Ty Haney on Women in Web3, Energy Audits, + I Must Ask: "Are we the wicked of web3?"
Women in Web3 - Issue #33
Welcome to Women in Web3! I’m Carly from Weld Recruiting and this is the 33rd edition of our weekly get-down!
This weekend I’m devouring Allen Au snippets:
(^^ Can you tell that there’s been a lot of life going on lately? *Just enough* to handle… but maybe a tad more than I’d like.)
As I sit here at the beginning of the witchiest month of the year, the only thing that keeps coming to mind is: Ain’t no rest for the wicked.
Are we the wicked of web3?
Less in the Cage The Elephant way. More in the excellent, wonderful sense of the word.
No matter what goes on, I see all of you in the space right now who are finding a way to still make strides each week. (Heck, you overflow this very newsletter with them.)
Even just 1% of improvement can be tough to manage sometimes, but alas, you never fail to work your magic and make it happen.
So cheers to be the wickedly awesome web3 witches you are – let’s see your supernatural powers this month and all you can bring to light within 30 days from now.
What are your intentions for October? Let me know and I’ll see how I can support you in making them happen!

📚 NFT Explained (Trying to make time to read these!)
Bringing back our definitions, this week from Maghan McDowell:
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, give digital items a unique digital identity, assigned via blockchain. This means digital items take on properties once relegated to physical goods, such as scarcity and unique ownership.
The first recorded sale of a fashion NFT was the iridescent dress created by The Fabricant and sold for the equivalent of $9,500 in May 2019. The first luxury brand entrant was Gucci’s Aria film, auctioned for $25,000 in May 2021.
