Part of the learning process is being surrounded by like-minds who are just as driven in your journey, being with people you can communicate with, and sharing resources as well. As a learner finding your community, your people, and your friends, are crucial to your learning progress.

Communities also help professionals as well, meet-ups, coffee talks, important networks, Job opportunities, and more. In this article, I have curated the top 5 Web3 communities from my experience that are considered to be active and resourceful.

Developer DAO

Developer DAO is a community of Web3 Engineers wanting to grow with a global community, some of the top Web3 Engineers are part of this community, and you should join to get in on the advantages.

Developer DAO has a min job board too, where you can apply to certain jobs across multiple fields in the Web3 world
