# Learn First, Ape Second

At Elemental, we believe strongly in "learn first, ape second”. In a space as innovative and fast-paced as Web3, countless great ideas emerge (but so do many risky ones). Taking the time to understand the underlying concepts and potential pitfalls can mean the difference between making informed choices and seeing your capital vanish with one wrong move.

The Elemental Library aims to serve as an accessible free resource on Web3. We strive to present complex topics in a way that’s easy to digest, yet doesn’t compromise on depth or detail.
