Introducing Testnet Labs — Web3 Projects with a Purpose

I, Andre Flores, am launching a new project: Testnet Labs. Along with my cofounder Mike Thu, we hope to push web3 adoption forward and change the negative public perception of the tech into a positive one by focusing solely on launching products that solve a problem or make our lives better.

What is it exactly?

As an experimental studio, our goal is to ideate and launch projects quickly. Unlike current startup journeys, our strategy is to create micro-projects and release them to the web3 community. If it gains traction, we will continue to build out that project; if not, we will be quick to move on.

What problem are we solving?

Public sentiment on web3 is negative.

The general public doesn’t like crypto, and we can’t blame them because all they hear about are scams, frauds, rug pulls, and money lost. Almost all the conversations surrounding Web3 are about investing, making money, and losing money.

Unfortunately, we’re not highlighting projects with actual use cases that when there’s a discussion about web3 — it immediately dies when someone asks: “Give me a web3 project that has an actual use case.”. I bet most of you can’t answer that one right now, let alone identify a web3 product you use outside of investing.

Our mission

We love web3 tech and the possibilities it provides for real-world applications. With that said, our missio — nay, our promise is only to build projects that address a use case. We want to show the world that web3 can improve our lives for the better and is not only meant as an investment vehicle.

We’re open to exploring already identified use cases such as:

  • Global money movement
  • Digital certification
  • Ticketing
  • and many more

Why should you care?

If you believe in web3 but are tired of hearing the same old news of people getting rich and losing money, we’re here to help give you hope. We want to give you a space where you can be encouraged and look forward to projects that will be available.

We’re not stopping there. We also want to allow you to participate in the web3 adoption movement. Want to learn how? Follow us as we will release news about our first project very soon!
