal is to help the underrepresented, black women get informed about web3, decentralization, and the opportunities it provides.

Final Product

Our final product and aim for the month of April are to host an event. The event will be happening on April 22nd from 4 pm-7 pm est, and it will include the following agenda:

4:00-4:30 Networking and Introductions

4:30-5:00 Intro to Crypto and Blockchain: We would also touch base on 2022 crypto trends such as DAOs, NFTs, and their utility.

5:00-5:30

Break / Networking

5:30- 6:30 Career Panel: All roads lead to Web 3

In this panel, we will highlight women in web 3 in all types of technical and non-technical roles. They will share career insight, advice, and challenges entering the space.

6:30-7:00pm

Questions and Discussions. We will help spread the word about the Ocean Protocol community and add the Ocean token to their Metamask.

The primary objective is to host educational workshops, foster African women communities, and get people excited about starting their career in web 3.

Attendees will leave the event with a better understanding of crypto and blockchain.

Hi @Malte_Ocean, thanks so much for your recommendations, we will join the discord channel and also attend the town hall meeting, another thing I noticed is that our proposal is tagged under Build and Integrate, instead of the event and outreach category, in the notion page page.

Hey @cryptobabes,

you are now running under the “Outreach” category, and by that you are also protected by the “New Outreach Project” earmark, securing 12,000 $OCEAN exclusively for projects under this category, with a $3000 cap for every 1st time project of course. Best of success!
