SheFi May Community Update
SheFi NFTs, SheFi Brings Web3 to TradFi, & SheFi Summit
The Era of Participate-to-Earn NFTs

financial freedom is feminine
At SheFi, NFT Season is in full bloom! It’s a season to cultivate new ways of engagement, connection and experimentation. Experimentation with Web3 technologies is core to the SheFi experience, and I hope to continue to find innovative ways to encourage it in our community.
Why?
Experimentation is key to empowerment because it builds confidence.
Confidence is key to re-inventing yourself and the world around you.
Therefore, I am always asking myself:
“How can I continue to empower the SheFi community with Web3 native experiments?”
SheFi is not just about onboarding. It's about launching the next wave of women and non-binary contributors, entrepreneurs, builders and leaders in Web3. Empowerment is only possible through active experimentation because it's how we learn new things.
Therefore, I've designed SheFi's 13-week educational program to include a Web3 activity for members to complete every single week. However, I didn't have a mechanism to incentivize members to actually complete Web3 activities I assigned them.
Until now!
In partnership with the Metagame, SheFi recently launched Robo Nova NFTs! A novel Participate-to-Earn (P2E) collection that encourages experimenting and contributing to Web3. I believe these NFTs with real utility is a game-changer for empowering communities like SheFi.

How did it happen? My friend Brenner Spear, founder of Metagame, has developed a tool for showcasing onchain activities through NFTs. SheFi seemed like the perfect use case for this technology, and I immediately got excited about it. I reached out to Brenner, and we started working together with SheFi artist Alyssa Mae Tumlos to design and build the Robo Novas!

Now with the launch of Robo Novas, SheFi can encourage active Web3 participation through a gamified and FUN experience.
How does it work? Each Robo Nova comes with base traits that every member can unlock for joining SheFi. No two members can have the same combination of base traits, making each NFT truly unique and one-of-a-kind. New traits are unlocked with participation in the SheFi program and community.
Some examples of earned traits:
Minting the membership NFT on Polygon
Downloading their Coinbase Wallet
Swapping on a DEX like Uniswap
Posting on Lens Protocol
Collecting Mint Kudos
Voting in a JokeDAO race
Traits that are earned can then be used to unlock perks:
Tickets to high-profile Web3 events globally
Discounts on SheFi swag
Invites to exclusive SheFi masterminds

What I love most about Robo Novas on the Metagame is it creates real value for our community. Everything I implement for SheFi is focused on a magical members' experience. With Robo Novas, our members can certify their own Web3 and SheFi journey onchain, uniquely showing off their accomplishments and contributions.
We're focused on building out traits that encourage usage of Web3 protocols and participation in the Web3 community. If you are a protocol, DAO, or application that wants to build a Robo Nova trait, email maggie@shefi.org for ways to become one.

The chance to reinvent the Internet, value and our systems is what makes Web3 compelling. It’s also the driving force behind SheFi. SheFi’s not about onboarding to Web3, it’s about personal and collective reinvention. I had the chance to share this with Aubrey Strobel on The Aubservation. Watch the full episode below:
