Web3Summit: web3 boom on WebSummit 2022
More than a week passed already, but we’re still excited about our first WebSummit:
- 70k+ attendees,
- 100km+ walked by feet
- 20+ meetings attended
- 300+ people connected to (only based on WS app connections)
- 15 hotdogs eaten (oops, I think I should stop at this point 😄)
As you know, Contora.ai — alternative data platform for the crypto/web3 industry. And after we experienced all of the above, we once again made sure that we’re following the right path since cryptocurrency and blockchain took almost a central role in WebSummit 2022.
We started to realize that crypto is going crazy this year even before the event— almost 1/3 of all side-events were related to crypto/web3!
After that, CZ, CEO of Binance, performed his speech at the Opening Night of WebSummit in front of the whole crowd — he’s unpacked Binance’s $500m investment into Twitter, and his long-term view on crypto and blockchain.
Despite the crypto winter, builders didn’t hesitate to present themselves at the world’s largest tech conference as: DeFi, crypto trading tools, web3 games, NFTs, and so on. The huge share of startups attracted attendees screaming such words on their booths.
Dedicated space MoneyConf/Crypto also gathered lots of enthusiasts around it by inviting top speakers from OpenSea, CoinDesk, Bloomberg, Near, Blockchain.com, Chainalysis, Cardano, YugaLabs, and more.
The chief editor of Forbes.ua, Borys Davydenko, concluded that Web3 was the main word on WebSummit-2022. That’s a clear signal about cryptocurrency and blockchain’s rapidly increasing impact on the global technology ecosystem.
But don’t be afraid of this “web3” word, Contora’s got your back from the data perspective! We have been collecting data for web3 and crypto projects for 1.5 years, and can be useful for:
- For Web3 companies/startups and hiring agencies — We analyze Web2 and Web3 platforms to identify top potential hires via their proof of work. We already have the biggest database of web3 engineers and developers (40,000+) with valuable data points on each of them (work experience, skills, number of commits, and even social activity and involvement).
- For VCs and Growth funds — Using our data, you can easily identify new fast-growing startups in your segment/according to your criteria — those that are being actively developed, discussed on social networks, and gained an audience on social networks recently. Also, we can score startup founders from 0 to 100 scale based on their education and experience, which allows choosing the best ones only.
- For Hedge funds and institutional players — currently we track 7,400 crypto assets, mostly social and technology-related data. We track 4 social media platforms (Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Telegram) — the sentiment of ticker mentions, number of ticker mentions, number of followers, and also Github development activity.
Here are some of our Medium stories where you can see how this data can be utilized:
- Top crypto projects by technology development
- Is it possible to predict the price of a crypto project based on its social buzz?
- Analyzing top Polkadot ecosystem tokens: Moonbeam and Moonriver
We were looking for partnerships on WebSummit, and we found them! In total, we started to communicate closely with about 20 companies, and several of them will definitely grow into large partnerships and new projects based on our data. Feel free to contact us if you find some of our use cases valuable, and we’ll happily discuss possible ways of cooperation. Let’s make web3 more accessible together!
