Great ideas need great teams. For Trustless Work, everything began to align when a vibrant community and a shared vision brought the right people together.


⛩️ Dojo Coding

Alberto joined Dojo Coding, a dynamic and vibrant community of web3 developers from Latin America. Focused on open-source innovation, collaboration, and solving meaningful problems with blockchain technology, Dojo Coding plays a pivotal role in fostering talent and building impactful projects.

🌟 A Two-Way Partnership Dojo Coding continues to be a cornerstone for Trustless Work’s development efforts, while Trustless Work contributes back to the community by engaging developers, sharing insights, and strengthening the broader web3 ecosystem.


The Core Team Assembles

Within Dojo Coding, Joel reached out to Alberto, eager to team up for something meaningful: ✉️ Joel’s Message

  • “Hey, we’re forming a team, and we’re looking for a product idea. Want to collaborate?”

  • “Yeah, sure.” 😎


Meet our founding team! 🥳


The First Call

On our first call, Alberto pitched the initial idea for Trustless Work and shared an exciting opportunity: the application for the program by Draper University. The team immediately recognized the potential and decided to target this program as their first milestone.

🎯 A Shared Goal From the beginning, their focus was clear: build a solution that could get into Astro Hacker House, refine the idea, and set the foundation for something transformative.


The Beginning of a Shared Vision

With a clear problem to solve and a team aligned on the mission, Trustless Work began to take shape. This was no longer just an idea—it was a collaboration fueled by a shared belief in the power of blockchain to simplify and secure payments. LFG! 🚀
