Creating a Web3 community brings people together to share ideas, collaborate on projects, and offer mutual support to build the future of the web.
They share common vision, values, and goals for the future of the web3 space. They collaborate, learn, and create using Web3 tools and platforms.
The first decentralized infrastructure needed in the Web3 space is a "COMMUNITY"
Web3 communities ranges from mere WhatsApp groups to DAOs.
WhatsApp groups are not truly web3 communities as they are owned and controlled by a single authority, and are not truly decentralized.
They are still useful to discuss a particular Web3 project or to share information about Web3.
DAO means Decentralized Autonomous Organization.
DAOs are the standard Web3 communities.
DAOs are run on blockchains and are governed by their members. This means that DAOs are not controlled by any central authority, and their decisions are made democratically by their members.
There are also other platforms suitable for web3 communites.
Discord: It is a popular chat platform mostly used by gamers, developers. It is decentralized and offers a number of features that are well-suited for Web3 communities, like voice chat, file sharing, and bots.
Telegram: Telegram is similar to Discord. It is also decentralized and used by a large variety of people.
