The Digital Assets Policy Project is pleased to once again sponsor a hands-on workshop covering the basics of Web3. This extremely popular workshop has been hosted annually since 2023.
No previous background knowledge or use of blockchain, crypto or Web3 is required. This is the workshop to attend not only if you want to learn the basics of blockchain, but also learn how to mint your own token and create your own decentralized autonomous organization or DAO.
The workshop will explain the basics of Web3, blockchain and crypto. Participants should bring their laptops as they will be guided through the steps to create a crypto wallet, buy and sell crypto assets and explore the Web3 world, including how to access different blockchains and understand the data that is available.
Then, participants will learn how to mint their own token, offer it for sale and begin trading live. They will also learn how to create their own DAO, the vehicle for launching a Web3 business.
Instructors: The lead instructor is Steve Derezinski, who has taught Blockchain Ventures at MIT Media Lab, Babson and MIT Bitcoin club, and has been involved in blockchain since 2016. Steve will be assisted by Colfax Selby, a software developer who has also been involved in blockchain for several years. He currently works with Privy, which provides tools for developers to authenticate and onboard users to Web3 applications, including creating and funding wallets.
