Snippets

Welcome, welcome. We're getting settled as we speak on with the rest of the people that's joining up from Metapool. I see cloud is coming up. Let me bring in.
Buenos dias, BDBD.
- Did you do it in the studio? - Doing good, man. Can't complain. I had a good night's sleep, so still not doing too much of the late night parties, so just fresh as a lettuce as they say here. (speaking in foreign language)
Today is the day that DevCon kicks off and DevCon week has been going, let's say for a day now, you wouldn't believe the vibe and the energy that there is here in
Bogota. It started with last week with Ipogota as well. It's getting intense and we are gearing up towards the first day of DevCon and now the new space with all our partners here joining Hydevit.
I see it's coming in representing for Nier. How you doing today? Hola, a todos. Anote asuche una cintra cara a aprender español. Me ansias que tu MSI ahora lo hablo conflúne des.
Was that right? Did you get what I said? I think it was one-on-one perfect. I hope they expect something anything different. You were already... It's probably a DevCon, but I liked it when it was rougher around the edges when it was like fluente. You weren't things bad.
Yeah, exactly. All right, some quickhouse keeping as as we've been doing We tell the interns of conversation, you know, dark screwing around David. Good Spanish is welcome either way. You know, we're all we're all now by looking
lingual after that tape. So, yep, you'll see us around the floor at Devkon and Bogota and you know come approaches to speaking in any of those language with David as well. We're joining everybody here today to speak about Devkon Week near Devkon
week and most importantly on Thursday the near space decided event we're hosting with all our partners here with near particle for God's presence as well Aurora Metapool. It's a bigger event that's coming up right Claudio we got a little surprise coming in terms of numbers.
Yeah, yeah, so so we started the planning this with around 250 people right so it was gonna be just a very very close event now we bumped up the attendees to be capacity to be 600
So we got around 1800 RSVPs as of now. So it's going to be really, really exciting. Definitely we're reaching venue capacity, but anyhow, I'm sure we will be able to accommodate these here in community and all of the surrounding communities.
community is around Deppcon pretty well. The host venue is going to be the double tree Hilton Salitre. So it is kind of like a 10 minute ride, but we will be providing a shuttle bus ride from right in front of the
Gora Convention Center where Debt Guns Gonna Happen. So you will see there are two bands and you will see some folks with some near space t-shirts and also some near protocol signature. So make sure you say hello and if they're there, make sure you make a proper
line and yeah we'll get you safe and sound from the Agora venue to the Double Tree Hilton Salita Revenue as well so no need to grab a cab or a Uber, near Protocol, Aurora, Pagoda and Metapool are gonna be taking really good care of you guys.
Wonderful. Let's share a little bit about what we can expect at this event. How's the agenda looking if we break it up? Maybe we're going to detail in terms of each item just now, but you know, if we see the morning, we have office hours right cloud is the start. Yes, so we're going to kick off the agenda.
So, also, some little, a little bit of housekeeping. So, there's not going to be on-site registration. I sent over an email last night stating a little bit of the bad news. Yes, we're not going to be able to bring in people directly from, if they
attend without registering. So please do be mindful of that. There's not going to be on-site registration because we are reaching full venue capacity. Now regarding the agenda, so we're going to kickstart things around 9.30am. So hopefully we'll get everybody registered from 8.30am
or 8 a.m. if you're really really early and then kick off things at 9.30 basically office hours is the following we're going to have 10 minute presentations from all of our partners Aurora Pagoda the near grants team is going to be there the near education team
through Newspan is also going to be there, fabric ventures is also going to be there. So they're going to be doing some presentations about what they're doing, how they're helping the Newrika system grow, and how also very importantly we can also onboard Ethereum projects that are one
to go to another layer one and definitely that's going to be one of the big highlights there. IOSG and fabric are also going to have office hours so for those who have you that are interested or looking for funding to of the best venture capital firms from the New York consists of are going to be present and
at the event. Also, the big Garcia from the new Grand Steam is going to be there. So definitely a lot of opportunities, not only talking tech with Pagoda Aurora, but also funding through the Grand Steam and the different BC firms that are going to be that are our partners for the event.
