Web3 is the next-generation Internet made possible by blockchain technology. If web1 = read-only and web2 = read-write, then web3 = read-write-own.

Many friends have asked me how to get started and stay up-to-date on web3. Here’s my running list of favorite web3 resources. I’ll also be putting together a series of blog posts soon with my own personal narrative for how I introduce and explain web3 to others.

Regular Reading

🗞 Pulse of Web3

Web3 is moving so fast, it can be overwhelming to stay abreast of everything. My favorite sources for keeping up:

• Decrypt - leading web3 news site (ie. TechCrunch, but for web3)
• TLDR Crypto - daily web3 / crypto email newsletter
• Milk Road - another daily web3 / crypto Substack newsletter
• Axios Crypto - approachable crypto newsletter for mainstream readers
• The Daily Ape - Telegram Channel with daily curated links to best web3 news, articles, threads
• a16z web3 weekly - weekly a16z Substack newsletter with curated reads
• Twitter - of course the best source of all for the unfiltered real-time pulse

🧵 Favorite Web3 Publications

It’s worth subscribing to these Substacks / Mirrors / Mediums for deeper pieces that make you think:

• Not Boring - Packy McCormick writes some of the best thought pieces on web3
• Polynya - leading blockchain giga-brain, all pieces also basically a must-read
