In the vast landscape of Web3, an unexpected voice has risen to guide novices through the intricacies of this revolutionary technology: that of Dante Alighieri.
Yes, you read that right. The Supreme Poet, catapulted into the future by a bizarre space-time fracture, now finds himself navigating the tumultuous waters of blockchain, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies.
Welcome to the world of "The Divine Cryptomedy," an innovative initiative by The Nemesis that aims to change the way we understand and approach Web3.
Dante's Journey in Web3
Imagine Dante, walking in the streets of Florence, suddenly finding himself surrounded not by people, but by wallets, smart contracts, tokens and avatars. His new journey, no less arduous than the one through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, sees him grappling with concepts that he himself defines as "more complex than the structure of Purgatory."
But Dante, being a good explorer of the unknown, doesn't lose heart. Armed with his pen (or should we say keyboard?), he faces this new challenge with the same spirit with which he faced his otherworldly journey.
The Nemesis's Mission
The Nemesis firmly believes that technology and the world of Web3 should be accessible to everyone.
The vision is clear: to break down the barriers of technicality and make Web3 understandable and interesting even for those who don't eat bits and bytes for breakfast.
And what better way to do it than to pour this vision through Dante's immortal poetry into an edutainment project?
The "The Divine Cryptomedy" Format
"The Divine Cryptomedy" is not just a fun play on words, but an innovative format that lives on Instagram and Facebook, two platforms not traditionally associated with the Web3 world. This strategic choice allows The Nemesis to reach a wider and more diverse audience, bringing Web3 education right where the less experienced users in the matter are.
In each post, Dante tackles the explanation of a basic concept of the digital world, all in what we could call "Florentine vernacular 2.0." Because "if you have to learn what an NFT is, you might as well do it with style (and in rhyme)."
But that's not all. Each post is accompanied by cards that summarize the key concepts with clear and simple bullet points, ensuring recall of concepts and allowing the essence of the message to be grasped.
To make the experience even more engaging and interactive, users on Instagram and Facebook have the opportunity to tackle a series of questions (3 per topic) posted in the stories. This approach not only consolidates learning but also encourages active community participation.
The initiative doesn't stop there: the same topic of the post is then picked up on The Nemesis's X (Twitter) account. However, considering the presence of a generally more expert user base on this platform, here a single question is proposed, but of a more complex and in-depth nature, related to the same theme covered on Instagram and Facebook. This multi-platform strategy allows content to be adapted to different levels of audience knowledge, ensuring a tailored educational experience for every type of user.
Themes Covered in the Series
From blockchain to NFTs, from wallets to cryptocurrencies, no topic is too complex for our digital Dante. With the same mastery with which he described the circles of hell, now the Supreme Poet paints vivid pictures of how a distributed ledger works or how a non-fungible token can represent a digital artwork.
Here's the list of themes and the link to the posts:

The Bridge between Past and Future
What makes "The Divine Cryptomedy" truly special is its ability to unite past and future. By using structures and language typical of the 13th century to explain cutting-edge technologies, the project creates a cultural bridge that makes Web3 more familiar and less intimidating.
In an era where digital literacy is more important than ever, initiatives like "The Divine Cryptomedy" play a fundamental role. By combining the authority of a beloved literary figure like Dante Alighieri with the urgency of understanding emerging technologies, The Nemesis has created a format that not only educates but inspires and entertains.
As we venture deeper and deeper into Web3, perhaps we should all take a cue from Dante and face this new "dark forest" with curiosity, courage, and, why not, a bit of poetry.
"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, ché la diritta blockchain era smarrita." - Dante Alighieri, probably (2024).
