Over the past three years, it has grown into so much more. Crypto Altruism has established itself as a trusted resource for Web3 impact builders and those who are curious to explore the intersections of blockchain with environmental and social impact. More than just a source of information, it has become a dynamic platform that actively engages and onboards social impact changemakers into the ecosystem, empowering them to leverage blockchain for sustainable and transformative outcomes.\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/394e3ad0-ad11-4af5-95a3-15312bd4cc99/GG22Blog.png?format=500w)  \n\n\n**Impact on the ReFi Ecosystem**\n\nSince Founding Crypto Altruism, I've created nearly 500 unique pieces of content focused on the intersection of blockchain and environmental and social impact. This includes:\n\n\n- 280 articles on the [Crypto Altruism Blog](https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/)\n\n- 191 [podcast episodes]( https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/podcast) across three series: The Crypto Altruism Podcast; The Web3 Nonprofit; and Impact on Optimism.\n\n- Nearly 100 unique pieces of content focused on Web3 climate solutions, including articles, podcast episodes, and infographics\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/51a99763-2748-4de5-bdd8-d7e5ad104410/GG22-Podcast.PNG?format=500w)  \n\n\nThrough the podcast, I place an emphasis on highlighting the stories of builders who are leveraging Web3 technology to have a real-world impact. This includes a mix of established projects that have onboarded thousands, to hyper local initiatives exploring novel use cases.\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/4138ab1f-b7c2-416b-8d69-87b4f5f56ab7/Ep172-SM-Promo.png?format=750w)  \n\n\nI have also had the honor of participating in a number of panels, spaces, and talks on blockchain for good. This includes serving as a 3-time host of Let’s GROW Live. In this role, I hosted daily X Spaces where we highlighted the work of grantees, engaged in dialogue around the Regen movement, and celebrated the achievements of fellow grantees. At ETH Denver 2024, I hosted a Web3 Climate Solutions panel at the REGEN Event hosted by Regen Network and Climate Coordination Network.\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/23a61858-622f-44fa-bb50-fa479a24078d/ETHDenverRegen.jfif?format=500w) \n\n \nAt the event, I collaborated with Tereza Bizkova on a [special podcast episode](https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-144-eth-denver-special-interviews-with-leaders-building-at-the-intersection-of-web3-regeneration) where we asked Regen leaders to answer one not-so-simple question: *What does Regen Mean to You?*\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/40739ed0-a81e-4a17-8859-f2f382006abc/CAPodcastRegen.jfif?format=500w)  \n\n\n\n**What’s Next**\n\nMy core focus is continuing to build Crypto Altruism into a platform that provides value to builders interested in leveraging blockchain for good. This includes consistently releasing new podcast episodes every Tuesday, as well as useful guides and articles exploring Web3 impact use cases.\n\nOver the next couple of months, we have plans to ship some exciting new initiatives, including:\n\n- A rebrand of Crypto Altruism and launch of our new website\n\n- The launch of the Web3 Changemaker Toolkit, a comprehensive toolkit for those interested in leveraging Web3 to grow their impact projects. The toolkit includes a 10-module course on different use cases, a series of case studies, ELI5 videos of core Web3 concepts, a resource library, and a self-serve tool to help nonprofits develop a Web3 strategy\n\n- The launch of a new podcast series in partnership with Octant called *Trailblazers of Octant*\n\n\n![enter image description here](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103d3eeea7a74ecd224670/e4d7ed0b-ed71-4afe-8265-147f4e0cb4e2/GG22-Toolkit.PNG?format=1000w) \n\nThank you for your time!
