Crypto Tech Women
The Crypto Tech Women Community is an NFT collection of 8,888 unique ERC-721 tokens stored on the Ethereum Blockchain. Each are unique and randomly generated consisting of 14 different traits and 140 different attributes.
That’s why we stand by 2 main premises which are empowering women to be on tech and join the tech movement, through the power of community and education; and supporting and highlighting women in tech to succeed in tech and become thought leaders in their field. Our mission is breaking the paradigm that only man can succeed in tech.
To accomplish these two premises we are empowering women by hosting Twitter spaces every Wednesday at 8:00 AM PST with a panel made of only women where we talk about a variety of topics highlighting their journey in the web3 space. The way we will leverage the power of education will be by creating an educational boot camp for a variety of topics related to the web3 space like learning solidity that our token holders will have exclusive access to and so much more to come.
