Behind the evolution of the internet, known as web3, is a global community of individuals whose contributions redefine what it means to be a builder and innovator. 

The web3 ecosystem is not just limited to engineers, developers, investors, and product managers. It’s also an industry full of artists craving autonomy, entrepreneurs evangelizing financial freedom, and visionaries pursuing digital innovation. The essence of web3 is its people, though these people may not always have their voices heard. 

With web3 under threat from overzealous regulators, and as America approaches a critical electoral moment, Consensys’ Builder Stories sheds light on what web3 means for people across America.  

The Builder Stories by Consensys

The Builder Stories series by Consensys pays homage to this vibrant community by amplifying the voices of the builders driving web3's evolution. Each builder, no matter their role and background, contributes a unique tile to the mosaic of web3. Together, they expand our understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a web3 builder, while innovating big tech’s software models.

From the bustling streets of global tech hubs like Bangalore, to the quiet neighborhoods of London, millions of these builders are returning the internet to its decentralized roots: developing web3 apps and platforms that are designed by the people, for the people. 

It is important to highlight these intrepid leaders nationwide. Web3 is under threat from regulatory overreach and ordinary people are bearing the cost.

The Consensys Builder Stories series captures the essence of innovation and community by showcasing how web3 has become a beacon of global ingenuity, impact and reach. We celebrate each web3 builder, not only paying tribute to their invaluable contributions, but also inspiring the emergence of the next generation of builders. 

We are on the cusp of web3 that means so much to so many people. It is our sincere hope that policymakers will foster a regulatory environment to allow the decentralized future to prosper.  

Join us as we celebrate the community that makes web3 not just a technology, but a revolution of inclusion, innovation and human connection only made possible by decentralization. 

Together, we're shifting control.
