started early, let’s go! :)
so i’d promised myself that i was gonna learn a lot more web3 tools going into 2022.
not only is this helpful for me to understand what’s out there but it also helps me step through so that i can educate others. removing technobabble and reducing the steps to get into something, timing how long that took, giving an outcome of learning at the end of it, showing how it’s going to be of benefit “later on”
that’s the stuff that people always ask “i don’t know where to start with X”
what i love about the approach from rabbithole.gg is that they walk you through in a really thoughtful manner, the ui and ux are really clean, you need brightID for some of the quests and i’m sure later on you’ll need other projects to work with other quests — a really smart way to onboard people.
i’m not sure how they populate these “rooms” of if they have a community discord or a DAO team but i’m looking to get confirmed via one of these zoom call channels, it’s part of my achievements that i need to step through — i think any of these additional layers of “is this a real human” is a good start to get past a lot of the automated value steal spammers.
one thing i’ve noticed about the rabbithole.gg site so far is that they have it put together in such a way that you need to complete and learn about projects & skills to be able to do the quests — i really like that approach, it’s certainly great for me to learn and blog about, maybe in all of these web3 things i’ll find my vibe of things i like to play with — you know, find the frequency.
for instance right now on the skills you can. .
- become an active protocol governance participant
- master token swapping on layer2’s & side chains
- become verified and get your ENS name
- earn interest by lending out your assets
- a proof-of-human decentralised network (the brightid stuff i’m working through)
- learn how to become a defi treasury manager
all powerful skills to learn going into web3, kinda feels like the first years of looking at html and css but for decentralised tooling. I just hope i can find my flow in here somewhere because i got bored of learning css2 and barely touched on css3 as it was just overwhelm.
having these skills and these projects to work on means that when some of these chains has a paid quest for you to go on you have the skills to step through and do the task relatively easy — for instance recently they had an avalanche quest that paid out $24 — now forget the money for a moment but that’s a way in for someone to have some skin in the game to play with the chain and whatever utility that it gives you.
Also what i’ve noticed is that you get XP (experience) when you have completed these skills/projects and i presume that opens things up for blockchain projects coming in looking for certain people who have achieved certain levels.
I’ll update these post when i’ve stepped through the zoom call a little later today :)
update
jumped on a zoom call for the verification side, very straight forward, you need to be able to speak english and be able to be seen on a webcam. then someone walks you through what the service does, how to do password and social recovery and also to scan a code to add a person (first connection) it's pretty neat how it operates -- i was asked what my username was so that could be verified that i was the person that i had made a connection with.
seems a bug so far with the "achivement" for the connection part which i need to pass the id part for rabbithole, i joined the discord and will ask in the channel about it or connect again tomorrow to see if they can fix that for me or let me know what step i did not do properly. i did complete a number of achivements just by scanning the qr code in the zoom call -- kinda neat setup, could be really useful to get to know people on hive too if we implemented something similiar.
