Ipê News #1
Your weekly update on what is happening in the Startup Society ecosystem.
Hey builders! The Ipê Newsletter is back! We will be sharing the best projects, tools, and news from the startup society space. Every week, a short and focused pulse check on network societies and governance space.
🌐 Network Societies Update

🛠️ Web3 Tools
Tech shaping decentralized living, finance, and identity.
