Steven Vasilev and Dayton Mills, the founders of NFT and Web3, are part of the Forbes 30 Under 30 class of 2023. In 2022, this will be a huge win and highlight for the Web3 space.
As blockchain technology and the idea of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) become more popular around the world, a new type of entrepreneur is emerging: the Web3 builder. These young creators use web3 technologies and NFTs to make completely new digital experiences, including art, collectibles, games, fashion, and more.
In the past few years, NFTs have become very popular, with sales breaking records and more and more ways to use them. NFTs are used to represent and make money off of all kinds of digital assets, from virtual real estate to Web 3 games. And the Web3 builders are at the forefront of this movement. They use their technical skills and entrepreneurial spirit to push the limits of what is possible with NFTs.
Many of these young visionaries are now on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, which is a big deal because it shows how much they have done. These people come from different backgrounds and work in different fields, but they all love using technology to make something new and interesting.
