With the Participation of Members from the Congressional Financial Literacy & Wealth Creation Caucus, Series Commemorates Financial Literacy Month and Small Business Week

On April 26, 2024, in Washington, a decentralized Web3 network called Hedera, in collaboration with the Blockchain Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on education, has launched an Educational Learning Briefing Series. This series is designed to explore the fundamental aspects of responsible innovation within the Web3 domain through regional gatherings in Washington, DC; Boston, MA; Columbus, OH; and Anaheim, CA.

The project aims to shed light on the objectives of the bipartisan Financial Literacy & Wealth Creation Caucus and the endeavors of public institutions, illustrating the interconnectedness of the Web3 ecosystem with existing frameworks. The briefings will showcase the endeavors of conventional establishments in developing tools for financial stability and protocols for risk management to educate and empower participants in the Web3 sphere.
