What excites me the most about being part of the web3 community?

For me it has to be the versatility that comes from web3, coming into the web3 space has broadened my horizons. I’ve met with cool people, made friends and as well USDT :face_with_hand_over_mouth:. I remember getting my first job in the space. I was so excited and enthusiastic. I can’t even explain how I felt, but it’s been amazing so far. And yes, web3 is broad trust me so broad that it gets so overwhelming, and moreso it comes with its own hurdles just like every venture.

But then, the beauty about it is that, they’re never endless possibilities about the space. Everyday, each project and opportunity comes up giving you the chance to showcase your skills.

My advice to anyone still finding their feet in the space and to myself. Don’t be afraid to learn and experiment! Web3 is constantly evolving, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Start small, engage with the community such as Klever.

Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose, and prioritize self-custody and security. Most importantly, remember that web3 is about collaboration, not competition. Let’s build and grow together!

Hello Klever Community!

I’m Deborah Enyone Oni, and I’m based in Lagos, Nigeria, the heart of Africa’s tech and innovation hub.

What excites me most about Web3 is the decentralization and the empowerment of individuals which creates huge opportunitiesfor women thereby fostering women inclusion in the space. We’re moving from a world where a few control everything to one where everyone has a say and can truly own their assets. It’s a whole new frontier where innovation and collaboration drive progress, and it’s inspiring to witness how communities are reshaping the way we think about finance, ownership, and even governance.

I got into the Web3 space through my husband’s participation in the cryptocurrency space some years back. When I started in the Blockchain space, I realised the immutability, transparency and efficiency it offers for things like data security, contracts, data ownership, and its intersection with law, and it blew my mind. I started diving deeper, and before I knew it, I was down the rabbit hole, learning about DAOs, Dmart Contracts, DeFi, NFTs, Metaverse and everything in between. The idea that we could use technology to solve real-world problems in a decentralized way really sparked my passion, and I’ve been all in ever since.

A fun fact about me is that I’m a lawyer who absolutely loves tech. I combine my legal expertise with blockchain and the web 3, while learning, relearning and upskilling to be able to build real world solutions leveraging blockchain technology. I’m a huge advocate for women’s inclusion in tech, having empowered about 5,000 women to get into blockchain through my internship/mentorship program.

My biggest advice to the Klever community is: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Web3 is still new, and there’s so much to learn, but also so much to build. Whether you’re a developer, creator, or just curious, the best way to grow is by getting your hands dirty and staying open to change. The possibilities are endless, and the only way to find your path is by exploring and trying new things.

Right now, I’m really excited about DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). They have the capability of changing how we structure businesses, communities, and even governance in ways we cannot yet fully imagine. Also, the way smart contracts are evolving to streamline processes without needing intermediaries has me constantly thinking about how this can reshape the legal industry.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone in the community.

I am a Web3 front-end developer and UI/UX designer. Additionally, I work as a Community Manager and have a strong passion for community building and development.

What excites me most about Web3 is its decentralized nature. It’s a space where your value can help you stand out without struggle.

There are numerous opportunities available for anyone willing to engage actively and with a serious mindset, allowing them to transform their lives.

I was drawn to Web3 because of the growth and opportunities I recognized in the field, which prompted my transition from Web2 to Web3.

I began by taking classes to enhance my understanding of the industry, connecting with like-minded individuals, and actively participating in the community. I then applied my Web2 skills to the Web3 space, continuously working on self-improvement.

What initially attracted you to web3?

The idea of decentralization and owning my own data really sparked my interest. I started by diving into crypto in 2021, exploring how this tech can reshape finance and empower users globally.

If you could give one tip to the Klever community, what would it be?

Stay curious and keep learning! Web3 is evolving fast, and the best way to stay ahead is to embrace the new while also securing what you’ve already built.

I have been actively engaged in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space since 2016, when the potential for decentralized technologies first captured my attention. Over the years, I’ve built communities of over 5,000 members and trained thousands of newcomers through presentations and workshops across every state in Nigeria. My mission has been to simplify blockchain concepts, empowering individuals to embrace Web3 and explore the opportunities it offers.

Beyond my grassroots efforts, I am also a proud member of:

•	Cryptography Development Initiative of Nigeria (CDIN)
•	Risk Managers Association of Nigeria (RIMAN)
•	Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN)
•	Blockchain Experts Association of Nigeria (BEAN)
•	Fintech Association of Nigeria (FinTechNGR)

What Excites Me About Being Part of the Web3 Community

The Web3 space offers endless possibilities for empowerment and inclusion. What excites me most is how blockchain technology is reshaping finance, identity, and governance, giving people greater control over their assets and information. Being part of a global movement that is redefining trust and ownership through decentralization is inspiring, and the chance to contribute to solutions that address real-world challenges motivates me every day.

What Initially Attracted Me to Web3

When I first encountered cryptocurrency in 2016, I was drawn to its potential to disrupt traditional financial systems and promote financial inclusion. The idea of a borderless, transparent, and secure system fascinated me, especially in a region like Africa, where access to financial services can be limited. I saw blockchain technology as a way to bridge gaps, reduce inequalities, and create new economic opportunities.

How I Got Started in Web3

My Web3 journey began with a curiosity to understand how cryptocurrencies worked and their underlying technology. I immersed myself in research, joined early blockchain communities, and eventually took on leadership roles. As I gained knowledge, I became passionate about educating others and building vibrant communities where people could learn, collaborate, and grow. Since then, I’ve focused on training, mentoring, and auditing blockchain projects, always seeking ways to advance the adoption of Web3 in Nigeria and beyond.

Well, everyone seems to have said it all.
So for myself, back then in my department (electrical/electronics engineering) in tertiary, we had this group of guys who always wanted to do something new.

Initially it was about collaboration to getting into the world of cryptocurrency.
I remember how they used to talk alot about buying of coins for future use, i barely was interested in that, until 2017, when i went for my industrial training and there was this particular of our roommate twas always taking us out for a spoil :rofl:, until I started realizing that the guy was into some legal money making business.

Guess what twas? Cryptocurrency trading :laughing:
Man was making good money, and i trust me, the money was my first motivation, which eventually results in me getting to know how the whole stuff works.

In my space of learning, i started having flair for blockchain technology, so i read a lot about it and grew into blockchain marketing, which I started marketing for some projects.

Finally between 2021-2023, i have ground in the space, and then i realized that blockchain was far beyond the sphere of cryptocurrency, twas how I was opened into the Web3, i learn and grew in the same.

First partook in a Babylon Zealy Quest, was onboard as an ambassador, and twas how my web3 journey started, then i eventually was contributing and moderating for for some projects.
