The Problem at Hand with Web3
Presently, much of the attention around Web3 (i.e. the new internet backed by blockchains) is surrounded by misinformation and misrepresentation of what it is and what it isn't. The typical signals the average person is exposed to regarding Web3 casts a negative light instead of focusing on what the movement is trying to achieve. A lot has to do with a perception that Web3 and Cryptocurrency speculation are indistinguishable which is just not true. Web3 is the umbrella that covers the entire ecosystem and Cryptocurrency is one of the core innovations that falls under it. Indeed, Web3 is more than just Cryptocurrency but the world doesn't hear or see that narrative. Much of the current narrative comes from mainstream media amplifying negativity around the space to spread FUD, celebrities taking advantage of their unknowing fans and in general people who frankly don't know what they're talking about. These are not the informational sources our friends and family should have to rely on to learn the space. We can do much better.
Who We Are
The Glosseta Foundation is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to push forward accessible, decentralized, open and easily digestible Web3 content to the everyday person across the globe. As previously mentioned, too much of today's Web3 educational content and documentation is geared towards a more technical audience and in most cases, doesn't make sense to the average person looking to learn. Furthermore, there currently isn't a community-driven effort to come up with a single source of truth for factual content around Web3. This is where the Glosseta Foundation is looking to make its mark with the help of the entire Web3 community. The effort of the foundation will center around three main pillars: The creation of the educational platform; the creation of a common decentralized data API and moderation protocol/mechanism to power the platform and the Web3 community around factual data; and uniting the entire Web3 community to come together to make this vision become reality. The educational platform will be driven and evolved through the existing vessel in the foundations arsenal, Glosseta.
