Thanks to those of you who expressed interest or gave feedback last week on our new experiment around helping builders get feedback from and connect with relevant people. It has helped us continue to iterate quickly on what we are currently calling Builder Weeks. We're pretty excited about it.
You can read more about Builder Weeks here and apply for an upcoming group. The TL/DR is that we curate groups of builders that are relevant to each other and work together over the week to produce short Loom demos. We then circulate the videos that come out of those groups to other relevant people in our network that have offered to give feedback.
We kicked off this week with 3 projects centered around community tooling — Kazm, CloudScouts, and Guild — if you know any community leads, product geeks, or others would be keen to check out the latest from those and give feedback, we're looking for some additional reviewers!
Live demo day next week — Privy and ArkRunr
We’re very excited to have two very cool projects doing live demos next week. Lucas is showcasing Arkrunr, the future of virtual performance production. And Noel is demoing Privy, a library of tools for easy web2 to web3 onboarding. RSVP here and come chat about topics like airdropping assets to a user before they’ve created their first wallet 🤯
1/ Announcing: Wallet Pregeneration 
You can now mint or airdrop assets directly to a user’s email address, phone number, or socials
The best part??
No user action required! Engage a user even if they've never used your app (or web3 at all for that matter)
