This week we are building in public. I'll share some updates on the vision and community objectives for True Stars and then will open the floor for feedback.

It’s really important to understand your members' biggest problem and how the community can solve them collectively.

So I am doing a little test. We are going to be asking the following questions:

🌟 What attracted you to this community?
🌟 What is your biggest problem or desire in web3 right now?
🌟 How are you currently dealing with this challenge?
🌟 How would you benefit from solving this problem?

We would also appreciate you filling out this form to collect responses:

Now is the time to get ready and steady to contend with the change to Daylight Savings Time coming up in just a couple of weeks. 

Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, changing the clocks can disrupt our natural rhythms and general harmony with the world around us. If you're an organizational leader, that means a LOT of unpredictability so it's even more important to remember your own #mindfulness needs and habits to get you through, and be able to support others.

Join Eric Hansel and me for the next Mindfulness in Motion LinkedIn Audio event this Friday, March 3 at 12noon Eastern/9am Pacific/5pm GMT. 

Hope to hear you there, and bring a friend!

ERC-4337 crypto wallets will onboard the next 1 billion users to web3.

Here's how it will help a normal user:

(in Simple words)

#erc4337 #web3 #blockchain #web3adoption 

Our #community is the best 
Thank you Nolan Ether for this 🌊🤿🌎

Eric Hansel made me cry 🥹. How’s that for a hook? 

I keep telling y’all, #metaverse and #web3 is not about the tech. 

Eric and his team at Scubaverse are a shining example of what this space is about — using this technology to create experiences that positively impact people and the world. 🌍

Scubaverse is on a mission to leverage local communities in island nations, to capture data that will be used to create digital twins of local ocean environments. 🦀🐠🐟🐙

The digital twins will then be used to create environments where people can use #generativeai to create unique creatures as #NFTs, explore the ocean, and earn rewards that not only help players in-game but also have a real-world impact.

So why did Eric Hansel make me cry? Well it was about 2 minutes into the presentation, as I watched Eric himself get overwhelmed by the work that his team is doing and the impact it could make on the world and future generations. 🥹

He’s a one of the most genuine and passionate individuals I’ve met in the #community and his emotion and vulnerability in that moment was so inspiring. 

The scope of this project is immense, but if there’s anyone who can do it, it’s Eric Hansel.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your journey, brother. 🙏

The approval of The High Seas Treaty puts the world on a path to achieving the 30/30 goals.🌊🌊

The 30/30 goal would see 30% of the planet saved for nature by 2030. 


“Ocean ecosystems produce half the oxygen we breathe, represent 95% of the planet’s biosphere and soak up carbon dioxide, as the world’s largest carbon sink. Yet until now, fragmented and loosely enforced rules governing the high seas have rendered this area more susceptible than coastal waters to exploitation.”

Frédéric Ramet Cris Cantolla Markus Krebsz 

#blueeconomy #digitaltwin #web3

As measures by individual states are not sufficient to conserve the high seas, the approval of the High Seas Treaty is a fundamental step in protecting high seas biodiversity and in making possible the global target of protecting 30% of the planet for nature by 2030 (known as 30x30). 
Kudos to all negotiators and civil society organizations that made the this possible!

The topic this week for The Founders Show  is “Building in Public”.

I’ll talk about how our #team  at The Scubaverse tries to balance needing to keep somethings to ourselves with the desire to build in public.

We have begun to work on a content and social media plan and are looking for #community  memebers who can help with #pr.

We will also talk about the focus of ours, which has been to create immersive and gamified digital twin environments for increased engagement. 

Thanks Emily Carrig  for cohosting this

Yesterday, Frédéric Ramet spoke on a panel about how GameFi could help meaningful change and impact projects. 

We talk about how to create real world impact that comes directly from gameplay and most importantly, how to make something that gamers will be drawn to.  

We can’t wait to start sharing some of what Cris Cantolla and his team have been developing.

How can GameFi help meaningful change and impact projects 🤔?

That was the topic discussed yesterday at the Web3StrongerTogether Summit. Thank you, Perello Laurent and Mattin Noblia for the panel and the great discussion with Shirelle N. Francis , PMP®, CEO-iLeap Group, LLC, MS Azure Service Provider, George Levy, CSBCP, GBP, and Carole Stromboni

GameFi started as an experiment (for the best and sometimes the worst). And has recently experienced a staggering -97% drop in monthly transactions, with less than 5% of projects still active. Only 14.5% percent of GameFi titles got more than 1,000 users! Despite this, GameFi is still seen as the next trend to onboard new users massively and receive heavy investments.

And yes GameFi is still a territory to be explored. 

Especially at a time when the NFT ecosystem is focusing more on utility than on aggressive customer acquisition, and when resilient teams keep building during the bear market. 

New positive and sustainable models are being designed, with two main challenges:
➡️ How to take the primitives of GameFi and use them for sustainable tokenomics?
➡️ How to use the web3 models for impact projects, such as fighting global warming?

For the primitives, what are the insights from the market?
👉 Gaming guilds and scholarships
They have been successful models with value shared between investors, managers, and players. Web3 infrastructure for transactions makes it easier to work together and get incentives for that.

👉 Leading games are card and text-based games (Splinterlands, Alien Worlds).
Game design, especially the meta-game mechanics and narrative, is the most important to drive engagement and retention.
   
For impact projects, the question is how to combine:
👉 A real-world impact that can be assessed.
👉 Sustainable tokenomics that can support the costs of operation and the share of meaningful value for users.

At The Scubaverse, with Eric Hansel and Cris Cantolla, we're thrilled to use these new models to build a game that is an engagement platform on marine conservation. 
Our vision is not about a blockchain game, but rather a data platform and a game that benefits from a web3 infrastructure.

Despite their importance for biodiversity, insects are often overlooked and are declining at an unprecedented rate. 

This infographic by Virginia R. Wagner (artist) illustrates the different threats  insects face globally.

Things have been quiet in The Scubaverse, but big things are going on behind the scenes



I hope that you will join Karen Hsu and I on Friday at 12 PM Eastern standard Time to continue this conversation about mindfulness and motion.

The time changes affect the way that you interact with the world around you? It’s been really nice to see this community grow into one of some regulars who continually show up.

It’s been really fun getting to do this with you, Karen.

Could Sea Grass restoration be one of the driving factors in saving #Island nations from disappearing forever?

For the first time ever, the World celebrate the #WorldSeagrassDay! 

And so it is with a lot of excitment that today we at IUCN are proud to annouce the launch of a very exciting new partnership made possible with the incredible and generous support of the Fonds français pour l'environnement mondial (FFEM) to accelerate seagrass conservation at scale in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region, in support of our governement partners from Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Comoros and Madagascar and in collaboration with our technical partners WIOMSA - Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association and the Nairobi Convention! 

This EUR 3 million contribution to the #GreatBlueWall initiative will play a critical role in helping the region in better understanding this critical ecosystem, delivering concrete actions and impact on the ground, hand-in-hand with our #BlueGuardians - local communities - and raise the awareness on the importance of its integration in national and regional strategies, commitments and initiatives, including in ambitious climate, conservation, restoration and blue economy agendas. 

It will also work in close synergy with our friends and partners at The Pew Charitable Trusts with whom we had annouced at COP27 last year our joint commitment to produce for the first time a regional map of this critical ecosystem for the WIO that will play a critical role in guiding action at all levels. 

As Jacques Cousteau once said, "People protect what they love, and they love what they know." 

So with this here comes another stone of the #GreatBlueWall coming into place! Now, onward to deliver action, action and even more action! 

And happy #WorldSeagrassDay to everyone!!!
