🔴 The Big Whale launches a platform to map European web3 projects: The Ocean 🌊 Since our creation a year ago, our mission has been to provide our subscribers with the best information on the Web3 ecosystem But now the time has come to go further We're excited to announce the launch of our new mapping tool of European web3 projects! At the moment, it's difficult to quantify European web3 projects by country, hindering development and understanding of the phenomenon As a consequence, many quality projects have had a hard time getting traction and visibility making them unnoticed after a tough bear market That's why we decided to launch our map of European web3 projects From today, all European projects that wish to be featured can provide us with their information (name, activity, staff, technology used, fundraising ambitions...) and appear in The Big Whale's mapping After a vote from our 300 founding subscribers, each project that appears on the mapping will have the opportunity to pitch their project to our community (which already has 20,000 subscribers) and be visible with a fact sheet in a dedicated space within The Big Whale The form to appear on the mapping only takes a few minutes and is available below 👉 https://bit.ly/3LcWgsK So, if you're a European web3 project looking to gain more visibility and connect with a larger community, be sure to fill out the questionnaire today
