Top3 Web3 Products of the Week #10
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
We're expanding this newsletter community and the StartUpRoundUp platform every single week.
This week, we're starting video interviews with our past featured founders & product leaders, as well as new founders we're meeting, to get their insights and stories out to all our readers. We will handle the post-production of edited clips and footage as well, so all founders have to do is show up as their schedule allows them, to get brand new content ready-made for all their socials. At the end of the day, every emerging industry is built on the stories and relationships of its early adopters and builders. We'd like to do our part to highlight those stories. For the Web3 leaders who are interested, please feel free to schedule an intro call with me below or email us to schedule a time:
I'd also like to share this recent stance by our very own NFT Print Pro on the current state of the market. It's important to understand that the growth and development of this space rely on the quality and intention of its builders & community. Be the example you want to see.
Where there is profit, there is bound to be greed, but remember to honor the NFT Creators who rely on this technology for their future.
I’m talking about the 1/1 artists out there, not on the major brands launching collections for profit.
There’s plenty of innovation… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Now, let's get started with this week's Top3 Web3 Products!
Community Spotlight: Genuine Undead
In Genuine Undead, community is the utility.
Holding a Genuine Undead token grants membership to a one of a kind decentralized community. The utility is access to a collective of passionate and motivated creators, developers, investors, academics, collectors, innovators, thinkers, and leaders in the future of Web3.
As a community-led project, the value flows in the opposite direction of a typical “utility” NFT project. Individuals in the community are providing time, energy, skills and passion to enhance and propel the project forward. Instead of waiting for the next announcement, asking “wen?” Genuine Undead members are constantly creating, brainstorming and executing on innovative and genuine ways to add value to the original art collection. The community is the team.

Dakan
Revolutionizing the Collectibles Market with Phygital NFTs.
Industry: Decentralized Applications (dApps), NFT Marketplace
Dakan is harnessing the power of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and blockchain to create a semi-decentralized marketplace that transcends the limitations of traditional collecting. Dakan's unique approach enables collectors to securely store your physical treasures in their state-of-the-art vaults, while a digital counterpart, represented by a beautifully crafted piece of digital art, becomes your key to unlocking the Dakan ecosystem.
Dakan's founders are also active members of the Genuine Undead community.
Dakan and NFT Print Pro will be hosting a Twitter Space at 4pmEST on Wednesday, May 10. Please tune in to both Twitter pages on Wednesday to find out more about the future of Physical x Digital NFTs.
Dakan will also be holding an Ask Me Anything tomorrow, Tuesday May 10 @ 1pmEST, with our first community spotlight winner Cap3Collective. The project won $100K in Cap3's Season One competition.
