Decentralization is one of the first words coming to your mind when thinking of web3. It may sound like a buzzword, but some experts say the next-level technologies are about to decentralize companies and transform the structures we’re used to so as to harness employees’ potential. However, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The only truth is…

…It’s all about your team

If you want to win a championship and not a single game, you need talent + teamwork and intelligence. Michael Jordan knows exactly what he’s talking about. Actually, the same fits the business, too.

We’ve got some dirty secrets first-hand info you always wanted to know about crypto teams (but were afraid to ask).

OneArt team

Our team includes 30 members so far, and almost half of them are developers. It’s more of a flat organization, i.e., a non-hierarchical one. It helps speed up communication, simplify the decision-making process, and give team members more freedom to find creative solutions.

CEO

It’s a kind of an all-in-one — a founder, creator, and business lead, “the one who takes the lead in a pitch” and generates ideas. It’s the CEO who invents the wow idea to be turned into a product. They need to have strong strategic planning, finance, venture capital, and project and investment management skills. Also, a crypto start-up founder has to be a tokenomics maven and creative and persuasive storyteller to attract investors.

The main difference from other IT projects is a community.
