Day 14 of learning Web3
Today’s assignment was different.
Instead of learning about a Web3 concept, I had to design an onboarding process for new students entering the space.
Here’s how I’d onboard a complete beginner:
Step 1: Introduction to Web3
Learn the difference between Web1, Web2, and Web3, and understand the basics of blockchain technology.
Step 2: Wallet Setup
Create a wallet, understand seed phrases and private keys, and learn how digital asset ownership works.
Step 3: Understanding Cryptocurrency
Learn about Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, gas fees, and how blockchain transactions work.
Step 4: Exploring Web3 Sectors
Get introduced to DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, Gaming, SocialFi, and Infrastructure projects.
Step 5: Security and Scam Awareness
Learn how to identify phishing links, fake airdrops, wallet drainers, and common Web3 scams.
Step 6: Practical Experience
Connect a wallet to trusted dApps, explore governance systems, and interact with the Web3 ecosystem safely.
Most important safety rules:
• Never share your seed phrase
• Never share your private key
• Verify links before connecting your wallet
• Always research before investing
• Use only official project websites
My biggest takeaway:
The first lesson in Web3 is not how to make money.
The first lesson is how to stay safe.
Still learning one block at a time.
