WOMEN IN WEB3- HOW FAR WE HAVE COME

Women in Web3 are a common thing to see. There are several controversies as to what Web3 is, but the general idea is that it’s an advanced level of the internet based on decentralization, user ownership and blockchain technology.

A report shows that Web3 (inclusive of NFTs, DeFi, the Metaverse and digital asset projects) is becoming a bigger player in the professional circle with about 16% of the 3600+ respondents saying that they are workers in this sector.

The report also shows that the women in Web3 are more active and career-oriented than their male counterparts. And that about 27% of these professionals have been involved in starting up decentralized related projects and businesses.

African women are not left out in this as they are blazing trails in every facet of  the Web3 ecosystem.

It has been found that a small portion of projects being built in web3 and blockchain in general are founded and led by women, thus the creation of an informal community- Women in Web3.
