Pop Labs is a firm believer in communities being the sole driving force of the Web3 world. It is often the dedication and loyalty of the community that determines the success or failure of a project. But what exactly is it about Web3 that makes it so special? Why is Web3 such a big deal? This Pop Labs blog is all about exploring this question.

So what makes Web3 special? Is it because of its powerful and unique technology that gives us actual ownership of our work and assets or is it the limitless opportunities it provides to visionaries and entrepreneurs? Allow Pop Labs to explain why Web3 is so revolutionary.

Pops Labs' Take on the Power of Community

To begin Pop Labs would like to draw light on what Web3 has accomplished so far. So far, Web3 has opened infinite portals for all and gives everyone the opportunity to explore their dreams without the need for third parties. It removes barriers and allows us to connect directly without any external control. It offers more security and anonymity when compared to traditional web spaces as well.

Clearly, all this makes Web3 a big deal. Yet, this is not what makes it so profoundly endearing to the masses. Let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Years and years ago, little towns only had themselves to count on. They were self-sustained because they were a community. They took care of and provided for each other because of the strong community bond they shared. As the years flew by, the world became more globalized and commercialized.

Meanwhile, capitalism gave rise to the monetization of products and services. While it was amazing to see this growth in the sector, it also meant losing small businesses. Back then, businesses supported one another. This enabled the entire community to thrive as one.

Blockchains work on the same principle. Every blockchain is an ecosystem where thousands of dreamers come together to achieve their unique goals. They are usually driven by the ideology of simplifying many traditional processes for the public. Decentralizing finance and creating a leveled playing field for the entire world to build wealth is one of the most popular promises in this space. This is a core value that fuels Pop Labs.

Looking at the Change in Communities with Pop Labs

The changes we see from the past to where we are in Web3 and with Pop Labs now are all thanks to a constant human pursuit of happiness and convenience. First, we had small communities that had to choose from limited options. Then we entered an era where everything became available to us. So much so that competition led to a major gap between the quality of products and services. Along the way, trust was lost and integrity was almost forgotten. Pop Labs is bringing attention back to this fundamental aspect of community from the past via Web3 technology.

With Pop Labs Web3 technology, we have the ability to thrive in a space where both trust and community go hand in hand. By eliminating the middleman, blockchain technology allows us to interact directly with one another. Thereby building a trusted community where anonymity and accountability are guaranteed. Unlike real-world businesses where competition leads to hegemony, Pop Labs encourages collaboration.

Every blockchain is only as successful as its community. Projects often spend a lot of time choosing which blockchain they should begin their journey. After all, it is the active participation of the community that will ensure the success of the project. A strong community is guaranteed when the project puts them in the middle. Keeping the community feeling involved, happy, and satisfied is the best course of action for any Web3 project.

Pop Labs is the perfect platform for its ability to offer direct collaboration. Pop Labs' social media app for Web3 connects a decentralized community that sparks relevant ideas and further pushes the growth of the whole Web3 ecosystem. This is why crypto events such as Consensus are so important. Since 2015, CoinDesk has hosted its annual blockchain event where industry-related conversations take place.

Pop Labs at Consensus 2023

Pop Labs is thrilled to be sponsoring Consensus 2023, a community-driven event. Picture Comic Con, except, instead of comic and pop culture fans, it is an event that will cater to blockchain, crypto, and Web3 enthusiasts. Events are set up to fail without fans and believers. Can you imagine Comic Con without industry stars making an appearance?

Or better yet, let's put it the other way around. A convention can have huge names, but it will be a huge empty hall without the fans there to cheer them on and support their work. Similarly, crypto events are fueled by community members. They spread the word, they eagerly await announcements, and they expect to see true believers of Web3 technology show up and speak their truth.

Consensus is so globally revered, that Web3 projects from all over the world flock here to showcase their ideas and network with fellow blockchain believers. Pop Labs will be making an appearance at Consensus 2023 for all three days. We are thrilled to be sponsors of this annual event that hosts some of the most important industry-centric conversations. Come say hello and get your hands on some exclusive Pop Labs merch at Consensus 2023! We've got some exciting activities planned and special prizes in store for you.

Pop Labs will showcase the beta-testing version of its first official Web3 product - the Pop DApp. This product acts as a Web3 social media app. The Pop social media app for Web3 is crucial to preserving the rights of creator ownership and even rewards the time and devotion of content consumers. Pop Labs will be proud to present the Pop social media app for Web3 at Consensus 2023 for all visitors to test at the Consensus 2023 Pop Labs booth 659.
