Unstoppable Domains, the Web3 digital identity platform and NFT domain name provider with 2.4 million registered usernames, has teamed up with the City of Miami’s Venture Miami team in order “to accelerate its local Web3 education effort.”
Venture Miami hosted its “Miami for Everyone” Web3 education event from June 17-19, 2022 at Miami Dade College.
The event will “provide an inclusive and engaging environment for the community of Miami to learn about Web3, while giving skilled participants the opportunity to leverage their expertise to create social impact through Web3 and traditional technologies.”
Along with a full day of workshops catered towards people of all ages, levels, cultures, and skill sets, Miami for Everyone featured “a hackathon as well as networking opportunities.”
Each guest at “Miami for Everyone” reportedly received “a $50 credit towards a NFT domain courtesy of Unstoppable Domains.”
In English and Spanish sessions, Unstoppable Domains guided attendees through the process of “creating a wallet, claiming their NFT domain, and keeping their wallet safe.”
Attendees were “taught how NFT domains can act as their digital identity, unlocking exciting opportunities across Web3.”
Students at Miami Dade College also “have access to free NFT domains through Unstoppable Domains’ university partnership network.”
Sandy Carter, SVP and head of business development at Unstoppable Domains, stated:
“Unstoppable Domains is pleased to support the great city of Miami on its mission to become the most Web3 and crypto-friendly city in the world. We believe that access to free education and resources, including NFT domains, are key to unlocking the power of Web3 innovation and ownership.”
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez “assembled the Venture Miami team with the goal of making Miami the ‘capital of capital’ with an economy that focuses on innovation, technology, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Venture Miami “supports regional collaboration amongst other local governments, economic development agencies, and organizations.”
It also providers “support for founders, connects talent to jobs, and bridges connections between new-to-market technologies and the existing innovation ecosystem.”
Erick Gavin, Executive Director of Miami Ventures, remarked:
“We are excited to have partners like Unstoppable Domains offer greater accessibility into Web3 technologies, and look forward to the resources they will provide to our Miami Tech ecosystem.”
This is Unstoppable Domains’ “second ever city-wide domain giveaway.”
Recently, Unstoppable Domains partnered “with Access Abu Dhabi, an organization that supports the expansion of women and minority-led businesses, to offer free domains to more than one million women residing in the UAE capital.”
Founded in 2018, Unstoppable Domains is “an NFT domain name provider and digital identity platform working to onboard the world onto Web3.”
