We’re excited to invite you to join us this month in partnership with Bitget to learn how to trade smarter, come along, meet like-minded people, and be part of the movement.

Webinar Wednesdays

We’re excited to share the launch of Webinar Wednesdays, a new weekly education series bringing you free, practical Web3 and crypto sessions every Wednesday evening.

Powered by our incredible education sponsors Nexa, Stand With Crypto, Digital Surge, and Ethical Finance, this series is designed to help you build knowledge, stay safe, and grow your confidence in the digital economy.

Join us each week and keep learning.

Join us to hear from Josiah, Founder & CEO of DeStore, an Australian project building infrastructure for the circular economy using blockchain technology.

​In this session, Josiah will explain how products often lose their identity once they are sold, creating challenges for authentication, resale, and recycling. DeStore addresses this by issuing Digital Product Passports (DPPs) as on-chain tokens linked to physical products, enabling traceability throughout the entire product lifecycle.

​​Nexa demonstrates a live session exploring how Proof-of-Work works in modern blockchain infrastructure and how they approaches tokenomics, halving, and node participation.

​In the first part of the webinar, Danielle will break down the core terminology you need to understand before diving deeper including Layer 1 fundamentals, UTXO architecture, Proof-of-Work vs Proof-of-Stake, decentralisation, the blockchain trilemma, and how network incentives function.

​In this session, we explore how blockchain and real estate are being combined across the Web3 ecosystem and clarify what “property on-chain” really means in practice.

​We begin with a practical overview of the different ways projects are using blockchain in property markets, including tokenised ownership models, fractional participation, and property-backed coordination systems.

​In a digital world where scams are becoming more sophisticated and increasingly difficult to detect, understanding how to protect yourself online is essential.This education-first webinar will explore the most common crypto scams affecting participants today, including phishing attempts, impersonation tactics, and social engineering strategies.

We’ll discuss how scammers create urgency and emotional pressure, the importance of safeguarding your private keys and seed phrases, and practical steps you can take to verify platforms and communications before taking action.
