Summary
- We are in a critical window for governments and the public to understand crypto’s value.
- There is a need to tell clear stories of how this innovation has created a positive impact.
Crypto has created new access points for financial inclusion, streamlined processes, and given people more control over their creative outputs. It is enabling the operation of universal basic income funding and deployment mechanisms to combat poverty. Crypto and Web3 tooling are providing creators with greater control over their output, monetization, data, and audience engagement, through platforms such as Mirror.
Crypto has also been a first responder to global crises. A quarter of a billion dollars was raised nearly overnight to support war efforts in Ukraine and relief efforts in Turkey and Lebanon.The United Nations is piloting programs to deliver aid to refugees safer and faster.
To give the community a platform to amplify their stories of positive change, the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) is partnering with Crypto Research and Design Lab (CRADL). But, we need your help.
Share Your Crypto and Web3 Projects
This is an open call for stories of crypto products improving people’s lives across a range of uses, including humanitarian services, financial services, identity & security, creative control, climate, community development, and other topics. Projects that have decentralized infrastructure and Web3 tools across a number of verticals, such as DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain are all welcome.
What Are We Looking For in Submissions?
CCI’s selection process for reviewing submitted case studies focuses on three key themes:
- Impact: Use cases that create tangible economic, social, environmental or business impacts for people using or engaging with the project
- Community Specificity: Product offerings that addresses the needs of a specific community or socioeconomic group
- Inclusion: Tools and services that create new access to resources and opportunities in ways that do not currently exist.
How to Submit Your Crypto and Web3 Story
Anyone can submit and the hope is to help innovators gain exposure, feedback, and the opportunity to join the larger conversation around crypto and Web3.
We encourage you to share as many submissions as you feel relevant, as a project team member or as a nomination for CCI to reach out to.
To submit a project for consideration in our open call for case studies, readers will need to provide their name and contact information as the project leader in addition to a brief overview of the project and its goals.
They should also include any technologies used to develop the project such as blockchain technology, DeFi protocols, NFTs or decentralization technologies.
Along with this overview they can provide links to websites, videos or other resources related to the project.
Lastly they should include any evidence of outcomes or results that demonstrate that the project achieved its goals.

We look forward to hearing your stories and seeing how you are using crypto to demonstrate the potential of the Web3 ecosystem.
