Hey there,
From writing about entrepreneurs to setting up my own space on the internet - it’s a giddy feeling!
The idea for this newsletter originated from my need to stay updated with the Web3 space. As a journalist, one has to constantly upskill to write relevant stories. So, I looked for an easy resource to catch up on Web3 every week, without having to spend hours in the rabbit hole of internet search.
I asked Twitter if there already exists a solution. Then, I explored Substack to find some contenders. Nothing substantial came up, there was hardly anyone simplifying all Web3 concepts from an Indian perspective.
Not many were writing about what’s happening in India’s Web3 ecosystem. Which was strange given the money and attention that the Web3 is getting in India. There, I saw an opportunity to write at the intersection of Web3 and India.
I want to write this newsletter for people who are interested in Web3 but are bogged down by the variety of jargon that this world uses. In other words, simplifying terms like - Buidl, Hodl, Airdrop, Smart Contracts, etc - is the mission.
The plan is to send a new term to your inbox every Wednesday in alphabetical order.
Why Newsletter?
Over the years, newsletters like Splainer, and Morning Brew have helped me stay on top of everyday news. I enjoy consuming content in this format and I also have experience in writing newsletters. I produced 37 editions of Inc42 Plus’ weekly newsletter The Outline from Feb 2020 to October 2021.
Today, every professional needs to constantly upskill themselves to stay relevant. Otherwise, we risk being left behind. The world is changing by the day and this newsletter will help you keep up.
The world is changing by the day and this newsletter will help you keep up.
While the first 26 editions will cover the fundamental Web3 terms. Feel free to comment with any other words that you would like me to explain. I’ll add it to my list!
