Introducing ⛩️ GaaS - Gating as a Service

Gate your dapp using ANY on-chain data and txns.

1. Create a gate using a contract and an ABI
2. Select Events and Functions

How to TRACK NFT MINT EVENTS in REAL-TIME!

β€œtreat finding a web3 PM job like a founder

i spent 15 years in web2 PM roles, but when I looked at web3 I re-invented myself

i looked at the landscape and answered fundamental Q’s and found that ⁦@AlchemyPlatform⁩ fit best” - ⁦@0xShah⁩ twitter.com/i/spaces/1nAJE… it’s less about β€œI want a PM job” and more about β€œthis startup has X, Y, Z needs and I can help”

that’s the attitude and mindset that will serve people well (vs. a more linear and traditional path)

@EthereumDenver 2022 was the craziest blockchain conference I've ever been to

1. DeFi, NFTs, crypto, tooling -- web3 is here to stay
2. so many people already build on @AlchemyPlatform and love it
3. i'm getting too old for weeklong parties

my summary of an epic 8 days πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Day 1 - hosted NFT API Workshop

@crypt0zeke @princeofbothell @omarsayha and I taught a workshop to build an NFT explorer dapp

According to @misterreynolds, we had the most engaged crowd out of all the workshops that day πŸ”₯

check out the reviews πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

what if there was a token that rewarded you for learning 1. you get tokens for sharing your learnings in the form of tutorials, videos, projects

2. you get tokens for curating the highest quality content you can find

3. by holding the token, you gain access to conferences, live streams, study groups

πŸ’° LET'S TALK MONEY πŸ’°

if you're jumping into web3 dev right now for the first time and exploring @solidity_lang, @ethereum smart contracts, and making NFTs...

1) welcome ❀️ you're in for one heck of a ride πŸ₯³

2) MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW GAS AND TX FEES WORK πŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ Back in the day, deployment for building DApps was relatively affordable.

πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ CryptoPunks was deployed in 2017 for $7.56
πŸ• $SHIB was deployed in July 2020 for $60

let's say you're on the market for an NFT

you're browsing @opensea, you have your @MetaMask wallet ready...

Q: how do you know that the art you're buying has a chance to last long into the future?

A: check if the art is hosted on @IPFS or @ArweaveTeam! πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Most NFT projects on OpenSea are either

A) directly uploaded and sold via OpenSea, or

B) built as an ERC721 or ERC1155 contract and integrated after minting

NFTs, cryptocurrencies, DeFi...

they're buzz-wordy and hyped up, but for a good reason:

Web3.0 is here to stay

but, what is it?!

here's a thread of the best resources to learn about the next evolution of the internet πŸ‘‡ 1. Don't know what "web3" even means?

Here's @dabit3's excellent overview on the phases of the internet.

web1 -> web2 -> web3

tldr; web3 is the the latest and greatest way for us to hang out online