you, Nikol. And it's a no-day event, right? We start early at the morning and go through to the afternoon and there's you know little checkpoint so you know we're not gonna be standing there all day and just you know drying ourselves out. We'll have lunch at the middle of the day and networking
drinks at the end of the afternoon. So come hang, it's important as cloud is said to be conscious about the registration confirm you should be getting an email about confirming your registration soon if I'm not wrong, Claudio, right? Yeah, so yes, we need to be mindful of that, right? It's just
As you've seen, many of us have seen all of any capacity has been in full. So we will try to accommodate as much people as we can, but there's definitely a limit. So hopefully we won't have that situation where we
We will have to put people to go back home. We will try to accommodate as much as we can. Very importantly, yes, there's going to be a networking event around 5.30 pm. All the way to maybe 7.8 pm. We understand that there's going to be a lot of parties and dinners.
on the last day of DebCon. So definitely we want to accommodate everybody. And also there's going to be the Aurora party also happening at 9 p.m. So we will be accommodating the bus shuttle ride to that venue. So those of us or those of us or you that have
registered, we will be accommodating and hopefully bringing the party over to the Aurora Party after the networking drinks. So more news on that one, but definitely, Nico, can you bring in also the Fabric Ventures team to speak? They just joined. Of course.
I'm just sending by. Welcome aboard. Should be able to popping as a speaker. Yes, excellent. Hopefully the the iOS G team is coming in as well. And yes, so there's definitely a lot of a lot of things happening during your space. Most importantly is for everybody attending DevCon that is
is not very familiar with the new ecosystem and the Aurora ecosystems for every one of you to basically just approach us, right? There's going to be also we're going to accommodate a near space lounge where some of the projects are going to be there presenting and more importantly talking to all the builders and
Anybody that's interested in in building on top of New York, Aurora There's also the new education team is gonna be there Represented by nearest panel the people from platy are also gonna be there Hopefully they're gonna be coming in Oscar. I don't see him here, but anyhow so he'll be
be coming in a little bit later. So he'll explain to us because we have two events. So but anyhow, I don't want to be taking sucking up the mic, but definitely there's a lot of stuff happening during this week in DevCon. We can definitely say it's like three days or two days in a row that's full near that you can find yourself.
the near-plotts event, presenting the work done in the biggest latime educational online hub, following up with the near space on the 13th on Thursday and in the afternoon we wrap with the event you mentioned the Aurora Site Event which is the ensueño event so you can find that as well on the site events
list. So if you want to get all things near, you know, from EVM to non EVM compatible, there's two days packed with it. It's going to be super fun. If I give a little brief on the office hours on things that we'll be doing there, like Claudia said, the grants team will be there with David and
The rest of the team who's going to give not only a presentation on how the grants process is in near, but also provide advice to projects because you know, pitching and sending this request also takes work. There are certain procedures to follow and you can do it in a better way, you know, who's better for that advice than the grants team
self. On our end from pagoda we'll be doing office hours from a technical perspective so if you're building on near, just come chat with us because we'll provide an info you need regarding the tooling, the docs, the examples whatever you need to get started or you know solve a block
You might just be with your project halfway, two thirds of the way. I need a little help and advice on how to push it through. We'll be there for those questions. We'll be doing a full show of this tag and the documentation with Amian. We should be flying in today later on, enjoying us on site.
And yeah, so it'll be a nice instance in the morning to get warmed up as the event rumps up. And we get started with the talks. David, you'll be speaking in the event. What can we expect from near in terms of news and just the ecosystem showcase you'll provide.
Thank you, Mewda David, or did I lose you today?
