Recap of Last Month:

🧭 Onchain questing, event design and international event organizing

The session was centered around onchain questing, event design, and international event organizing. We heard from Bunny, the CEO of Dora and afterwards, a panel of International Farcaster Friday event organizers.

💖 Some Takeways from the Panel:

Fun as a KPI! Building Social Roles and Identity Through Questing: Remember to make experiences fun! Riley and Bunny lamented about the quests that can take too long and make the experience uninspiring to return (like downloading an app that takes 5 minutes at in-person events). Some effective quest designs tap into the social aspect of questing, where users are “rewarded for being in the know” or for helping others. Crafting quests that align with different personalities—whether “healers” or “information sharers”—gives people a role within the community, reinforcing their value in the ecosystem through recognition and connection. Riley shared a recent fun IRL quest: the scavenger hunt during FWB Fest.

Bringing Online Connections Into Real-World Depth: In real life (IRL) events add layers to online relationships, creating opportunities for honest conversations and connections beyond chat channels. Events like those in Boston, Chicago, London, Toronto and Las Vegas for monthly Farcaster Fridays show that real-world gatherings help “cultivate a place where people can share information” and build a shared identity that feels local and meaningful. This continuity between online and offline spaces is helpful for a community’s long-term depth and trust. IRL events are also helpful for onboarding folks live to Web3 products, and many crypto folks have invited their non-crypto friends who are curious about learning something new.

Creating Feedback Loops from IRL Events to Strengthen Engagement: Casual feedback—like asking, “Are you coming to the next one?” or encouraging people to share “what they learned”—is an easy way to capture insights and keep events user-centered. Real-time questions capture the energy and takeaways while fresh, helping build a sense of collaboration between organizers and the community. This feedback creates a loop that improves future experiences and keeps people engaged. Folks have experimented with POAPS and physical items like pins and swag as fun keepsakes for attending events.

💸 Grants

This month, we’re excited to welcome inspiring leaders in Web3 and community building: Awkquarian, Natalie, Mashal and Xandra. Each brings a unique perspective on funding and community in the Web3 space, from illustrating digital comics funded by grants to driving social impact projects and supporting creators through grant programs. Together, they embody the values of inclusivity, cultural impact, and the power of collective support in Web3.

During the 2nd half, our Community Strategy friends will dive into grants for builders and muse on the latest topics in the community on our minds.

✨Meet Some of our Speakers and Topics:

Awkquarian
@rakshitaphilip
A freelance designer and content marketer for Web3 brands, Awkquarian also creates and sells digital comics as NFTs through her series Coven Classics. She’ll share insights on how grants can open doors for underrepresented creators in Web3 and enable innovative projects without traditional VC funding. She received a grant earlier this year, enabling her to pursue her series seriously. Now, she wants to see young founders, women, LGBTQ+ founders, and artists get their big ideas funded to make crypto more inclusive. Give: Guidance on leveraging grants; Ask: Support for funding opportunities for diverse creators. 

Natalie Crue
@NatalieCrue
A cultural producer with 10+ years in crypto, Natalie is building the future of arts and impact funding on-chain. With a community, nonprofit, and arts and culture background, she’s an OG at PizzaDAO, where she leads social impact and supports events in over 81 countries, and is co-founder of Corner Store Co-op. Natalie is eager to highlight cool funding experiments and explore how we can collectively push forward new grant models in Web3. Give: PizzaDAO event support, general grant insights, and help finding funds; Ask: In search of developers and UX/UI folks for cultural experiments. Community: Building belonging, holding space, and wayfinding—accountable to ourselves and the cultural underpinnings of crypto as a web of care.

Mashal Waqar
@arlery
Head of Marketing at Octant, Mashal co-authored the State of Web3 Grants and Retroactive Grants reports. With governance roles across the Octant Community Fund, Gitcoin Grants Council, RARI Foundation, and ThankARB, she has reviewed over 130 grants across Web3 ecosystems. Formerly co-founder of a global media company,  (The Tempest), a revenue-focused accelerator program for early-stage founders, a femtech startup, and a community-building consultancy. Mashal holds a B.S. in Computing Security with a minor in International Business from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). She’s a Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 winner of the 19th WIL Economic Forum Young Leader of the Year award. Give: Insights to raise awareness and improve grant programs; Ask: Engaging conversations on community and current trends. Community in their words: Community is everything and has been at the heart of much of my work. In our space, it makes or breaks projects, but it’s also become a bit of a “dirty word” as it’s used for everything. At a time when people feel isolated and helpless given global events, having and feeling a sense of community is more important than ever.

