World of Women joins Tezos to empower women in the digital economy.
World of Women (WoW), a pioneering force in digital art and NFTs, has announced its strategic move to join the Tezos ecosystem. This collaboration aims to accelerate gender parity across the Web3 space and create new opportunities for women in the evolving digital economy, according to Tezos Spotlight.
Empowering Women in the Digital Economy
Since its inception, WoW has been dedicated to building an inclusive future by addressing funding disparities and providing fair access to resources. Kathleen Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, emphasized that the transparent and decentralized nature of Tezos is crucial in empowering women within the digital ecosystem. “WoW building on Tezos offers hope for a future where women may be represented equally in a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable digital landscape,” she stated.
Addressing Gender Disparity in Web3
The move comes at a time when women are underrepresented in the Web3 workforce. According to Boston Consulting Group, women make up 37% of cryptocurrency holders but only 27% of the Web3 workforce and 13% of startup founding teams. WoW aims to bridge this gap by providing opportunities and support for women in the sector. Shannon Snow, COO of World of Women, remarked, “WoW aims to unite the collective power of women across Web3 and beyond and provide opportunities to further their impact at the forefront of art, tech, and culture.”
Technological Synergy with Tezos
WoW will leverage Tezos’ blockchain-enabled infrastructure to expand its reach. The organization plans to build on Etherlink, an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups technology. This will enable low-cost, reliable, and fast transactions. Thomas Olivier, CTO of WoW, highlighted the synergy between the two organizations, noting their shared origin stories and vision amidst a male-dominated space. “Now, we can combine the legacy of the WoW brand with the reliability of Tezos to build a novel economy for women to support women and propel their aspirations,” he said.
Future Prospects
By joining the Tezos ecosystem, WoW is set to offer women a platform to secure funding, support among peers, and access to various opportunities. This partnership is seen as a significant step towards achieving mass adoption of Web3 by ensuring women play a crucial role in shaping its inclusive future.
