“How to Build a Profitable NFT Marketplace with React, Solidity, and CometChat” by @daltonic has won 2 prizes this month!

Congratulations @daltonic, your story has gained the highest number of reads and votes in the web3 category! You’ve won 434+86 = 520 OCT Tokens.

The SECOND place goes to @wasyne’s “Where does "Nostalgia" come from?”

“Contrary to many investors, I will proceed from what is going on in our brains — a "certain emotion" that we all have. By objectively treating it, which everyone has as a property of the mind, and by changing people’s attitudes to be appropriate for this Web3 era, we would get a scale for the new value that can compete with "silver spoons.”

Great job @wasyne! You’ve won 260 OCT Tokens.

Last but not least, we have The Tools and Resources You Need to Become a Web3 Developer in 2022 by @suhail.

“Every day more and more people are transiting to Web3. The demand for developers is increasing as Crypto use grows at an exponential rate. Skills in blockchain development are among the most in-demand in the tech industry. It's difficult to find a proper/clean roadmap and resource to get started with Web3 because it's so new.”

Congratulations @suhail, you have won the third position and 86 Oct Tokens!!

Once again, congratulations to all three of the winners, and best of Luck to the nominees in the upcoming contests!
