Topic/Cause:
We are excited to bring people within the ETH Ecosystem together by providing a Community Hub at Devcon. We Intend to bring awareness of the newest developments, projects successes, and what is needed most for the Ethereum space.
Everyone within the community is invited! Whether they be new to web3 or an expert hacker, we are excited to provide a space where anyone can participate in conversations, discussions, and presentations focused on:
- Scaling
- Security
- ZK Tech
- DeFi improvements
- Web2 Integrations
- Metaverse
- Diversity in the ecosystem
- Hackathons
- Web3 Standards
- Blockchain for social good
- NFTs
- Anything EVM tech-focused!
Hackathon winners will also be invited to share their projects and ideas with the community, diving deep into what drives them forward in web3 and creating discussions based on their winning product.
There are a lot of improvements to be made in all industries, and with forward-thinking people, we hope to incubate new ideas to improve the web3 ecosystem. Metis is a network made by people for the people, and we will embody that within the Devcon Community Hub.
