β Snippets to Send You on Your Way
β
π· Entry into the Web3 world: Our good friend Richard Patey talks to Hackernoon about his latest top story, and what he believes is the best entry point into the world of Web3.
β
π· Kraken report: Kraken, the crypto exchange, has released an extensive intelligence report on NFTs. Titled "Redefining Digital Scarcity" it covers the purpose of NFTS, their development, and how to participate in this sector. Instant access.
β
π· Biggest-ever fund loss in smart contracts: We thought the carnage was over for the popular decentralized DeFi staking protocol, Compound. It turns out that millions more than we thought are at risk. About $162 million is up for grabs after an upgrade went very wrong.
β
π· ShipHero accelerator program: ShipHero announced a new accelerator program for ECommerce startups looking to supercharge their businesses. Applications for the program are open.β
β
π· Dapper Labs buys virtual avatar startup Brud: Why would an NFT startup like Dapper purchase a business focused on community building? Because they're turning their attention towards another potentially sizable crypto opportunity: DAOs. A new division inside Dapper Labs called Dapper Collectives will focus on making DAOs more user-friendly and accessible to a new generation of crypto web users.
β
π· The "best and first institutional investor:" Dedicated pre-seed and
seed firm NFX has closed on fund 3 at $450 million, its largest seed fund to date. NFX plans to invest in 70-plus additional companies with this new fund, and will reserve around 50 percent for pro rata follow-on funding.
