Introducing Testnet Labs — Web3 Projects with a Purpose

I, Andre Flores, am launching a new project: Testnet Labs. Along with my cofounder Mike Thu, we hope to push web3 adoption forward and change the negative public perception of the tech into a positive one by focusing solely on launching products that solve a problem or make our lives better.

What is it exactly?

As an experimental studio, our goal is to ideate and launch projects quickly. Unlike current startup journeys, our strategy is to create micro-projects and release them to the web3 community. If it gains traction, we will continue to build out that project; if not, we will be quick to move on.

What problem are we solving?

Public sentiment on web3 is negative.

The general public doesn’t like crypto, and we can’t blame them because all they hear about are scams, frauds, rug pulls, and money lost. Almost all the conversations surrounding Web3 are about investing, making money, and losing money.

Unfortunately, we’re not highlighting projects with actual use cases that when there’s a discussion about web3 — it immediately dies when someone asks: “Give me a web3 project that has an actual use case.”. I bet most of you can’t answer that one right now, let alone identify a web3 product you use outside of investing.

Our mission

We love web3 tech and the possibilities it provides for real-world applications. With that said, our missio — nay, our promise is only to build projects that address a use case. We want to show the world that web3 can improve our lives for the better and is not only meant as an investment vehicle.

We’re open to exploring already identified use cases such as:

  • Global money movement
  • Digital certification
  • Ticketing
  • and many more

Why should you care?

If you believe in web3 but are tired of hearing the same old news of people getting rich and losing money, we’re here to help give you hope. We want to give you a space where you can be encouraged and look forward to projects that will be available.

We’re not stopping there. We also want to allow you to participate in the web3 adoption movement. Want to learn how? Follow us as we will release news about our first project very soon!

    Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist of the World Large Enterprises Federation, said, "US consumer confidence continued to improve in November, reaching the highest level in the past two years. The growth in November was mainly due to consumers' more positive assessment of the current situation, especially in the labor market. Compared with October, consumers' optimism about future employment opportunities has also greatly increased, reaching the highest level in nearly three years. At the same time, consumers' expectations for future business conditions have not changed, while their optimism about future income has slightly declined." Earlier, the US Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for November recorded 111.7, a new high since July 2023.

  • QCP: BTC's path to $100,000 has stalled, and ETH implied volatility has turned to put options

    QCP Capital has published an analysis indicating that the recent drop in the price of Bitcoin has resulted in long liquidations exceeding $430 million. This drop coincides with the end of five consecutive days of net inflows for spot ETFs, which recorded a outflow of $438 million on Monday, while MicroStrategy fell by 4.4%. With the US holiday approaching and no immediate catalyst to push prices higher, BTC's path towards $100,000 has stalled. In addition, the implied volatility of ETH has turned to bearish options rather than bullish options, and market concerns about downside risks may intensify, especially with the release of the FOMC meeting minutes and PCE data. However, in the long run, this market decline is not an excessive correction. Bitcoin has only retreated to last week's level. Since Trump's election, the market has become extremely overbought and leveraged, so a pause is inevitable.
