Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you’re making?:
We are a team of crypto enthusiasts that have organized blockchain events since 2016, successfully conducting meetups, hackathons, and conferences attracting thousands of attendees. We’ve helped some of the most recognizable brands in Web3 achieve their marketing goals, including NEAR, Bitget, 1inch, Poloniex, Polkadot, CoinMarketCap, and Cosmos, to name a few.
What’s new about what you’re making? What substitutes do people resort to because it doesn’t exist yet (or they don’t know about it)?:
The blockchain industry is heavily community-driven, but most crypto conferences are just speaker sessions and snacks. At Octaloop, we take pride in our events being fun, memorable, and most importantly, a catalyst for dialogue between projects and the communities they serve.
Having a space where your questions can’t be ignored, where experts can get their point across without their expertise being questioned, isn’t just important for the success of individual projects, but for the long-term growth of the Web3 industry as a whole.
What’s your vision for how your project will impact The Graph and/or web3?:
Metamorphosis serves as a watering hole for the blockchain community, where projects find opportunities to collaborate, onboard users, and grow, while attendees get the chance to explore the industry’s latest innovations. It’s a celebration of everything crypto, and we want to celebrate you.
How will you measure success?:
As mentioned above, our goal is to foster a dialogue between projects and communities, and promote blockchain technology to the masses. For us, success is ensuring your brand gets the exposure it deserves, while providing Web3 communities with the chance to interact with innovative projects and the people that run them.

Why are you interested in contributing to The Graph and/or web3?:
There is an information asymmetry problem in the blockchain industry. At Octaloop, one of our biggest goals is to educate the masses on the benefits of blockchain technology. However, obtaining reliable information is tough in an industry filled with misinformation and FUD. We found The Graph’s mission to organize blockchain data, making it more accessible to the masses, in alignment with our own vision for the future of Web3.
