Hello, everyone,

We hadnā€™t taken the time to introduce ourselves :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

We are Green Digital Guardians and we want to create the largest community of Digital Guardians on the planet :earth_americas:

Our purpose is to create the community of Digital Guardians of the Green Arks of the Planet, where new technologies such as Blockchain and NTFs will make it possible to lay the foundations of a decentralized, supportive, visionary and democratic model of environmental protection. :green_heart:

Our greatest strength and delight will be the millions of DGGuardians who will be able to monitor and protect the Green Arks. :guardsman:

Blockchain and NFT technology will in the future allow all members of the DGGuardians community to participate in decisions and deliberations involving the Green Arks. :balance_scale:

We invite you to learn more about the project on our social networks and to join our community.

Hi guys, we want to introduce Inkom, a Digital Asset Management Platform that helps people in Web2 to have Web3 investments in an easy, fast and secure way. Our platform seeks to democratize Web3 investments, allowing people to have assets from 1 USD. Through the smart contract we are working on, we want to give control of the resources to the owners, mitigating risk as much as possible. When people invest in our platform, we immediately convert the asset into a stable currency and offer opportunities such as liquid participation, real estate tokenization, validation nodes, among other investments.

Feel free to follow us on our social media channels.

Hello everyone,

Iā€™m delighted to be a part of this incredible platform, and Iā€™m excited to introduce myself. I am a creative director, community builder, and audio engineer based in Nigeria, with a passion for all things innovative and boundary-pushing.

Over the past two years, Iā€™ve been actively involved in the Web3 space, exploring its vast possibilities and collaborating with talented individuals. One of my proudest achievements has been founding APEX TRYBE, a decentralized record label that aims to revolutionize the music industry.

Being a community builder has been an incredible journey for me. I believe in the power of strong and supportive communities, and Iā€™ve had the privilege of fostering vibrant ecosystems where collaboration and growth flourish. Together, weā€™ve created engaging events, formed strategic partnerships, and shared valuable knowledge.

As an audio engineer, Iā€™ve been honing my skills to create captivating soundscapes that resonate with listeners on a deep level. Iā€™m passionate about pushing the boundaries of audio technology and creating immersive experiences that leave a lasting impact.

Iā€™m truly excited to connect and collaborate with all of you. Letā€™s embark on a journey together, leveraging the potential of Web3 to unlock new realms of creativity.

Looking forward to the exciting possibilities ahead,

Hi @CeloColombiano! I didnā€™t see this proposal before and I like it so much.

The crypto ecosystem in Medellin is growing in a special way and many communities are working towards this such as @events.hashhouse @refimedellin @dotlabs @platohedro @medellinblock @mercadonftarte and many more.

I believe that this panorama is very favorable for the development of a proposal of this type like the one made by @0xj4an for a stable currency linked to the Colombian Peso. From the legal issue, I see the validity and viability of the proposal. It is necessary to achieve greater adoption on a daily basis. What is not prohibited is allowed!