Xandra
@XandraDozet
As the Grants Program Manager at CharmVerse, Xandra helps programs connect with the proper grants to launch and scale Web3 projects. She’ll talk about the impact of grants as a way for builders to get projects off the ground without needing investors. Give: Support and guidance on grants; Ask: Engagement with CharmVerse for community and funding needs. Community, in their words: a network of mutual support where people can turn to each other for advice, opportunities, and knowledge-sharing.

Recap of Last Month:

✍Writers and Storytellers Panel

Practical advice on how to best position oneself for opportunity, collaboration, and a better internet through storytelling

💖 Memorable Moments from the Panel:

1) An observation of the space we’ve created - Erika: This is such a peaceful, welcoming environment where no one interrupts each other. Everyone is listening to everyone else. Maybe I’ve just been in too many spaces where people are talking over one another, and no one can finish a sentence!

2) On finding inspiration to write - Riley: I watch a lot of YouTube - philosophy, games and other non-crypto topics, YB: I look at articles from the 80s and 90s and often there’s something similar in crypto. Later in the stream, YB also shared a memorable moment of watching a skateboarder in Washington Park (NYC) trying the same trick repeatedly. Finally, when they landed it, everyone burst into applause. Takeaway - doing something random (and away from your routine) can lead to inspiration.

3) Pro-tip on getting to events/event coverage as a form of content - Dayana: Pitch yourself! I offer to write - put yourself forward; there is nothing to lose! I focus on things people tell me personally and find little conversation anecdotes.

4) As a group of mostly (all) introverts, tips for handling overstimulation at large events like ETHDenver, ETHCC - Naomiii - I bring a book. Sometimes, people start asking me about my book, and we end up talking about a topic way more interesting than just exchanging elevator pitches.

5) Everyone had an interesting perspective to share and helpful tips. But, I didn’t expect to laugh so much, and a few of the funniest comments came from Liv - I really like true crime, and all the details and poking holes, and that’s great as a journalist, but not great for making new friends. I learned from a podcast that one of the Euphoria actors pretended to be a cat (for inspiration/creativity/letting go) and told the interviewer they should try it too, and pretend to be a bird! 

These are just a few moments that stood out to me, watch the whole session over here on YouTube.

🔍 Dive Deeper into Quests and Event Design!

This month’s session will be packed with more practical advice and inspiring stories - this time from those who are actively shaping their community through innovative event design and quest-based engagement. We’ll spend the first hour exploring the intricate world of Quests and Event Design with Bunny and Riley, inspired by Riley's recent article, Questing into a New Experience Economy.

In the second half, I’ll join an international group of Community Builders who host a multitude of IRL events for various communities, including Farcaster Fridays. This is one of the many common threads that have brought us together, and as we each prepare to host our second official Farcaster Friday on Oct. 4th, we’re going to chat live about what’s worked well so far, challenges and lessons learned, and our hopes for the future.

Whether you’re looking to host your own events or simply interested in the latest mechanics of community building, this livestream is for you!

🗓 Farcaster Fridays

When I told some IRL friends about plans to be part of the inaugural Farcaster Friday event series worldwide, they were impressed and wondered “How do you get your alpha?” The truth is, I am lucky to be IRL friends with the creators of this event series @ted and @matthew :)

Recap of Last Month: Last month, we embraced our ethos of experimentation by testing out a 2-hour panel with eight different speakers, and I'm thrilled to share that we hit a record of every host and guest online at once! The session, titled "Surviving Between Work for Marketers and Community Builders - Finding Meaning and Joy," brought us together to chat current market dynamics, trends and how we’re all finding strength and inspiration in our communities as we navigate the volatility of crypto and our own career paths.

Discussion included:

1. Being Chronically Online vs Taking Breaks:
   Some spicy takes! Love it or hate it, we explored how Twitter/X remains a critical platform for web3 marketing, serving as a proxy for industry engagement. We highlighted the importance of balancing online presence with mental health, and the value of taking intentional breaks from social media. However, some of us, especially in specific marketing functions, need to be chronically online, given the fast pace of this industry.

2. Unconventional Resumes in Web3:
   The panel dove into the unique aspects of web3 hiring, where resumes might include NFTs or POAPs. Again, there were differing thoughts amongst the group here! We discussed the importance of understanding current narratives and trends in crypto and the challenges of evaluating marketing experience in such a rapidly evolving space. A couple of tweets caught our eye that we yapped about:

   

Claire Kart

@clairekart

a potential candidate dm’ed me on TG and when I asked to see their work (cv, portfolio, links, anything) they sent me a link to ***mint an nft of their resume***

220

4:57 PM • Jul 24, 2024

3. Building Authentic Connections:
   We discussed the importance of building genuine connections with followers, especially in an algorithm-driven world where platforms like TikTok can make content distribution impersonal. We also debated the merits of different platforms, such as LinkedIn, for professional networking versus decentralized social media for staying on top of trends, with Twitter/X still holding strong for reach.

