In a recent podcast, Dr. Kathryn Messegee, the founder of Geode blockchain, shared some exciting insights about the project and officially opened the 2024 airdrop to the world. The conversation, hosted by JChains on the Web3 Breakfast Club (https://youtu.be/2YfCl54IWQ0), revolved around the launch of the Geode Blockchain, its unique features, and the newly opened airdrop event.
Geode is not just another blockchain; it’s a layer one chain with a baseline set of apps built from day one. It includes utilities for everyone: a marketplace for direct buying and selling, a social app where advertisers pay users directly, and a resume app where users can register their intellectual property and work history. The Geode Blockchain aims to provide economic freedom by enabling direct transactions between users, eliminating the need for middlemen.
This approach is a game-changer in the blockchain world, where the focus is often on the technology rather than the people.
The newly opened airdrop event is another exciting aspect of the Geode project. Unlike many airdrops that reward past actions, Geode’s airdrop is designed to be forward-looking. Users are rewarded for performing tasks over the next six months. The airdrop is open to everyone, including US residents. The rewards are considered as payment for a job, thus avoiding legal and regulatory issues. The airdrop also includes referral bonuses, coin giveaways, and merch giveaways. There will be additional coin giveaways for the most supportive users on Geode social and the resume app.
Geode has big plans for the future. They plan to start their first VC round to fund marketing efforts, improve the user interface, and develop mobile apps. The long-term vision for Geode includes becoming an entry point for regular people to the entire internet of chains. In the next few years, they plan to preload Geode software on affordable phones, tablets, and nodes to make blockchain even more accessible.
Geode is also attracting third-party apps and projects from other major chains due to its open approach and supportive community. The conversation also touched on the current state of the crypto market, the potential impact of the FIT 21 bill on the crypto industry, and the importance of community in blockchain projects.
Dr. Kathryn compared the current web3 and crypto movement to the hippie movement of the late 60s, emphasizing the shared desire for freedom and liberty.
In conclusion, Geode is a promising project that aims to revolutionize the world by focusing on people and economic freedom. The newly opened airdrop event and future plans make it an exciting project to watch out for.
