(I’m still yet to finish this because I have been at the hospital for a while…. I will edit it completely by Saturday so if my work can be examined anytime from there I’d be so grateful to the judges.)

I’ve often asked myself a simple question.

If I were starting Web3 today from scratch, with no audience, no connections, and no prior experience, what would I actually need to know?

The real things that help you show up, stay consistent, and slowly find your place.

This playbook is my answer to that question.

I’m writing it not just for myself, but for anyone curious about Web3, Solana, and the communities around it.

Students, creators, designers, developers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit.

Getting started can feel overwhelming. Opinions move fast. Timelines move even faster.

This guide focuses on practical steps, from setting up your online presence to engaging thoughtfully and staying consistent without burning out. Each section covers one idea at a time, with examples you can always come back to.
