BFF DAO
Earlier this year, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Legal Officer at Blockchain.com Lindsey Haswell joined forces with a group of nearly 50 female and non-binary leaders including Brit Morin and Jaime Schmidt, to form a brand new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) called BFF.
BFF aims to educate women and non-binary people in crypto and web3. Other founding members include Mila Kunis, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Randi Zuckerberg.

Community Events
Blockchain.com was a proud sponsor of the CA Women Lead event in Fall 2021, where we shared crypto and financial literacy knowledge with a group of female leaders across various sectors.
This month, we joined our partners, Unstoppable Domains, in launching Unstoppable Women of Web3, an initiative that aims to provide education and training for the next generation of Web3 talent, particularly women and girls.
And today, Unstoppable Women of Web3 will host a 24-hour Twitter Spaces event where Min Wei, Hannah Lynch, and Lorna Hutchman of Blockchain.com will join other female leaders to educate on web3. You can tune into the session at 12:30 pm PT.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of the incredible work by Blockchain.com colleagues and peers to empower women across the globe to continue to build, invest and influence the world of crypto. We’re just getting started.