All right Claudio, if you want to pick it up in terms of like the rest of the afternoon's and the talks we have, it's not just near and us, we have a lot of invited people. Yes, it's going to be really good. So definitely,
I'm going to speak for David a little bit. David is going to be presenting three ecosystem projects during his talk. The idea here is basically we're going to kick it off with some really heavy hitters. Alex Atemkov, CEO for Moror Labs, is
going to kick off all of the main conference. Then we have Patrick Wu from Astridow. He's going to talk about Dows, how we build Dows over our near. Then we have two heavyweights. We have Santiago CD from proof of humanity for him to talk
and discuss everything about governance, the house, universal basic income. I think those are two very important themes that have come out during DEB CON. Common goods is something really important. That's why we also invited Kevin O'Walky, one of the co-founders of Gitcoin,
to present at the event. And so really exciting here because it's not only about how to build, it is how we can build coming-its, how we can build governance, how does work and or not work, right? Very importantly, what doesn't
where it gets very important. And so we have two heavy weights there to discuss how their implementation of the OSAS has evolved, their best learnings. And then later in the evening, we were starting to kick off on more of the funding side. So we're going
have Richard Murhead, who is one of the leading general partners at Fabric Banker to discuss the investing in the Neurico system and Aurora ecosystems, then we're going to have a BC panel as well to discuss investing in Web 3. And then
last but not least I think you can introduce to the one of the highlights of the definitely of the event right regarding everybody this building right Nico yeah of course we have a panel to wrap up the day regarding Deborah in Web 3 it's Mother I do by the name
DaVet, now recently in Avail Nance Protocol, Lorney from Pagoda, she's there in the audience, also in your invite, in case you are around to give a little brief. Camilla Ramos from Fuel Labs is joining us as well, an Emily Ling from Truffle, so it's an all-star panel from Debra in the Web 3 ecosystem,
across the board. It's going to be super exciting to see the strategies and there's doing it just in Web 3. Hey, Lorny, welcome in. Hey, how's it going? Awesome. Wanna share a little bit about what the panel is going to be about? Yeah, absolutely. So the DevRal and Web 3 panel are going to be
talking about essentially how important it is to have a developer relations team in Web 3, how it can help you if you have a technical product to generate awareness and impact. And if you don't know anything about developer relations, we'll also be giving a quick overview
review on what it is, how to build out a team like this, and we're going to be learning from some of the OGs in the space. So as Nico mentioned, another a bit, founder of developer down, as well as Camira Amos from Viewal Labs and who was also
DevRel at the craft. I'm Emily Lynn from Truffle2. So come learn all things about DevRel. Get some really good solid best practices on how you can grow your DevRel or optimize your DevRel team because it's going to be jam packed with good bits of information.
Amazing, it's going to be a super exciting talk to wrap up the day and then we transition off to the happy hour after that talk. So, you know, if you have questions or things after for the panel, we'll all be hanging around at the venue for for the last hour after
the talk. So come join us for that. David, I see your back. Back. I'm ready to go. Yeah, I'm so excited for all the ecosystem projects that are going to be there, Nico. I will be doing
a short introduction about the state near where right now in terms of the community and growth that we've had which has been incredible for everybody who doesn't know it's been 20x growth in terms of wallets since near con last year so in 12 months actually was less than 12 months this 20x or
And I think it's big wonders to the power of the tech and the team and perhaps more importantly, in fact, I mean, great, certainly more importantly, the projects and the people who are building on and around it. So yes, it's a great opportunity to be able to
If you are coming to the near space, please do come and watch me speak. I promise I will wear that nice blue tracksuit that I very much like. And then we will pass it over to the likes of Octopus and some other wonderful, incredible projects that are building on near.
And you know, after all, not only will celebrate the ecosystem, the growth, but it's a, it's Kate Day on Thursday, right? David.
Hey, it's a big day. Two years old. Two years old since the near protocol man that was fully transitioned to being completely community on and decentralized, right? Like how incredible is that and how look at how much we've done in two years. Imagine where we'll be in two more years and it's things like this.
that our wonderful community put together and only has spanned up with a huge role. In fact, the majority of the work behind this base is here at DevCon, which will just help us keep chasing that boulder, right? And I say that term because if anybody has watched the coin,
documentary on Emerson Primert is probably a beginner from Coinbase. Brian Armstrong says, you know, the first year it was like pushing a boulder of a hill and you had to try and try and try. And then all of a sudden you're chasing the boulder down the hill because he's just going so fast.
