An Extraordinary Year
2022 was a great year for us as a company. We started in the late summer and have been working on our mission of making crypto interoperability accessible to every developer.
But it has also been a VERY eventful year for our industry.
As open-source contributors, we want to start a new year-end tradition. Every year want to go over our candid thoughts on how the Crypto Interoperability tech did. We also want to share some insights into the new year for the community.
The Map3 2022 Year-in-review goes over the top Crypto technical innovations that shipped and events that occurred. We review the principal themes and trends and make some predictions for how Crypto Payments & Interoperability will evolve over 2023 and beyond.
Join Mark, Phil and Amadeo, the founders of Map3, as they share their insights gathered after over 25 years of combined crypto products building.
