Web3Chennai

expanding the web3 ecosystem in Chennai & TN 🚀

we’re a bit lazy when it comes to tweeting 🥲

onboarding devs to web3 for the ethos - not for the crypto 🥳

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

Over the past year:

We stopped doing sponsored-for-the-sake-of-it events.

If we like the tech, we’ll do an event, then ask for support. Not the other way around.

Don’t pay us to talk. Make your tech worth talking about.

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

@nicksvyaznoy @web3privacy happy to host one in Chennai, any day 🥳

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

“check if anyone still actually building serious stuff on web3, ask them to DM”

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

we had a great time yday discussing everything related to x402 starting with http protocols and venturing into why 8004 and 3009 make sense for the new internet payments with agents and stables leading the way

@sksudharsanan handled the session really well with demos and queries

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

we are hosting a simple x402 meetup just to talk about the tech and to explore on what we can build on it, nothing much 🥲🙏

@abhiraj_2404 thanks 🙏 share some demo

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

too much content on x402, share repos pls :(

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

@sathish_kumarde we have too many people building on web3 in Chennai and we have done too many meetups too in the last 3 years, and this year too.

Our next meetup will be posted here on Twitter itself

Happy to help with anything web3, DM :)

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

had an amazing day at REC last week 🎉 inaugurated the "blockchain innovation club"

this is our 3rd time at REC in the last 2 years 🥳 onboarding students, helping them build & supporting their club initiatives

it's inspiring to see the energy they bring to push web3 forward 🚀

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

we are pausing college workshops for now, shifting focus to building real things 👷‍♂️

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

@sathish_kumarde Yes

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

decentralization wasn’t meant to get government approval🤦‍♂️ fiat now has a blockchain 💸 and everyone clapping 👏 like it’s innovation calling it "bringing india onchain" 🤣

[Crypto India @CryptooIndia]

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇳 India Govt does not encourage cryptocurrencies without sovereign or asset backing.

India will introduce an RBI-backed digital currency, similar to US stablecoins, to replace normal currency.

– Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

@SabariHDev Agreed, you don't have to teach tech and maths to your dad, narrate the story "why Bitcoin came into existence, the reason"

It's that simple 🥳

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

@SabariHDev we didn’t build blockchain to recreate the bank, we built it to escape one 🤑

time to read the whitepaper https://t.co/VQngicIc7I

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

web3 needs to stop doing sponsored events

so to avoid bad players

do event coz of tech & ask for support

or else do donations based conf like @protocol_berg

or grants based stuff, verify the milestone done and do the remuneration

but no ppl or entities will agree to this 🤮

[Akash @akashneelesh]

this tweet is for all the chains and communities out there so that you’re aware of what kinda cheap guy @apoorav_vyas is, to all those who have been working with or have worked with and everyone.

this part of the tweet is based on my personal experience

> I was taken into the police station for this mfrs whole shit hole at a point where the police was going to put out an FIR on me and had to be in the station for close to 1hr.

> bcz of this mfr I had to handle his shit of arguing and almost got on to fight with his random friend who he calls “the gundas”.

> bcz of this mfr i along with the devs were kicked out of the villa due to all the lies that he had conveyed to the land owners, lied to us, the devs, and did some huge as commercial event type of shit at a residential area without any permission and told the owners that it was a charity event.
Which he clearly had no fucking permission for while he told us he had everything sorted and had everything.

> bcz of this mfr our (mine, the devs, everyone who was present) mental peace was fucked where every other day he had an issue internally amongst his so called “gunda friends” and his issues had to be sorted on a public space among with the devs.

> dude has always been inflating prices and everyday comes with a new problem that has to be with a new price tag.

> dude has been going around saying that he’s the Starknet India lead and that he’s hiring a team for him and that the starknet team approached him and the job was offered by the starknet team itself. (Kuch bhi)

> this mfr has been going around and asking stake in others companies.

> this mfr has been asking for 10% commission on projects that receive a grant.

> im ngl this guy is the biggest con artist that ive ever seen, he’s the type of guy who says things that u like to hear, and does it on both the sides and then plays his own game. And plays the very old VICTIM CARD.

> fakes his age dude says he’s 19 or 20 in actual he’s 23/24 the reason is, he wants people to have some sympathy on him and talk about him in a way where people say “look what he’s been able to achieve in this small age”.

> calling developers who were at the outpost as cheap labors and making fun of their backgrounds.

so what did we do about this ?

During the day of the whole police stuff at the same time we were getting kicked out of the space due to this mfr.

(That’s when all of the above and most of the stuffs that I was not aware off was spilled out)

There was just 2 priority for me personally.

> Apologize for all the shithole tht, this mfr has brought everyone in bcz he’s not gonna do that.

> Ensure everyone’s safety is upheld so either close curtains bring everything down or book a new space for everyone and ensure that none of others energy and time that has gone into building their products is gone to waste and are in a much much much safer environment and are away from all of this shit

The devs were beside supporting throughout this whole stuff and said fuck it, no matter what we ll stay in support and build our products.
While they cud have easily said “fuck off i dint sign up for this shit” and things would have wrapped down during that day.

Well that’s what made this whole outpost much more stronger, even after all of this they chose to stay intact and work on the final goal (demo day).

(Thread down based on DD and others experience)

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

we just wrapped up our 40th college one day hands-on workshop at CEG, Anna Univ Guindy 🎉

nearly 100 students turned up on a sunday morning not for marks or credits but just for the joy of learning & building

it’s incredible to see this kind of raw coding spirit from students

@SuhailKakar glad, we no longer do that

https://t.co/vMHjjNJg0m

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

We also cut off all community partnerships a year ago.

No badge exchanges. No hollow collabs.

We only care about one thing:

Are people actually building?

If yes, we’re in. If not, we pass.

[Web3Chennai @Web3Chennai]

we kicked off with why to build on @solana & discussed rollups and ER rollups architecture with @magicblock

also showed a live demo of a few Magic builds along with live code and integration to solana programs

huge thanks to @samdivyakumar @hasifdev @Sandhika23 for the talks 🚀