And I'm so excited to showcase it when we are at the NIA Space on Thursday. And happy birthday, Neil. Right. Yeah. We're a couple days away from it. So let's better celebrate it. We can speak a little bit about not the space itself, but where we are located, right?
in Bogota at the moment, Claudio, do you have any advice from our Latin perspective here or things that people don't have to miss? Yes, so definitely one of the most important parts here is where, and as David said, we partnered with Blatsey.com which is
largest education platform for Latin America. And this has really opened up the doors to new builders coming in into the ecosystem. So definitely for those that are not English speaking, right? Definitely check out Plattsy.com. They got we have
a certification course for for rust developers there building on top of the near near stock so that's that's a really good one. Now for the most how can I say local side of things here in Bogota I'm not Colombian so
I'm not a Bogotano as they say, but definitely one of the best things that you can check out here is like in sightseeing right? It just is a little bit of sight-note is the Montserrat Church which is sits on top of the the mountain here in Bogota. Definitely check that one
out is worth the trip. Definitely bring in your lungs because you're going to feel the altitude once you're in on the top of the mountain, but you will be able to see the whole city of Boatá. And so that's something not to be missed. Regarding food, there's definitely a lot of things happening in Chappinero.
I think most of the folks here are staying that are not staying in the Corteferia's zone, are over there in Chappinero, so there's definitely a lot of good food there. Definitely great places. And I took you guys out for some of the local cuisine, so definitely, you know, that
the bulletinels can deliver on the cuisine stuff. And I see Matt here. Hopefully we can bring him up as well, Nico, because proximity is also going to have a talk during near space, even though Kendall's not here, I think he's traveling. So anyhow, Matt can say a little bit of
what proximity is going to bring in to the near space as well. All right, in my descent, of course, welcome Matt, welcome Matt, we'll see if he can pop up and say a few words in terms of what we can expect from proximity. Again, if you haven't registered
yet for the event. Check out even thread at the Pagoda profile, Pagoda platform on Twitter just for the second tweet after the twist pace and make sure you register. We're going to be checking for our speed geese. So just a quick reminder, welcome Matt or missing you're here. Yeah, what's up guys? I'm really missing out on I got
But I think Claudia, I'm not sure if you said Kendall wasn't there, but he will be there. So he will be. He's flying here, right? I think I think maybe traveling today. Yeah, but he's definitely going to be at the nearest base on Thursday. So look for him there. He said he was going to be there all day.
Wonderful. What from we expect from Proximity over there? Well, I would just ping him on just the overall narrative and you know the projects that we're working with in the space. Right now it's kind of all about order books. We really just want to have a lot
a lot of successful order book launches. There's a lot of teens doing order books in many different ways. And it's really interesting to us because they're approaching order books from a number of different angles, technically
and just sort of like from a market efficiency point of view. And of course, it's all the amazing things that can be built on top of those order books because they're all built in such a way that can be composable. So we're going to see a lot of really great stuff.
happening on top of those order books like Purps and Options and all sorts of like really cool stuff So just maybe get into a chat with Kendall about about that about the overall kind of like near defi narrative and I know he would love to explain that further
wonderful. Thank you so much. I think there are a ton of things going on in the ecosystem that are honestly exciting. So what better chance to find out about all of them that on site and on the grounds with all these amazing near people? If I do a little checking on all the things that are exciting for everyone that's coming up in the ecosystem,
What have you been seeing this week or last month at Nier that you like to highlight for the ecosystem as we get close to this space? Yeah, for me it's one really exciting thing that's happening is game-fired, right? So like human guild has done a really excellent job.
job of bringing games into the near ecosystem, some land being one of the most outstanding ones right now. I know there's a couple of stealth projects over in the Aurora ecosystem also ready to launch in the next couple of hopefully weeks or maybe months. Game Fies a whole other, it is
a whole different game right no oxymar on there pun intended but definitely for me gam5 is gonna be a really good testing the overall like tech of any layer one right so really exciting to see that one and for this games to push the
the Neurica system and the Eorarchic systems into the next phase of growth, which is still really early days. For me, specifically in Latin America, there's a lot of white space around the NFT space.
