# National Web3 Women's Day, Part 2: Peanuts, Phishing, and a First Attempt at Rap

Host: Morgan (@Web3WomensDay)\* with co-hosts VERONIKA (@VeronikaLKLK), B, Queen Cindy (@QueenCindy_XO) and LadyDev (@LadyDev1128) · Sun 11 Oct 2026 · 3:45:50 · ~30 speakers

## TL;DR
- Hours 3–7 of the second annual all-day Space picked up right after X dropped the room; the schedule ran roughly 50 minutes behind for the rest of the block and the hosts apologized approximately once per speaker.
- A long parade of women founders presented: Wham (creator monetization), Cakes/opulence agency, Mod Mavericks (cybersecurity), Classy Sassy Girls, Noise (on-chain music collaboration), Agentropolis (AI agent city), VFit, Project CareCoin, Little Looms/Funkadelics, and more.
- Recurring threads: price your work properly, stay authentic, onboard web2 people without them noticing, and please stop screenshotting your seed phrase.
- Announcements: the Her Era NFT mint (from $5, free mint + two half-price mints for Metamuses holders), the Webby Social "unbecoming" open call running 11 Oct–11 Nov, a Coco-donated charity NFT at $1.10 on LadyDev's marketplace with the physical painting as a prize, and Discord wheel giveaways.
- Stormi premiered Ignite Radio and her AI music platform Archimedes, then played her first ever rap track and recruited both hosts to voice owls.

## Highlights

**[2:22] A formal appeal to the platform owner.** After the Space crashed and had to be restarted, VERONIKA opened with a prayer: "dear Elon, this space means a lot to us, and we have been working our butts off to make it happen," closing with "We love you, ish." The ish became a running bit for the next three hours — every delay was politely filed under international politics.

**[6:09] WildAmerica restarts her pitch from the top.** Cut off mid-speech by the crash, she began again: if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, so why have creators accepted being the monkeys? Her Wham app puts creators at the center with 70–90% of sponsor revenue and 100% of tips, all creators KYC'd at 21+ — a limit VERONIKA endorsed with a detour about how Americans can drive at 16 but not have a beer until 21, which she'd happily reverse.

**[17:00] Cakes on being the person underneath the brand.** Eighteen years of content, selling online and community building distilled into three asks: credit the skills you already have, make room for your work to be paid, and name the woman who made the thing when you recommend it. Her line about how personal silence feels when your name is attached to an offer landed in the room.

**[32:10] VEXE turns the room paranoid, usefully.** A certified ethical hacker and founder of Mod Mavericks, she walks through how fast a site can be cloned and a phishing link spun up, then gives the practical takeaway at [37:26]: keep crypto and banking on a separate device with no email and no DMs. Also, [38:25], stop screenshotting seed phrases — there's malware that scans your photo roll for exactly that. VERONIKA's reaction: she would like to remain happily ignorant, thank you.

**[49:14] The accidental parenting support group.** VERONIKA's school emailed that classes were cancelled for three days over asbestos; a student had hacked the system. Stormi one-upped it — her six-year-old got suspended for hacking the school network because he was bored and wanted to play video games after finishing his work, and she's "so proud of him." Barbie's 12-year-old called her into his room to show off a site he'd gotten into and was mildly redecorating. VEXE promptly turned it into a careers conversation, pointing Stormi to free cybersecurity training programs.

**[1:04:47] JT on not buying followers.** The excited hamsters community manager stepped out of a team meeting to speak about being onboarded as a raider, buying courses that taught her nothing but "let's go to the moon," and learning that moderating is talking to actual humans. On her follower count: it's not about the numbers. She credits meeting Morgan with giving her permission to be loud and funny on stage instead of performing seriousness to fit in.

**[1:12:35] Joy, in the rain, with a toddler.** Crochet artist, graphic designer, space host, co-founder of Funkadelics and Greenish Club, now building NFT Talk to teach newcomers for free. Her Little Looms collection — real crochet pieces you can redeem and ship — got burned after a soft launch and will relaunch. She also mentioned the day had started with news that her aunt had passed, and showed up anyway, with a small child audibly negotiating in the background.

**[1:45:59] Stormi's double drop.** Ignite Radio (free platform for independent musicians, already playing in five Ohio hospitals) and Archimedes, which she describes as "Sunno on steroids" — personal AI, live collaboration, sheet music output, a VR room, and a white owl theme borrowed from Clash of the Titans. Then, at [1:51:27], she played her first-ever rap track, "I'm Magic Like That," after warning everyone it was a country-rocker's first attempt. At [1:53:10] she asked Morgan and VERONIKA to voice the owls in the program; both said yes before asking whether the owls talk or hoot.

**[2:04:36] A bilingual first for the room.** Diux delivered her talk on "invisible onboarding" in Spanish with key points in English, arguing that projects explain blockchain before they explain the problem, and that education, jury work and mentorship are infrastructure, not extras. Morgan attempted Spanish earlier to hold Brenda's slot, which went about as well as expected; Iana then joined in Spanish-Italian, and the hosts decided this should become a feature.

**[2:42:16] Neuro opens the hood on Agentropolis.** Solo founder, in since November 2020, a self-described survivor of the ETH gas wars, now building from the command line on Linux: a city of specialized AI agents with districts, governance, identity and memory, an evolving agent language, an AR component, and a TCG onboarding game where your card is a dynamic agent you can re-skill from chief of staff to junior engineer. She also runs a free gamified neurodivergence assessment, with the design principle that technology should adapt to people rather than the other way around.

**[3:38:38] hanna.shefi.eth makes unpaid care work the product.** One year into web3 via SheFi and SeeHer DAO, she's building Project CareCoin to recognize and reward private unpaid caregiving — the contribution that sits in no GDP while penalizing the people doing it — using the soft skills it builds as credentials, plus zero-knowledge verification and a crowdfunding campaign next month. Barbie, a mother and division manager, told her to keep going.

## Worth a full listen

- **[48:51]–[54:12]** — the hacker-children detour. It starts as a school-email prank, becomes a proud-mom contest, and ends with VEXE routing a 20-year-old into free cybersecurity certification programs. A good example of how this room turns a tangent into an actual opportunity.
- **[1:44:46]–[1:57:11]** — Stormi's full segment. The platform pitches are substantive, but the back half — the owl casting, the hosts' reactions, and the track itself — doesn't survive paraphrase.
- **[2:42:16]–[2:52:00]** — Neuro's Agentropolis walkthrough. Dense, unhurried, and the only part of the block where someone apologizes for referring to people as "the humans."