4. Navigating Early-Stage Crypto Companies:
   A few of us, either actively hiring or searching, shared the challenges of articulating product value in early-stage crypto companies and the importance of asking the right questions during interviews. There’s an apparent mismatch between the demand for talent and the visibility of job postings, making it crucial for professionals to express their expertise effectively. We shared different approaches to finding work, like doubling down on writing expertise and letting inbound work flow in based on that. Another tactic was asking trusted people what they think your strengths are and leaning into these answers that may surprise you!

5. Fun Ways We’re Growing and Learning:
   We considered hosting an unofficial book club, and a few folks recommended books like The Creative Act and The Artist’s Way, "very Boys Club coded," which includes writing prompts that teach you how to access your creative force, maximize your creativity and achieve your artistic destiny. Unique idea for a Book Club - everyone reads a different book and shares what they learned!

This Month's Theme: Writing Tips for the Digital Age. In this edition, we’re bringing together a panel of onchain writers and storytellers who will share practical advice on how to position yourself for opportunities, collaborate effectively, and contribute to a better internet through the power of storytelling.

Meet Some of our Speakers and Topics:

Liv:
https://warpcast.com/liv

Expect deep dives into topics like post-individualism and how we can humanize our online communities.

Naomi:
https://warpcast.com/naomiii
https://x.com/Naomi_fromhh

With six years in the crypto space, Naomi brings a wealth of experience to our panel. She’s currently working at SQD while contributing to Nearweek and Coinjar. Naomi will share her journey as a writer in this unique industry, including the tools that have helped her and how to stay aligned with your values even when the landscape shifts. She hopes to learn how others build thriving communities and stay true to their principles.

His hypersub is an "Onchain ClassPass," where partnering with creators and founders in the space leads to community cool perks—he launched a fun "Onchain BeReal" game where folks were encouraged to complete the mint of the day. Tune in to hear what two years on FC have been like for him and what else YB is working on.

My Q&A with cohost Riley as prep for this month:

• Something I admire about you is how consistent you have been with writing - what tips do you have for staying consistent, and what keeps you motivated?
  
  Staying motivated to write is easier said than done. An immense, infinite curiosity and desire to help translate the more pressing issues of our time keeps me going. I believe consistency comes naturally with doing a thing you love. I can write and never get bored of it, unlike most other things. Making friends with people who have different writing styles and voices helps to push me to consistently challenge myself as a writer.

• I know you’ve received some grants for your writing (congrats!) - can you say more about that?
  I took a bit of a break from writing my newsletter over the summer. However, due to prior consistency and continued publishing I have been writing for other groups I'm part of. These include Unlock Protocol for Tally's Content Guild, editing a book for Greenpill Writer's Guild, and I was sponsored by Celo as a content creator for FWB FEST.

• Sneak peek of what you’ll be talking about?
  I'll be talking about my journey as a professional writer and editor, and the process it takes to complete a successful piece of writing. Secondly, I'll give some practical advice on building successful storytelling into your writing practice and provide action steps writers can take to increase their skills.

Reflecting on last month’s session, Adrienne spoke about her unexpected career pivot to launch GM Farcaster Network, a media company built on Farcaster. Madam Cult Leader shared thoughts on the “disenchantment of communities just building for monetary gain,” which inspired the creation of inclusive IRL spaces where “everyone is welcome - no condition as long as you’re there to support one another.”

In the spirit of finding meaning and joy, this edition brings together Marketers and Community Builders to share their perspectives and inspire each other for the next phase of their journeys. Whether you’re seeking your next role, thinking of breaking into crypto, or simply want to stay on top of relevant trends, this is your moment.

Some thoughts from last time:

“I learned about the value of multi-generational groups and suggestion to invite different generations to your communities so that the elders can share their experience, and the younger ones can bring a new energy.”

“The community friends hour always leaves me learning something new.  We also went into tactical tips and tools for community management and I’m looking forward to trying some of the new ones that were shared, like Blaze”

“I appreciated the questions posed on how many Communities are you part of? To me, you can only be really active in a few, and it’s OK to have different moments in your life when you prioritize different ones.”

Special Segment: Community Strategy Friends

Tune in to a live session amongst our intimate web3 Community Strategy Friends group. Last month in our monthly session, we discussed everything from the practicalities of web3 marketing to the imaginative realms of art. In sharing our insights live and in an open setting, we aim to set the stage for a session that explores creative, experimental approaches to building and nurturing online communities.

Vision and Essence of 'The State of People':

Our digital rave at 'The State of People' is where the neon glow of web3 meets the warmth of community spirit. With a mission to educate and empower, we celebrate the unconventional, turning the internet into a cozy, beautifully diverse space.

This series is not just about sharing ideas; it's about fostering a movement that champions diversity, genuine connections, and the transformative power of a digitally-enhanced world.
