Plexus Resource Solutions

3 Non-tech roles live this week!

William Hogan and Joshua Glensmark (EthCC) have been busy… if you’re out at EthCC and would like a quick chat about growing your team drop them a message and I’m sure they can squeeze you in for a coffee (between 5k morning runs and rAAAVEs 😂)

What % of women do you think have made up our overall Web3 job placements so far? Its just 7%. 😲 Bit of a shocking stat really. But from talking to our team, it's clear that this is about the lower numbers of female candidates in Web3 than it is lack of ability. It's hard to push that percentage up without attracting women to Web3 in the first place. Plus, our clients of course want people who are best qualified and often most experienced for the job. So we wondered, what can we do as talent partners in the space to bridge this gap? First, we reached out to Lauren Ingram at Women of Web3 to start by partnering on an event sharing Web3 career and hiring tips to women. Joining us on our panel were Lauryn Ifill from here at Plexus Resource Solutions Lorna Hutchman at Talos and Ox Bid from Bolide.fi They shared their strategies and advice for being best placed to make a career move into Web3 and it was not to be missed! Beyond this, we will be showcasing more stories of female placements we make, creating reporting and sharing data and of course giving out more hiring and career tips to candidates. As talent partners, we can't control the amount of women who want to enter Web3, but we can do our bit to give representation to those already here and hopefully encourage more women to get involved. We're also open to hear any ideas you may have, but for now, watch this space 👀

We will be out at EthCC in Brussels next week, look for these friendly faces, or drop William Hogan or Joshua Glensmark a message to arrange a chat over coffee. ☕

Female engineers in crypto? Turns out they’re in high demand. Our delivery consultant Lauryn Ifill knows a thing or two about the hiring landscape for engineers in Web3. She will be sharing her advice for women wanting to start a career in the space (engineering or non-tech) at our upcoming event in partnership with Women of Web3 on Monday evening.

Welcome to the Plexus weekly roundup where we dish out the TL;DR in crypto news for noobs and short-of-time Web3 vets alike. Here were the big stories last week: SEC vs. Consensys 🏛️ The SEC have filed a lawsuit against Consensys, claiming they have been running as an unregistered broker and selling unregistered securities through MetaMask Swaps since 2020. Allegedly, they raked in over $250 million in fees without proper registration. The SEC is looking for a permanent injunction and some hefty penalties. This could shake things up for MetaMask users big time. Solana ETF Filing 🌅 Just when we thought we could catch our breath from the Ethereum ETF excitement, Solana steps in to keep the party going, as if they knew we needed a little hopium hit. VanEck and 21Shares have filed for the first spot Solana ETFs in the U.S., right after Ethereum ETFs got the green light. Kraken Founder’s Big Bet 🤑 Jesse Powell, Kraken’s founder, just threw down a $1 million bet on Trump’s campaign. Powell and other crypto bigwigs like the Winklevoss twins and Cathie Wood are backing Trump, hoping for a more crypto-friendly vibe in the White House. Powell’s got beef with the current administration’s regulatory stance, which he says is killing U.S. competitiveness in the crypto game. Solana launch Blockchain Links (Blinks) 😉 Imagine Farcaster Frames but taken to the next level. Blinks are the latest buzz in the blockchain social space, allowing users to create and share links that are embedded with blockchain data. This innovation aims to integrate blockchain technology more seamlessly into everyday social interactions, making it easier for users to share and verify information securely. What did we miss?
