Web3 - A Disruptive Tool For Social Impact

Cryptocurrency is more than just an investment. Cryptocurrency, blockchain, and web3 are generational technologies that have the potential to change the world for the better. These ground-breaking technologies will positively disrupt nearly all aspects of our lives in the coming decades: the internet, our financial systems, supply chains, health care, and everything in between.

We are only just scratching the surface of the intersections between web3 and social good.

Crypto Altruism is the leading platform for content highlighting the social impact use cases of web3 and the extraordinary organizations and projects that are using this technology to change the world.
