Episode 116 - Steward - bridging the natural and digital worlds with Web3

Crypto Altruism Podcast

In episode 116, we’re excited to welcome Maria Li, Co-Founder of Steward, a Web3 community that aims to create a bridge between the natural world and digital world. We discuss how Web3 tools can help individuals reconnect with nature, the concept of decentralization in natural ecosystems, driving philanthropic action with NFTs, inclusion in Web3, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

• Nature is the first truly decentralized system. Mycelium networks and Aspen networks serve as a great example of this and demonstrate the resilience that comes with a decentralized network.
• The natural and digital worlds have traditionally been viewed as separate, and sometimes even paradoxical. Web3 presents new opportunities to celebrate nature through art, community, and creating new mediums for individuals to connect with nature.
• New technological movements have traditionally been led by men and have excluded women and non-binary folks. In Web3, there is an opportunity to build a more inclusive ecosystem from the ground level and ensure that the space is representative.
