My work involves creating educational resources and onboarding strategies to illustrate DeFi and Web3 technologies, leveraging my experience in testnet environments to provide practical insights.\n\n**Accomplishments:**\n\n* **Gitcoin Booth Onboarding Success (Borderless 3.0):**\n    * At the Borderless 3.0 event, I played a key role in the Gitcoin booth, successfully onboarding over 50 participants to contribute to projects during the GG22 round. This involved providing clear explanations of the Gitcoin Grants process and guiding individuals through the donation process. This experience demonstrated my ability to effectively communicate complex Web3 concepts to a diverse audience and drive active participation in decentralized funding initiatives.\n    * Relevant link: [https://x.com/Callum_Trace/status/1858051722578444721](https://x.com/Callum_Trace/status/1858051722578444721) (A tweet showing my work at the gitcoin booth)\n* **Web3 Education and Testnet Onboarding (University Setting):**\n    * Within my university environment, I have actively onboarded fellow students to the Web3 ecosystem by demystifying key concepts like testnets and protocol interaction. Through clear and concise explanations, I have empowered students to engage with various testnet protocols, fostering a practical understanding of decentralized technologies. This initiative has helped to build foundational knowledge and practical skills among my peers, encouraging further exploration of the Web3 space.\n\n**Community Engagements:**\n\n* My dedication to fostering Web3 communities is evident through my active participation in the Borderless Tech Club at UNN, where I consistently attend and engage in most of the events that have been held.\n* Furthermore, I serve as a moderator for the Shot Caller Alpha community, playing a crucial role in providing comprehensive orientation and onboarding for newcomers to the Web3 space. This involves guiding individuals through the complexities of the ecosystem, ensuring they have the necessary knowledge and resources to participate effectively.\n* Relevant links:\n    * [https://x.com/Borderlessunn/status/1781320793793634744](https://x.com/Borderlessunn/status/1781320793793634744) (One of the earliest borderless tech events I attended)\n\n**Funding Goals and How the Funds Will Be Used:**\n\nFunding will significantly amplify my ability to teach Web3 education in Nigerian universities by enabling the creation of easy-to-understand learning materials, expansion of hands-on onboarding initiatives, and the fostering of thriving campus-based Web3 communities. This will include organizing regional events to reach more ears, ultimately empowering the next generation of Nigerian Web3 contributors and accelerating the adoption of decentralized technologies within the Nigeria.", "logoImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "Callum_Trace"}
