So you’re taking the leap into the web3 space?
----------------------------------------------

### Firstly, WELCOME!

### You are joining  a beautiful community of people that place support, transparency and teamwork above all else!

**_Unfortunately, there is a bit of a learning curve to get to a place of understanding._**

While we, at The Blueprint, believe **the best way to learn is to find communities and immerse yourself** _(as well as tune in each week to the show of course)._ There are some **key elements** that are important to understand to make sure you’re **safe and aware of how things work.**

### So with the help of some friends, Saint Rien has compiled the following list!

The only “required reading”...
------------------------------

**_The following two links (and specifically the first one) we would classify as ‘important’. Some of you might be happy with just reading through both of these and having a basic understanding, but we’ll add some extras for you bookworms at the end!_**

### Important link #1 - How to set up and use your crypto wallet (to purchase and hold your NFT’s) - Surge Women

[https://www.surgewomen.io/learn-about-web3/set-up-metamask-wallet](https://www.surgewomen.io/learn-about-web3/set-up-metamask-wallet)

_Surge Women have done an incredible job at simplifying the confusing and risky process of setting up a crypto wallet. They break it down with screen shots and easy-to-follow steps. Make sure to read and understand this entire page as there are very intelligent scams out there and we want you all to stay safe!_

### Important link #2 - Web3 Basics by Crypto, Culture and Society

[https://cryptosociety.notion.site/Web3-Starter-Pack-5a922714348e4a7cbaa45b2f0a8861bd](https://cryptosociety.notion.site/Web3-Starter-Pack-5a922714348e4a7cbaa45b2f0a8861bd)

_Crypto, Culture and Society’s Web3 Starter Pack is awesome. They break the space down into sections and different levels of understanding and the notion site is really easy to use._

Still want to learn more?
-------------------------

### Here are some more resources if you’re enjoying the read!

_Disclaimer:_ **_There is TOO much information out there on web3._** _Take these links as an opportunity to take a look around and see what interests you._ **_Take your time and be gentle with yourself_**_, (a lot of these articles may take a couple of reads as well)._

### Gaby’s Web3 Reading list
