LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER Web3ecosystems was born out of a deep-rooted passion for advancing web3 education and fostering meaningful connections within the ever-evolving landscape of investments, contracts, and revenue generation activities.

Having facilitated over $500,000 worth of value through introductions in these spheres, I recognised the need for a systematic approach that would empower prospects to discover their ideal match in this complex digital ecosystem.

As someone with dyslexia, learning styles hold special significance to us. We are committed to creating a platform that caters to the diverse preferences and needs of individuals navigating the web3 space.

Our journey began with the establishment of a thriving UK ecosystem, boasting a robust network of over 70 companies. Our initial proof of concept was nothing short of remarkable, generating over 5000 impressions for these companies and accumulating more than 8 hours of view time on our informative infographics. (Page 9 and 10 of this magazine has the infographic spread) This is our proof of concept magazine. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Our v2 Magazine has interest from blockchains such as Base and countries such as Saudi Arabia. We are here to educate and inform through stories and content.

Thank you and welcome to your adventure into the web3 ecosystem.

Ali Datoo welcomed Sean with warm enthusiasm, setting a positive tone for their engaging conversation.

Sean, a seasoned expert with an impressive

His vision was to create a platform where clients could seamlessly navigate both financial landscapes Ali's curiosity then turned to the challenges Greengage aimed to tackle. Sean identified three key issues: the difficulty in establishing effective bank accounts for those in the crypto and Web 3 sectors, the need for credit options tailored to the dynamic nature of crypto businesses, and the desire to provide clients with a personalized, humancentered approach rather than standard product pitches.

Sean elaborated on Greengage's customercentric mission, emphasizing their commitment to serving the "base of the pyramid," including crypto companies, technology firms, and NFT shops.

“so much money is being drained out through the scams, the honest blockchain problems are missing out on that funding.”

- Abe & Greg founders of Fidesium

In a tale that began with an unlikely meeting, Greg and Abe embarked on a mission to reshape the cryptocurrency landscape. Greg's journey from Detroit to London was coloured with entrepreneurial endeavours, while Abe's 15-year tech background spanned across continents. Their paths converged at Fidesium, a company they cofounded to combat crypto scams and fraud.

Driven by their own encounters with deception, Fidesium's genesis was rooted in personal experiences.

Greg and Abe's shared mission was to create a safer environment for crypto traders, protecting them from scams and fraudulent activities that plagued the industry.

11

Fidesium's evolution was marked by a broadened vision. What initially started as a concept for a security extension quickly expanded to encompass risk analysis. The platform's purpose transformed from mere protection to offering real-time insights into potential transaction risks, backed by datadriven methodologies rather than outdated opinions.

Central to Fidesium's existence was the realsiation that the crypto space lacked comprehensive risk evaluation, a critical component found in traditional finance and insurance sectors.

Drawing from their expertise, the founders aimed to introduce a technical underwriter

score, leveraging data and algorithms for assessing transaction risks.

Fidesium's impact extended in two directions. First, the platform sought to shield individuals from scams through security extensions and research tools. Second, they recognized that scams were diverting funds from legitimate projects. By preventing scams, Fidesium indirectly supported genuine projects, allowing them to access the funding they deserved.

The heart of Fidesium's mission was transforming fear into confidence.

With market volatility inducing anxiety, the platform aimed to provide users with clear

risk scores and easily understandable information, empowering informed decisions in an uncertain landscape.

Remaining true to their belief in accessible security, Fidesium's consumer-facing tools were offered free of charge. Through their website, users could seamlessly engage with the security extension and research tools, making even the most cautious traders feel empowered.

Their story underscores the potential of innovative thinking and collaboration to reshape an industry, illustrating that dedication to transparency and empowerment can indeed rewrite the narrative of cryptocurrency trading.

REVOLUTIONISING REAL ESTATE WITH GUV In the bustling heart of London, Guv Kang's tale unfolds, an intricate narrative woven through the intricate tapestry of the property market.

With a legacy spanning fifteen years, Guv's journey embarks from the bustling streets to the labyrinthine world of property investment, where bricks and mortar become the vessels of dreams.

In a conversation with Ali Datoo, Guv Kang unveils the intricacies that have shaped his path. The London property market has been his playground, and he's worn many hats - from premier apartments to reselling, development to construction. Yet, within this complex realm, a pattern emerges - the skewing of property 17

prices in the UK. Guv Kang’s discerning eye has observed the fluctuations caused by interest rates and international investment.

The allure of UK properties, stable and attractive, has drawn international investors, leveraging currency fluctuations to make investments more favorable. However, this very allure poses hurdles for local investors who find the path to property ownership laden with barriers.

This realization, fostered by years on the streets of London, led to the inception of BrickTrade.

In a fusion of insight and innovation, Guv envisioned a solution to democratize property investment.

He recognized the challenge of substantial deposits, prolonged buying processes, and the illiquidity of the property market.

Brick Trade, an embodiment of his vision, emerged as a remedy. It grants accessibility to hundreds, allowing them to partake in collective investments that were once reserved for the wealthy elite and institutions. With investments starting from as low as a thousand pounds, Guv's brainchild opens a gateway to a previously exclusive realm.

The essence of Brick Trade lies in solving a twofold problem granting easy access to the property market and injecting liquidity into an

inherently illiquid field.

No longer are investors tied down by hefty deposits and cumbersome selling processes. Brick Trade not only simplifies the buying and selling of portions of properties but also provides a secondary market for liquidity.

Guv Kang's journey continues, as he navigates the regulatory waters, negotiating fractionalization and tokenization to enhance the investment process further. The promise of reduced transaction times, transforming months into seconds, ignites hope for a more agile and inclusive property market.
