About Reformers:

In the 1500s, the German monk, Martin Luther, utilized the new technology of the printing press to ignite The Reformation. Every generation and new movement requires reformation according to the Word of God. Web3 is no different.

This space is new and even though some of us have invested thousands of hours into understanding and experiencing it, we are all students. Our mission with Reformers is to create a community of like-minded individuals that learn, share, create, build, and encourage one another to innovate in web3, all for the Glory of God.
