Build Back Stronger

By now, it should be impossible to ignore what is likely the biggest collapse the crypto space has seen in its recent history.

The cryptocurrencies Luna and the algorithmic stablecoin, terraUSD (UST), saw billions in its total market cap value wiped out over the past week, shortly after UST failed to defend its peg against the US Dollar. Retail traders, venture capital firms and builders were all hit hard by this colossal failure.

While many have been quick to blame the core team for ignoring the warning signs of potential design faults, we at Spartan believe that it is just as important; at least right now, to focus on doing our part in helping to rebuild the space while uplifting those who might need a little extra support.

“Through the lows and the losses, know that there will always be others here to shine a light, guiding you through the stormiest of seas.”

Spartan now stands ready to support the industry by tapping into our network of partners, seeking out positions and placements for those who were impacted by the past week’s events.

“Build Back Stronger” is an open community initiative and a call-to-arms for all crypto and Web3 professionals who love to build.

If you or someone you know of will need some help getting back on your feet, please fill up this job-matching Google Form that we will be sharing with our network of organizations, including Nansen, BitDAO and others which we will announce in the coming days.

In addition, feel free to follow us on Twitter for more updates on this initiative and for further enquiries, our DMs are open to all.

For organizations and partners looking to join this initiative, do contact us at externalpartners@spartangroup.io and title your email <Re: Build Back Stronger>.

In this time and space, our differences matter less than the need and desire to band together to rebuild, empower and support those impacted by the past week’s events.

Join us in ensuring that those who love to build will get to build again and that this space will emerge from this week together, stronger than before.

LFB! 💪