We have Nativo NFT who's going to be part of the near launch. We got Burrito Battle as well, which is another game fight launching on near. They're going to be here as well. They're a team from Mexico. So really, really exciting rooting for my homeies. There's also a bunch of
stuff coming in, for example, from Venezuela. They couldn't come here, but they have like a peer-to-peer near, which is something a peer-to-peer token transaction. So with their Venezuela, that's something really big as well. Then we have some good projects that have just came out out of the Plattsy
certification course. So hopefully they're going to be at the event and they're going to be able to showcase. We have one that is to calculate the consumption of solar power cells or solar cells, sorry. And then there's another one to do
follow up on the different initiatives from local governments on chain. So that's another one. And those have just came up out of people hacking with the new JS JavaScript SDK that you guys launched. So this is just to show you
that there are still people, a lot of people interested in building around any blockchain technology right now of course it's near in Aurora but definitely there's a lot of people interested coming in that need to get training and I think education is going to be at the forefront of crypto adoption in LATSAM for sure.
Thank you so much. And I entirely agree with that. We're seeing the impact of those seeds that are being planted, right? With Plot C, even recently as well, the free code camp partnership with Nier and dropping the course. It's a wide array of resources that are built by us, the communities
the everybody participating in the ecosystem and that widen up the door to welcome more people to build on web thing, not just near, right? And especially in Latin America where the diversity of tech people that we have is vast and talented as well as great, so we're seeing a lot of
projects like this, like cloud use, mentioning popping up. David, same question. What's getting you excited about the New York system? You'll be highlighting a couple of them, but where are your personal picks here for the week? I think the most exciting thing is
And we've seen it with sweat corn, right? There's no way that we're going to get a billion users when they have to use got a mask already have to use bullets on the level as much as I'm going to get it. It's impossible. But near and the tech that has been built, particularly with the upcoming NEP366 which enables meta transactions.
abstract all of that with all of these hurdles. You don't need to be a computer scientist to understand the public and drive the key. You don't need to download an amount. You don't need to write down your secrets sometimes. But I'm incredible.
will be when we can leverage the blockchain tech. On the back end, yes, we'll still have the DJ's, we'll still have the NFT profile pictures, all of that. That culture is still there and it's only going to grow. But to get to a million people, we need to make it easier and that's exactly what he is doing. And that's why
really floats my boat. Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing it. I see we got Aida joining us as well. Yeah, I invited her to speak so either from the near Balkans hub and
So definitely either welcome to, is it your first trip to Latin America or maybe Colombia? Actually, actually not, but I am not there, I'm not there physically, but I'm following online.
Perfect. Well, I know members from the Balkan teams are here, right? So yeah, yeah, a couple of them are right. So you're gonna be definitely seeing them around.
Wonderful. It's going to be great to connect those regions as well. Even we have people from CryptoBalley, right Cloudio, joining us as well, along the event.
Yeah, so really excited to bring in crypto valley association latum chapter, right? So for those of you not familiar with crypto valley Crypto valley association is one of the longest running NGOs focused on Basically lobbying for crypto projects in
in this case in Switzerland. And they're extending their interest not only in Europe or in the US, but specifically in Latin America. So Patricia Savala is one of the co-share for the Latam chapter, co-sharing with
me. So we're pushing the Crypto Valley Association, Latin chapter in the next couple of months. We got some really exciting news that are going to be coming. And definitely the idea here is we will, and this is something that happened yesterday.
