Welcome to W3PN report time 🦿- we will cover activities across our community from the Prague Summit to the Hackathon use-case generator.
Ecosystem touch
We actively work on privacy advocacy across many verticals from delivering “l2beat for privacy” to events. Ecosystem thinking helps to understand our goals better.

This model will enable us to give back to contributors and scale effectively while maintaining our independence and neutrality.

Hackathon use-case generator
Many hackers come to hackathons without any ideas. Sometimes they build tools for fun, partially they are useless as further products. Why not solve this pain point?
Hackathon use-case generator will help to create hundreds of privacy-focused ideas to hack.

Academy
Have you witnessed that there’s no agnostic Privacy 101 course? We are currently delivering one: first curating existing content, & later making original W3PN content and lectures.
https://www.youtube.com/@Web3PrivacyNow/playlists
Aim: empower all with accessible and digestible knowledge - no matter how technical / experienced they are, this will be curated so to enable anyone to easily find and explore info at their own pace and based on their curiosity.
contributors: OddName, Mykola, PG
Privacy Landscape Map
Infographics helps to show scale of privacy market: +700 projects delivering privacy preserving techs - lets put them on the wall. It’s impressive.
contributors: Vika, Coinmandeer
Newsletter
When was the last time you checked how Coindesk or The Block are covering privacy? Majority of the news are doom&gloom or fundraising. We try to cover lack of privacy-focused news within our Newsletter.
But give us some time to find curator & make it a weekly activity.
