Introduction
Web3 is like the emerging kid on the block, changing how we use the internet. It's moving us from a world controlled by big companies to one where everyone can join in. Things like 'DeFi' and 'NFTs' show how exciting this can be.
But, like a rollercoaster, there are ups and downs. Recently, the crypto world hit a rough patch called a bear market. This made things hard for many new Web3 projects, and some folks lost their spark.
This is where 0xCamp steps in. It's not just another program; it's a big thumbs-up to the world of Web3. Even when times are tough, 0xCamp is on the lookout for cool new ideas that can make a difference.
AI has come on a super timing to speed up high-quality ideas for formidable startups.
