Web3GO Labs: Web3 Innovation Lab

Web3GO Labs is an innovation lab focused on building Web3, and its main core is its launch of Web3 Startup Incubator. Around this incubator, it will gradually build a DAO organization to serve Web3 entrepreneurs, as well as a project ecology such as a Web3 Entrepreneur Education Center, so as to establish a complete Web3 Build system.

Web3GO Labs is currently focused on helping early stage Chinese Web3 entrepreneurs to complete the most difficult process of 0-1. The main members of the team mainly come from the technology and operation departments of Ali, Tencent, Byte and other companies. They include established Web2 entrepreneurs, early crypto explorers and long-term builders.

According to Web3GO Labs, since 2017, it has gradually witnessed the crypto world from nothing to something, experienced the explosion of the underlying public chain to the blossoming of infrastructure everywhere, witnessed DeFi from its infancy to growing into a mature application scene, and the continuous iteration of tracks from pictures to NFT and from games to GameFi. It is deeply aware that Web3 will bring revolutionary technological changes and will attract a large influx of practitioners.

However, compared to the market volume and developer scale of Web2, Web3 is undoubtedly still at too early a stage. Therefore, in the face of cyclical market fluctuations, Web3 startup teams will undoubtedly face more challenges, such as early financing, team building, and technical barriers. This makes many teams have to fight alone in the early stages.

Based on this situation, Web3GO Labs wants to build an innovation lab to find the best budding Web3 entrepreneurs and developers. It hopes to provide valuable startup information for early stage teams, such as Web3 early incubation direction strategies, technical exchange seminars, financing strategies and market cold start strategies.

It hopes to keep spreading crypto culture, leading Web3 creators to understand the overall architecture of the crypto industry and change the era of data and time monopoly through technological innovation and business model change.

Project Progress

Currently, Web3GO Labs has launched a startup rant section on Twitter Space called "Web3 GO! It's a weekly live Web3 startup talk in Twitter Space. With this column, it hopes to present a complete and realistic view of the Web3 world to its users.

Also, in the past 2022, Web3GO Labs has launched two Web3 programs:

1. Web3GO Builder Program

This program is aimed at early stage startup teams that have already entered Web3. For the Web3 ideas proposed by these teams, Web3GO Labs will provide financing guidance, marketing strategy, operation planning and other assistance.

2、Web3GO Labs Community Experiment

Web3GO Labs believes that Web3 will follow the early creation and destruction cycle of the Internet and eventually bring about a paradigm shift in finance, technology, and culture. Therefore, it has created Web3GO Labs community experiments on topics such as entrepreneurship, investment, programming, operation, product, marketing, and community in the Web3 world, and users can participate in the community experiments through Discord.

Product introduction

1、Decentralized startup incubator

Web3GO Labs will provide an online space for Web3 early stage entrepreneurs to incubate their projects from zero to one. Here, users can discuss how to build their first Web3 product, how to build a community, how to get seed funding, and how to market the product.

2. Decentralized Community

Through the decentralized community, Web3 early-stage entrepreneurs can share their startup ideas and brainstorm ideas at the same time. They can even reach out to like-minded people and directly form a team to start building Web3.

3、Distributed Education Center

Through the Distributed Education Center, Web3GO Labs will provide Web3 early-stage entrepreneurs with all the knowledge, technology and ideas they need to enter Web3. It will also conduct regular technical study groups focused on learning a certain language or model.

Conclusion

Building Web3 is a long and difficult road, both for new entrepreneurs starting out and for those looking to transition from the Web2 world into Web3. And as Web3GO Labs said, most people in this situation can only choose to fight alone.

In response to this situation, a service platform such as Web3GO Labs was created to help early Web3 builders. It may not produce too much direct economic value in a short period of time, but in the long run, it will make the Web3 ecosystem gradually blossom as a guide. In this context, we may wait and see for the future development of Web3.

  • The EU will collect data proving that cryptocurrency PoW mechanisms "seriously" harm the environment and plans to develop sustainability standards

    On September 28th, the European Commission released a tender contract worth 800,000 euros (approximately $842,000) aimed at mitigating the "significant harm" that cryptocurrency poses to the environment. The research, which will end on November 10th, will establish standards that will be incorporated into potential future EU policies to curb the impact of cryptocurrency on climate change and develop new energy efficiency labels for blockchain. The European Commission stated in the tender document that "there is evidence that crypto-assets can cause significant damage to the climate and the environment," which could undermine the EU's greenhouse gas reduction targets, indicating that new sustainable development standards may be adopted in the future. EU legislators are concerned about the energy-intensive PoW consensus mechanism that supports blockchain such as Bitcoin. The EU's research will be completed within a year and will study green issues related to the use of water, waste, natural resources, and energy by cryptocurrencies. (CoinDesk)
