Relentless Excellence On the Web3 Frontier
This is the Violet Verse: A token-gated community built on FLOW blockchain
Dear Readers,
I'm back from my brief writing hiatus, traveling through Europe, attending blockchain conferences, vacationing, and building my first Web3 product. Who knew a VR site would turn into a whole protocol?!
It is exciting, and you guys have a front-row seat! From editing the front page of the Huffington Post to writing strategy for The Onion, who knew I would be building crypto stuff in Miami?! It's been almost two years since I started writing this column on Substack, and the feedback I have received has been truly humbling and motivational. Thank you for every paid subscription, comment, like, and sharing of my content with your friends. Your support means so much to me, and that's why I've created: The Violet Verse.
The Violet Verse is a content lifestyle protocol where I'll share my thoughts on the latest happenings in the crypto space—including updates from conferences, new products from builders in the space, or even random musings about life as a woman in tech (and beyond).
It is an exciting time to be a part of this community, especially if you are a developer or entrepreneur looking to build something new. There is no better time to join us on this journey as we explore all things Web3!
