Concepts [1hr approx]
🌐 Concept of the online platform: (2min)
If the respondent does not know ANYTHING about web3:
Web1 = old internet, static websites, Web2 = internet of social media, Web3 = internet of blockchain and open source
Blockchain = ability to host information on-line in a decentralised way, using cryptography and allowing new versions of ownership and organisation. Core values include transparency and censorship resistance.
Platform Concept:
A community building technology platform that integrates learning with web3 governance. In this platform you can set up a governance system, which allows: members to discuss and refine their ideas and needs, and turn them into proposals to be voted on. The potential usage is to allow communities to self-organize, debate and refine their ideas so they can be enacted. This platform would also allow building shared projects, such as raising and managing funds, access to a web3 learning library, connections with other communities to learn best practices and more. Finally this would be a community owned and controlled platform.
