How to get funding for any Web3 project

@mattigags wrote a hilarious post on how to raise VC money in Web3. Who says VC’s don’t have a sense of humor?
Our favorite quote:
Any hard questions should be answered with: “We let the community solve the problem.”
Well now you have the blueprint to raise. What are you waiting for?
DefiLlama releases APY dashboard
DefiLlama released a cool APY dashboard so you can keep track of constantly changing DeFi yields.
Anchor is still offering 18.10% APY. Given the events surrounding Luna and UST this could change.
We've released our APY dashboard!
- Tracking ~7k pools across 24 chains.
- Machine Learning to predict APY stability
- Historical APY charts
- Fully open source, to list a new protocol just make a PR to github.com/DefiLlama/yiel…Check it out on defillama.com/yields

Music to our ears?

We are going to do a deep dive on this topic soon but for now check out this post from “This Week in Music NFTs”. The founder of the newsletter is kinda controversial but who in crypto is not? We forgive him since he is dropping alpha.
Upcoming Drops they mentioned:
Mark Cuban on how crypto is like the dot com bust
Crypto is going through the lull that the internet went through. After the initial surge of exciting apps, NFTs, DeFi, P2E, we saw the imitation phase as chains subsidized the movement of those apps to their chains (ala bandwidth and storage subsidies by startups in the 2000s)
