Haptics DAO is the first of its kind DeFi Platform striving to overcome existing accessibility barriers in the transition from Web2 to Web3. True inclusion means access for all, regardless of any form of disability. #DeFiForAll.

A few months ago, @GarrethTigwell and I discussed Blockchain Accessibility & Research with @HapticsDAO . Read the paper led by our student researcher Nash Lyke https://t.co/kEwV06gwAy and watch our conversation: https://t.co/mdWu8Ol04L #accessibility #blockchain #cryptocurrency

📝 A note from the Haptics DAO substack.
❇ Intended for the blockchain and wider technology communities!

alternative text: "The wrong way is with overlays, plug-ins that show customisable website interfaces to disabled users, promising to help companies achieve accessibility without overhauling code. These interfaces often interfere with the technology blind people already use, and they do not prevent litigation."

🚨 Important Update for the Web3 & Blockchain Community 🚨

It has come to our attention that one of the major Web3 and blockchain related organizations in the space has updated their website to leverage an overlay widget.

It is our view at @HapticsDAO that these solutions not only do not succeed in their intended aims, but instead even increase accessibility issues for websites, web apps, and decentralized applications.

Haptics DAO is conducting a mixed-methods research study to assess the current state of accessibility within the realm of distributed ledger technology and blockchain.

🔬 Our study focuses on individuals who require web accessibility accommodations or use assistive technology. We have received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation’s Ecosystem Support Program (@EF_ESP) to further work on this initiative.

📊 By participating, you will be aiding us in identifying key areas for improvement, contributing to the development of universal design principles that cater to the needs of all users.

🔗 Haptics DAO is also a proud member of the @Chainlink ecosystem. Our goal is to help shape the landscape of web accessibility, ensuring technology serves everyone, regardless of physical limitations or assistive technology needs.

To be inclusive to everyone, we need to make sure that anyone who wishes to participate in the space has the ability to do so. Accessibility is multidimensional. Disability is along a spectrum. There are different needs for different groups that require specific accommodations.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is in 2 days!

For anyone in the Web3 and Blockchain space this is a good time to reflect on what we mean when use the term "accessible" for our decentralized applications (dapps). See below:
