This week on the podcast we welcome Steve Sawczyn to the show. Steve has a proven track record in digital accessibility with over ten years of experience including hands-on usability testing, automated testing, and project management. He is also blind and has been since birth. Steve is very passionate about both technology as well as accessibly and has been working to create a more accessible future for everyone. But what does this have to do about crypto? Steve has been trying to learn more and understand the Web3 space since before the rise of Bitcoin. Throughout his time learning, he has discovered many hurdles that prevent him from fully diving in. On this episode we discuss those barriers and try to find ways to improve the space so everyone can get involved. We talk about the importance of accessibility, VoiceOver, and what wallets have been accessible thus far.