at ETH Latin, right? There was like a regulatory panel discussion. So in the conversations with regulators here in Latin has been to be honest, the surprising, right? They're open to having those conversations. We've seen countries such as Ensalva, or really
pushing the boundaries on what crypto adoption looks like. And actually the team from Athena, who implemented all the ATMs, the Chibo wallet in El Salvador, they're based in Bogota. So really excited to
hopefully they're going to be coming in to the near space and you guys and a lot of people from the ecosystem from the near and aurora ecosystems can meet them because definitely there's a lot of things we can work and learn from from other ecosystems which I think it's it's imperative for us to continue moving forward.
wonderful and it's super important to highlight those bridges and making those connections, you know, not only coming to DEF CON, coming to Bogota, a special event, but what it means as well is that, you know, we're building those connections across the regions, I'm putting a spotlight on other regions that are, you know, building
a lot of interesting things as well. As we spoke on the last query space, it's not wrong. It has so many different use cases and contexts that can provide not only creativity but a refreshing to the things and kind of projects that we've seen in crypto so far.
with the centralizing of the production of DABs products and new opportunities from the classic NAV vision towards a wider spectrum as we see not only in LATAM but the APOC region everywhere. It's super interesting to build this bridges.
David, it's your first time in Latam, right as well, and so far so good. It's been probably a wonderful exposure to all the projects that you've seen so far at Ith Latam, and now DevCon today in the rest of the afternoon.
There seems to be an overlap there. Sorry.
Yeah, much of them playing there, Spaniard. So hey, well, I'm okay. Yes, look, one there's been absolutely brilliant to me so far. You read all these horror stories so far in my experience, you know, none have led to be true.
But I do feel safe walking around here. You know, just having a witz about you and I'm so excited to see all the incredible Latin American best filters in the New York Times. I knew there was a ton, but I didn't know there was this many.
Definitely there's so many OGs from the Web 3 in general in Latam. So the stories are there and we'll see them some are even coming to the nearest space. Let's do another round of housekeeping in terms of the event. If you haven't already, do so please at the event right page and confirm your assistance.
There are a ton of people registered so far and we'll do our best to do the rounds. There will be checkups at the door of the venue for RSPPs. Make sure you cover that front. We'll have the buses from the DevCon venue as well.
going back and forth to the new space and that will continue to go along the afternoon and as the space is filled up, welcome Christian. Hello. Yeah, I brought in Christian. So Christian is part of the new Spano education team. He's going to be presenting
with loose at the event. Wanted to bring him up. So because tomorrow we have a great event with Blatsey, Christian is going to be there presenting as well. And go ahead Christian, please introduce yourself. And it's time to chill about education on here. Yeah, thank you so much, Club. Sorry guys, I was very fast.
in the hotel. So, there is a reason why we are not here. Well, I think there's a lot of hype around here in Bogota. And, well, we're going to be here talking about education and all the stuff that we are doing here in the Spanish like certification, how many developers we have
building here near how many projects were built in the time from near since Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, all that stuff that we are making here in Spanish with Luis Margarita and all the dedication team and well we have a big collaboration with Platzi that is
education, community and platform here in Latam. So we have a near developer program with Platzi where we start teaching 100 developers around the JavaScript SDK in here and we start building applications with the developers too.
So we are going to start tomorrow and even with Platzi showing to the community what Latam can do and what Latam can build with near two. Sorry, I have a little sore throat today. No problem, thank you so much.
for sure and get. We are preparing for all these talks and presentations so we gotta take care of ourselves a little bit. It's fine, it's gonna be a long week kicking off the events and as we said, we have on the 12th this plant's in New York event on the 13th the New Year's space at Defcom Bogota.
