My journey of knowing nothing about web 3.0 and cryptocurrency to creating my own FT, NFT, and even secret auction just in 7 days.

HackQuest : Co-Learning Camp-10
Without knowing what's in this camp I joined it, hoping i will at-least learn some basics about web3 and connect with some interesting people.

But now I'm here planning to submit on a web3 aia hackathon.
