That’s why we created our free membership NFT, which encapsulates ALANA’s “10 Principles of a Good Community.” The inspiration for these principles came during a thoughtful conversation with Dani, a fellow DAO member, where we reflected on how Dieter Rams’ “10 Principles of Good Design” dis...

Trust in a Trustless World

"Blockchain doesn’t ask us to trust—it empowers us to verify, together."This week, we explore how blockchain is redefining trust in an era of digital uncertainty. In a world where data breaches and centralized failures erode confidence, blockchain’s core attributes—decentralization, transparency, and immutability—are laying the foundation for a new kind of trust, one that doesn’t rely on intermediaries or single points of failure.Web 3 LearningVocabularyDecentralization Blockchain distributes...

As of 2024, there are approximately over 1,000 distinct blockchain networks in existence, encompassing a wide range of applications and industries.

Web3 Wallets - Your Keys, Your House

There are sufficient articles on Web3 wallets, but I felt a simplified explanation that was highly relatable was missing. In this unique approach, let's imagine the Internet as a vast city. Web2 is the older, centralized downtown area controlled by a few major corporations, while Web3 is like a new, decentralized suburb where residents have more control over their properties and interactions. It's literally the cool kid's corner. Let's see which metaphors are relevant for capturing a Web3 wal...
