POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In 2025, @Web3DC and Web3 Maryland solidified their position as the leading Web3 ecosystem platforms in the Mid-Atlantic, operating at the intersection of startups, capital, policy, education, and community.

The platforms evolved beyond events into ecosystem infrastructure—driving deal flow, talent pipelines, advocacy, and real-world Web3 adoption.

This year through Web3DC and Web3 Maryland, we:
• Convened founders, investors, policymakers, and students
• Produced institutional-grade Web3 events and panels @dcstartupweek
• Advanced crypto advocacy and digital finance education
• Built student-first pipelines and early-stage founder access @blockchain.umd
• Laid the foundation for venture, incubation @BitAngels

Web3DC continues to grow as the “Capitol of Crypto”—where policy, capital, and innovation intersect.

Web3 Maryland is building the statewide pipeline—education, advocacy, and talent powering the next generation of Web3 leaders.

Thank you Washington D.C. 🏛️ for showing support in the recent screening of Bitcoin Mining documentary, @dirty_coin_official 🎥 . We are the backbone that supports the digital movement in the nations capital.

From start to finish, the film challenged the status quo by showcasing the variety of ongoing ways in which villages, cities, and countries around the world are utilizing bitcoin “dirty” energy, to empower communities while solving real life challenges.

Director @alanamediavilla perfectly showecased diverse perspectives and use cases. Whether is solar, waste, hydro, thermal; each process has its unique characteristics that can make significant impact towards current climate and energy 🔋challenges worldwide 🌍

It was an immense pleasure to be a sponsor & moderator on this event.

Exploring the boundless possibilities of crypto at the heart of innovation, and Capitol of Crypto.

Last Friday, we delved into 'Off Chains' conversations with regional associations to discuss our ground efforts and and combine our skill sets. We are creating stronger bonds, united by blockchain.

Thank you @prblockchain for uniting us on these efforts. Great appreciation to the incredible sponsors Darma Capital, HoriZen Labs , and the Blockchain Association.

Thank you Commissioner Peirce for being a strong voice of support .

We are propelling into a better world ! 🚀 #CryptoInnovation #OffChainsConvo #blockchainrevolution taken in Washington D. C. by @web3dc

📲 Phones were out, contacts were being saved, and conversations gave us plenty to follow up on at our exclusive #dcstw26 speaker sponsor partner happy hour! 🍸

The community said it best: “People weren’t just swapping business cards; they were genuinely showing up for each other.” Another attendee described DCSTW as “a massive ecosystem that actively supports each other’s growth.”

Thank you to our host sponsor, @versusequity, for the incredible rooftop views and Capitol Hill vibes that set the scene for a fantastic evening!

That’s the energy we’re bringing into a week of learning, pitches, and opportunities to find capital, customers, and resources.

18K resolution. Decentralized GPUs. Shared compute. Limitless creativity . An expanding supply of intelligence.

Last night, the @generative_series : Creative Rights Salon brought together artists, technologists, policy leaders, legal minds, and builders for a invitation only discussion at the Grand Monument Suite @thelinehotel for a conversation on intellectual property in the age of AI.

Who owns AI-generated work?
Can an artist own their style?
What about their voice or likeness?
Where does inspiration end and infringement begin?
How do we protect creators without restricting the next generation of creativity?

The room included leaders working directly at these intersections:

Mark Gray — Senior Counsel at @openai and former Assistant General Counsel at the U.S. Copyright Office

Michelle Lopes Maldonado — Associate Director of AI Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation @ITIF

@sandro_keresa — Founder & Chief Creative Officer of @artechouse

Kevin Bankston — Georgetown Law Adjunct Professor of AI & Copyright and Senior AI Governance Advisor at the Center for Democracy & Technology

We are entering an era of decentralized compute, shared GPU infrastructure, increasingly capable intelligence, and entirely new creative tools.

AI × Art × IP

The compute is scaling.
The intelligence is scaling.
The imagination is limitless.

Now we have to decide how creativity, ownership, and humans rights scale with it.

Thank you @nihalism for the invitation.

✨ SHARE YOUR LIGHT | NOLA BALTIMORE
Today, we're shining a light on @hillbirdtoe . 💡
We caught up with Gilberto at Tech in the Hut #3, MedTech & Healthcare night at NOLA Seafood & Spirits, to ask one simple question:
How do you share your light?
Baltimore's tech community is full of people building something for this city, and nights like this put them in the same room. 🩺⚙️
This is Share Your Light, an @illuminatebaltimore series powered by Majestic Light.
✨ Baltimore shines brighter when we share our light.

Tech in the Hut #3 last night, MedTech & Healthcare edition 🎬

Packed room at NOLA and conversations that kept going long after the mic went down. Venture for T.H.E.M., Baltimore Tech Meetup, and Tech & Culture Lab all came through, and the current Techstars cohort made an appearance too. You could watch Baltimore's tech community get a little more connected with every handshake 🩺⚙️

Big thank you to Julian Coy for helping shape the theme of this one. The MedTech focus brought the right people into the room 🙏🏾

Daniel Kai keeps leading this charge, and the city keeps showing up for it. Two weeks until the next one and we're already ready 🔥

This weekend at Fiesta DC, Web3DC joined the celebration to educate our Latino community about digital assets, in Español.

We talked with families about wallets, online safety, scams, remittances, and the opportunities these tools may create. These conversations matter. Our community deserves clear information and a voice in decisions that shape the future of finance.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and learned with us. The work continues beyond the festival.

Visit standwithcrypto.org to get involved. Make a plan to vote, learn where candidates stand, and take action on the issues that matter to you.

Come learn by doing.

I’ll always be a student, and it’s an honor to be an educator.

🗓️ October 16, 12–6PM

1inch is bringing “Groundwork”, a one day forum where we are going to learn, discuss, and get hands on together on the systems we are going to inherit.

Tokenization, prediction markets, agentic finance, policy and more.

I’ll be leading a DeFi education roundtable alongside Tanner Moore (three hands-on sessions) 1pm, 3pm, 5pm.

We’ll create a wallet, look at what it means to hold a digital asset and make an onchain transaction, then complete a first swap together.

I’d love to see students, university professors, government leaders, and community members in the room. Come with questions. If you’re new to DeFi, this is for you.
