DMC Web3


Digital Maker Collective (DMC) Web3 meet weekly as a community of interest group to explore web3 creative opportunities for innovation and enterprise, as well as questioning impacts of mental health, high financial risks, ethics and general wellbeing issues.

DMC have been collaborating with Global Tech Advocates: Young Entrepreneurs founders Grace Owolade-Coombes and Femi Owolade-Coombes since 2017. Grace and Femi joined the DMC web3 community with an aim of developing a web3 event unconference, with the support of the DMC.

DMC are currently exploring Web3 ecosystems, including cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, decentralized autonomous organisations (DAOs) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). As we move towards a more decentralised web, and gain more control over the way we share and sell content, organise data and build Web3 communities, what are the real-world implications of this?
