🍍 Free Devcon Tickets Reward
This award was designed to recognize the long-term contributions made by members of the local community. June Chiu And Kimi Wu have interpreted and translated many in-depth research ideas from English to Mandarin, greatly contributing to reducing language barriers and accelerating the spread of knowledge about Ethereum. We were delighted to welcome June and Kimi to Devcon in Osaka and see them both again in Taipei shortly after.
What’s next?
One of Ethereum’s superpowers is the independent flourishing that occurs throughout its vast and dynamic ecosystem. The countless local Ethereum communities around the world are a big part of why Ethereum feels both global and personal to so many people.
As a result, FE is continually experimenting with ways to support communities around the world. We are excited to apply what we have learned with our recent grant programs focused on Korea, Japan, and now Taiwan to expand this concept even further.
Thank you to all community contributors who help make blockchain knowledge more accessible, facilitating innovation, Ethereum adoption, and sharing the spirit of Ethereum across the world!
