Episode 199 - Real-World Impact with Web3 - 10 Inspiring Blockchain Use Cases Driving Global Change

For episode 199, we’ve put together a special episode to celebrate as we near episode 200! This episode is a bit of a “starter pack” for Web3 social impact, highlighting 10 inspiring use cases leveraging blockchain to build a better world - from humanitarian aid and remittances, to regenerative finance and decentralized science.

This episode serves as a great overview of the many ways crypto rails can serve as the building blocks for a new era of social and environmental impact, while recognizing it is only the beginning!

You’ll learn:

1. How blockchain is powering humanitarian efforts, from emergency remittances to anticipatory action.
2. Why public goods, scientific research, open-source software, and even forests are being funded and protected onchain.
3. And how Web3 builders are rewriting the rules of what’s possible when it comes to social and environmental impact.

--Key Takeaways--

✅ Simplicity Drives Adoption: The most impactful Web3 projects are those that abstract away complexity. Whether it’s sending remittances or funding open-source software, success hinges on creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences that meet people where they are.

❤️ Doing Good, Made Easy (and Fun): From AutoPGF to gamified science and cost-saving remittances, blockchain is making it easier—and more enjoyable—for people to drive real-world impact. Web3 is unlocking new models that empower individuals to be part of the solution.

🌱 We’re Just Getting Started: This episode is only a small snapshot of what’s possible. The use cases we explored show that we’re still in the early days of blockchain for good—and the most exciting innovations are likely still to come.
