Charitable Crypto Community Hub Proposal

Please give a short description of the topic/cause for your Community Hub

The Charitable Crypto Community Hub is a space dedicated to exploring and advancing the use of blockchain technology for social good. It aims to bring together crypto builders, charitable organizations, and enthusiasts to showcase innovative projects, inspire new ideas, and foster collaboration in the realm of blockchain-powered philanthropy.

What will you offer to the Devcon attendees?

  1. Community Project Showcase: A rotating display of diverse charitable crypto projects from around the world, presented by community members.
  2. Inspiration Corner: Interactive displays and lightning talks by community members to spark ideas for new charitable crypto initiatives.
  3. Community Ideation Workshops: Facilitated sessions for attendees to brainstorm and develop novel applications of blockchain in philanthropy.
  4. Charity-Crypto Matchmaking: Structured networking sessions connecting charitable organizations with crypto builders to explore potential collaborations.
  5. Impact Games: Fun, community-driven activities demonstrating the potential of crypto in charitable giving, with real donations to causes chosen by participants.
  6. Open Space Discussions: Dedicated times for spontaneous, attendee-led discussions on topics of interest to the charitable crypto community.
  7. Networking Lounge: A relaxed space for informal discussions and connections throughout the day.

Let’s make it happen. Charitable crypto projects may be a good way to onboarding “normal” users who is not interested in speculation and financial investment.

Thank you for putting together this proposal!

General Update on the Process

  • The RFP is open until the end of August.
  • Shortly after this (early first week of September), we will share which Community Hub proposals got accepted and will work with those accepted teams to fine-tune the proposals/hubs and how we can best meet their production requirements.

We’ll keep you updated, should we have any more questions!

Thanks!

Hi!

Thank you so much for your patience as we review all the community hub proposals. A quick update: We have extended the deadline to submit a community hub application by one week, to the 7th of September 2024 (AoE time). You can now expect to hear from us about the outcome of your proposal by mid-September.

Thank you again! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Hi there,

First of all, we would like to thank you for putting together this proposal!

The space allocated to Community Hubs is limited which means we can only accept a limited number of proposals.

Many of the proposals we received were very high quality and, unfortunately, we had to take hard decisions. There is simply not enough space to accommodate all of them.

With this post, I’d like to inform you that your proposal was not selected for this year’s Community space.

Again, thank you for showing initiative to contribute to the Devcon SEA experience and we hope to see you there soon nonetheless.

Best Regards,

Shyam & The Devcon team
