Look ma, another one 🤘 If you're new to Web3 and have no idea where to start, my recommendation as a beginner into web3 is to checkout HackQuest and participate in one of their hackathons. Just give it a shot. They also have learning pathways to help you learn about the chain the hackathon is on. Don't shy away, the worst is you'll not win but you'll learn how to build.
