Ah, the jolly spirit is starting to show! We can almost feel the smell of ginger cookies wafting through the air and the earthy smell of great ideas, ready to take root and bloom into something amazing in the TAIKAI Garden 💭
Okay, maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves, so let’s save the holiday cheer for later and recap what went down at LayerX in November!
LayerX
Vagelis Diamandis Behind the Handle
A long-time supporter of LayerX and a dedicated member of our community since nearly the beginning, Vagelis was the face Behind the Handle in November.
This series celebrates the amazing people who contribute to our community, and this time we got to know Vagelis, his journey into web3, and why he’s a relentless supporter of our community.
If you’d like to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you! Just send an email to patricia@layerx.xyz or send us a message via Discord.
Building the front end of web3…
Our Team Spotlight series was back, and in November we put Anderson Lando, Frontend developer at LayerX, in the hot seat!
One of the ways to make web3 accessible to everyone and not just techies is by putting the user at the center and prioritizing simplicity and intuitive user experiences. That is why the role of front-end developers like Anderson is so important for our ecosystem.
If you’d like to learn a bit about Anderson’s role in creating a great user experience for LayerX’s products, give his interview a go!
The LayerX team attended Devcon SEA
This month, our team flew across the world to Bangkok to attend the biggest Devcon conference yet! From the undeniable rebirth of DeFi to the confluence between AI and web3, Devcon stood as proof that the Ethereum community is growing and thriving.
The event also made it evident how crucial it is to improve the user experience (UX/UI) in order to make decentralized technology accessible to all, as well as how crucial non-technical roles like marketing and community building have become!
If you didn’t manage to meet us there, here’s LayerX’s full recap of the event 👇
Bepro
New Bepro AI Marketplace
November was a special month for Bepro because of the launch of the Bepro AI Marketplace!
The AI Marketplace’s purpose is to be a platform that connects AI builders with organizations in need of talent to deliver AI-powered solutions for web3. So, if you’re a builder looking to hone your skills in AI, build a portfolio, and earn crypto along the way, check out the tasks available in the AI Marketplace!
White labels matter in web3
When companies or DAOs look to provide complementary products or services to their existing ones, they sometimes struggle due to the lack of resources or know-how to create new software from the ground up.
In those situations, white labels offer a ready-to-use framework that saves time and resources, allowing businesses to launch web3 projects faster without building everything from scratch.
Curious to learn more about how white labels can streamline your DAO’s new launch?
TAIKAI
TAIKAI is now on Base
Following the deployment of $TKAI on Base, our listing on Uniswap, and soon the launch of the TAIKAI Garden, TAIKAI is now fully deployed on Base!
Just like TAIKAI, Base’s mission is to bring new people onchain, not only developers but also creators, artists, writers, and anyone with a vision for a decentralized future.
That is why we’ve joined forces, taking another major step to unlock the next wave of developments on our roadmap! 👀
There are a few changes to note, such as the deposit and withdrawal of $TKAI, the minting of PoPs, and some other updates you should be aware of.
