    My Journey in Web3

    When I first stepped into the crypto space, I knew I wanted to be part of building systems that worked for people, not against them. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to projects, protocols, and communities that are at the frontier of decentralized innovation—each one teaching me that the future of this space isn’t just about technology. It’s about people, collaboration, and the courage to experiment.

    Over the years..

    I’ve served on the Board of Directors at Unlock Protocol and contributed to governance councils with Gitcoin and Octant, while helping launch and mentor builder networks such as GreenPill and GoodDollar to support ideas from vision to execution. I’ve acted as a grant advisor at CharmVerse, collaborating with protocols like Polygon and Cyber, and contributed to DeFi and stablecoin adoption through projects including Glo Dollar and climate-focused initiatives featured on Crypto Altruists. Along the way, I’ve founded and iterated ventures like Spinach.fi, BYOB, and Astrid Park—blending innovation with grounded, real-world execution—and earned recognition as a three-time ETHGlobal Hackathon prize winner. Each project has deepened my commitment to creating ecosystems that are resilient, regenerative, and built for long-term impact.​​

    "Each project has deepened my commitment to creating ecosystems that are not only functional, but sustainable, inclusive, and impactful."

    Building the Future of Web3 Together

    There is no vision too bold for the future we’re building.
    The version of you, and your project that will shape communities, design fairer economies, and spark real change already exists.


    But meaningful impact requires more than ambition.
    It requires strategy aligned with your values, partnerships that amplify your work, and communities that grow with you.

    We can feel both optimistic and hopeful about the future while also feeling exhausted and uncertain.

    This is the work I do in Web3: helping projects, DAOs, and builders not only dream, but execute—creating ecosystems that last, governance that empowers, and narratives that inspire.

    In a world full of distractions, The Lighthouse Collective is meant to bring you back to yourself.  So you can do things like scale your business, take on your next creative project, feel more fulfilled in your work, or figure out what your next steps are, all in a way that makes sense for you, your goals, your lifestyle, and your vision for the future. 

    There is no dream that is too big for you to achieve. The version of you who will accomplish all of your wildest dreams already exists inside of you. Remember, you do not need to be fixed, you simply need to be reminded that you are more than capable to achieve your deepest desires.

    But big dreams require a lot of work and responsibility.

    Making space for that person to emerge means cultivating a strategy that is in alignment with who you are and leaning on the support of a community that encourages your deepest desires.

    Lana Dingwall's Lighthouse Collective

    There is no dream that is too big for you to achieve.

    The version of you who will accomplish all of your wildest dreams already exists inside of you.
     Remember, you do not need to be fixed, you simply need to be reminded that you are more than capable to achieve your deepest desires.

    But big dreams require a lot of work and responsibility.

    The learning curve is steep, but I fundamentally believe it’s worth it. Online entrepreneurs, especially, you are closer to this shift than you realize.

    • Do you feel like you’re on the cusp of something transformative in crypto, but not sure how to take the next step?
    • Are you looking to elevate yourself and your business to be more in alignment with where you feel your life is pulling you?
    • Are you looking to align your project or business with models that create both abundance and impact?
    • Do you want to explore conversations around regenerative finance, governance, and community that feel too “out of place” in traditional spaces?
    • Are you searching for tools and guidance to participate in this shift so that power doesn’t simply concentrate in the same old hands?

    I believed that if I worked hard, pushed myself, mastered my mindset, and grinded it out, that I would finally achieve what I desired.

    I began to doubt myself (a lot!) and thought that maybe I didn’t have it in me to live the dream life I pictured for myself... that maybe I wasn’t cut out for a life and business of impact, joy, and being my full self.

    What I realized was that hustling for my self-worth through business accomplishments only pushed me further from the things that truly matter to me: my values, my relationships, my desire to enjoy my life, and the impact I want to bring to this world.

    So I started looking for communities and support systems that embraced the core of who I was instead of programs that tried to change me to fit into a rigid success plan.

    I invested over $100,000 in coaching, masterminds, and trainings over the years.

    Immersing myself into authentic communities, not curated programs that promised one way of doing life and business.

    Finding groups where I could ask questions and have my needs and desires voiced in a safe space. 

    Filling my life with peers who were on the same growth journey as me, without feeling like there was something wrong with me or that we had to compete with one another. Finding people with whom I could create a better, more equalible world through having real conversations.

    I created The Lighthouse Collective as an extension of the most impactful transition period in my life and business.

    quote-left

    We are taught to fit within a mold to be ‘employable,’ yet the cost of living is rising

     and people feel disconnected from what truly makes them come alive. Web3 offers an

     opportunity to step outside outdated systems and explore new ways of creating rooted

     in entrepreneurship, sovereignty, community care, and shared rewards. While not

     without its challenges, this technology has the potential to support regenerative

     economics, public goods, and more equitable models of value if enough of us choose

     to learn, participate, and help shape what comes next!

    -Lana​

    My promise to you

     ​

    The world of crypto is still young, and with that comes a rare opportunity—to build systems that are equitable, regenerative, and genuinely transformative. My promise is to approach this space with integrity, curiosity, and care, prioritizing long-term impact over short-term trends.

    I won’t sell hype or shortcuts. Instead, I’ll help you align your vision with clear strategy, grow your community with intention, and build in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and true to your values. If you’re ready to create something meaningful and contribute to shaping what comes next, I’d love to connect.

    If you’d like to learn more, I’m available for a virtual coffee chat.

    Lana looking to the left

    The community will remain intentional, in order to foster genuine connection, and will shift and evolve as we begin to really tap into the needs and desires of one another.

    You might be thinking, this sounds like a lot... how can all of it be covered in one place and how do I know it won’t overwhelm me?

    Some of the collective teachings will be pre-recorded, allowing you to consume them at your own pace and leaving room for authentic connection and discussion on our calls. You will have the flexibility to decide which topics you want to dive into, which ones you prefer to catch a replay of, or to skip them all together. It’s all about following your own guidance in knowing what is for you and what isn’t. There are no expectations and no gold stars to hand out.  

    That is the best part about going on an adventure, you get to decide which parts are for you and which parts aren’t. There is no competition, no ‘shoulds’, no expectations, just a desire for you to get whatever it is that you feel you want and need.

    The live collective sit ins will also be recorded, so you can access them anytime.
