What a year 2022 has been for Polkastarter 
Through ups and downs, bumps in the road, and unforeseen challenges, we managed to stay the course and get sh*t done! How did we do that? With your support, help and push. Let’s quickly look back at what you propelled us to achieve:
- $POLS got listed on Kraken, which means we’re now listed in all of the top #3 exchanges: Binance, Coinbase and Kraken
- We hit +400K monthly platform visits
- +100 Web3 projects advised
- Partnered with Poolside Accelerator to empower Web3 founders to build, launch and scale their projects through a 12-week acceleration program.
- Created the Poolside Hub in Lisbon — a 12,000 square feet space with 5 coworking rooms, 3 event spaces, 2 restaurant areas and 2 terraces where the Web3 community can connect and launch ideas.
- Pumped out a steady stream of content to keep the community both engaged and informed with 115 articles published
- We hosted 25 podcast episodes featuring some of the most intriguing, influential and knowledgeable people in the Web3 space (you can binge-listen to the episodes on the Spotify Poolside channel during the holidays)
- The Polkastarter Gaming website went live to serve a community that’s passionate and thirsty for good quality content around Web3 gaming.
- Polkastarter Gaming launched the inaugural GAM3 Awards to recognise the best Web3 games across 16 categories. Spoiler alert: with +200K votes and +220K views, the event was a massive success, and we’ll be doing it every year.