And then at the afternoon of that same day, we have the InSwenio event hosted by Aurora. Aurora couldn't join us fully today, but they will be present as well in both events, sharing you know what tools you can use to build on near with full EVM compatibility and how you can scale your Ethereum Dabs
you know, on this amazing EVM that's running on a smart contract on Nier. If you want to learn a little bit about that as well, and the text that's coming related to that, come join us at the new space. And I think we are, you know, our time to go at that section that David instructed us in terms of like,
Let's save a couple of minutes at the end. Let's give five to each of the hosts for the David's sponsor section, which is, you know, "Shill a little bit of what you want to talk and what you want to share." So with Cloud in the rest of the team, so if you want to give it a go, Cloudy, I'll kick it off. Yeah, thank you very much.
much. So for me, the chilling part is more about come meet the new ecosystem, right? That's why we're here in Bogota, definitely getting to know the builders around Latam, that's super important, that gone, and not only in Latam, right? I saw a lot of builders coming in from Africa
a lot of scholars came in through the Atrium Foundation. So really keen on talking to other folks from other parts of the region. A lot of Southeast Asia, I met a lot of people there, so really important to keep it open and more importantly, just understand
What are the struggles that other other projects are going through? And if there's any way you can help out that definitely lend a hand, right? I feel like totally grateful to be launching a liquid-saking solution last year when it was just in its first early stages.
for liquid-staking platforms and we're grateful that Metapole is leading liquid-staking solution on near Aurora. Definitely come to us if you want to partner, if you feel that you can leverage our liquid token as t-near. We definitely want to talk to you guys. We will have a stand during the near space event.
island is going to be there and definitely myself as well. I'll be running around a little bit, the organizing this, but definitely island is going to be there and just look out for the medical t-shirt guys and definitely talk to us and keen to just collaborate and see any way we can help, right? And very importantly, like I
G is going to be there. They're one of our backers and so definitely if you need introductions to them, please reach out to me directly. They're going to be there at the event. Gorkhan and I always forget how to spell her name, but she's
going to be at the BC panel as well. So definitely there's going to be a lot of opportunities for people that are interested in getting funded. So definitely come to the New York space event. You will have the opportunity to pitch to BC's there. So anyhow, thank you very much, Nico, for the space as well for hosting us today.
No no problem at all. Thank you all. David, any last thoughts to drop on the table?
Because it's an area of building on a theorem. So I'm gonna have a laugh. Whatever it is, just moving on, right? Because we talked about the importance of education and this is just another one of it. And I'm so excited to meet each and every one of you building a future of the open web regardless of what Chan you chose.
Wonderful. Thank you so much. And you know, this doesn't stop at this event. We have, you know, again, to do a little recap, the 12 of the Plats in near event on the 13th, the near space. Don't forget to RSV to be to both of them and then continuing that if you want to continue building.
There's Meta Bill going on the biggest hack online hackathon on near Everything's running up until November and you'll keep seeing us around on these events, but right now we can wrap this up for the day and Get let everyone you know start hitting the ground at DEF CON whoever's here
and the rest go back to the rest of the day and enjoy the New York system. It's going to be an amazing week as we lead up to Thursday the event and overall as in Defcon week. Again, it's super important that we all connect with these other ecosystems. Christian, you want to drop a line?
Sorry, but they make a problem just in case I was checking, but yeah, as we connect with, you know, regardless of the ecosystem you're building, you'll see a lot of complimentary tech around the floor. As Claudia said,
even with the talks with Santiago and Milwaukee, there are concepts that are agnostic to the chain and they provide value to everybody. Most of the things that not go wrong but you know that could have gone better as well, it's part of looking back into the history of Web 3 and crypto overall and the
learnings for the people that have been here for a while and building on top of those things as well without looking aside towards innovation. We're going to be doing both of those things today and the rest of the week. So see you all at DevCon, see you at the near space, RSVT, I can't stress this enough.
It's gonna be a wall day. There's a lot of people and we hope to see you there and Yeah, and just for for some some final alpha Christian you want to discuss these scholarships that were that near foundation through plaps you are giving out
Yeah, sure. Well, with Blatsy we are giving scholarships with developers that have started building with the JavaScript SDK and also in the event that we have tomorrow with near and Blatsy we are going to start giving scholarships to start learning with Blatsy in Blatsy with happy
of course to learn and near with Rust. So it's an opportunity where 150 developers or people that joins to Platzi are starting learning in your platform and start learning with near two in the introduction to near Rust's course with we have in the platform.
