Thirdweb announces $24m Series A led by Haun Ventures

Thirdweb has created a development toolkit to make it easier to build and launch web3 products such as blockchain games, NFTs, DAOs, marketplaces and more.

Thirdweb’s tools helps companies build what are called web3 apps more easily.  Web3 at this stage is essentially an idea that the world will be connected via smart contracts, decentralized finance, and independent actors.  Color me skeptical, but I am calling it out here because Shopify is an investor.  I jumped down the web3 rabbit hole last year and sorry to say that I found 95% scams and grift.

My take on this is that Shopify has much bigger fish to fry at the moment with its logistics investments.  But this is an investment and not a Shopify product, so just hope Tobi isn’t thinking about this too hard.
