About

The International Media Nodes (IMN) link is an innovative, comprehensive Public Goods Project that aims to bridge the gap between diverse cultures and the crypto space. Through its extensive content creation and incubator programs, we have been a driving force in empowering individuals worldwide to embrace crypto and #gobankless. 🌐🌱

Multi-lingual Web3 Content Creation

We take pride in producing high-quality free content in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for a global audience. With a team of over 50 dedicated contributors, the project generates educational materials, newsletters, podcasts, and videos that cover a wide range of topics related to crypto. These resources provide beginners with a solid foundation in understanding crypto, DeFi, ReFi, DAOs and more.

Our content produces over 20,000 views each month and we currently support the following languages:

Chinese. Hindi, Bengali, German, Japanese, Turkish, Malayalam, Korean, Ukrainian, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Hungarian

Incubator Programs

Beyond content creation, IMN serves as an incubator for aspiring global multi-lingual DAOs. The project fosters an environment where individuals with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds can leverage their expertise to independently onboard people to crypto through education in their own languages. By providing guidance and support, IMN nurtures these emerging communities and equips them with the tools needed to thrive independently.

Successes and Spin-offs

Over its successful two-year journey, IMN has achieved remarkable milestones. One notable accomplishment is the creation of independent communities within Latin America. Bankless Brasil and Nacion Bankless/Bankless in Spanish are two spin-off communities that have emerged from IMN. These communities embody the vision and values of the Bankless mission, focusing on empowering individuals within their respective regions to understand and use crypto in their everyday lives.

These spin-offs demonstrate IMN's effectiveness in enabling newbies to participate in DAO governance, access independent funding opportunities and connect with local communities. By offering guidance and fostering self-sustainability, the IMN has played a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of crypto and blockchain technology worldwide. 🚀🌐💼

With its commitment to inclusivity, education, and community building, IMN continues to make significant strides in empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to embrace the world of crypto and contribute to the broader crypto ecosystem. 🌍💡💪

Key challenges:

Limited Funding opportunities for Non-English Speaking Communities💰🌍🚫

The majority of venture funding in the crypto industry is primarily available to English-speaking projects based in the West. This creates a significant barrier for non-English speaking communities to secure funding for building their own DAOs, contribute to the crypto ecosystem and #gobankless.

Language Barrier in Crypto Adoption🗣️🌍🚧

Crypto-related resources, platforms, and terminology are predominantly in English. This language barrier poses a substantial obstacle to global crypto adoption, as a vast majority of the world's population does not have a strong grasp of the English language.
