1/For many, the definition of "builder" is narrow. When many say builders, they mean devs.
I disagree.
To build a protocol that's sustainable, reputable and widely used, you need a team of more than devs.

If you look past the FUD, there are opportunities.
Plenty of room to arb and to buy+hodl to support protocols that you believe in.
The
@solana
builders community is also just as warm and supportive as ever. Crisis can bring people together.
And together we will (re)build 💪

From screening experts to helping prepare for train-the-trainer sessions... I worked closely with Aflatoun through each of the milestones.
This year, the curriculum was piloted in classrooms in Vietnam, Botswana, and a few months later, in El Salvador.
