Want to make an impact on the local level? My talk outlines methods for developing and sustaining vibrant local web3 communities to drive a Solarpunk future forward, focusing on local quadratic funding rounds, project incubation, and leveraging Web2 partnerships with already established partners like nonprofits. The goal is to create strong local economies within the web3 space, support grassroots projects, and bring together different technologies for mutual benefit. I'll use examples to show how these strategies can work in practice from my experience running a local node of the ReFi DAO in Colombia, offering takeaways for those looking to build or enhance web3 communities.
