Welcome to Chain Reaction, where we unpack and explain the latest in crypto news, drama and trends, breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious.

For this week’s Tuesday episode where we chat with a web3 expert, we’re playing a recording of our discussion live on stage with a16z GP Chris Dixon that took place at Disrupt last month. We chatted with Dixon about:

• The venture firm’s new creator economy-focused crypto accelerator program
• Why a16z backed controversial WeWork founder Adam Neumann
• Where he’s seeing opportunity across the web3 landscape in this bear market

Also, we’ll be hosting our first dedicated crypto event in Miami for just one day on November 17th — you can use the promo code, REACT, for 15% off a General Admission ticket to hear from speakers including FTX’s Amy Wu and OpenSea’s Devin Finzer.
