ETH Community Conference — Paris
Welcome back as we recap everything that went down in Paris for the Ethereum Community Conference (ETH CC)! But first off, what is it?
ETH CC is a prominent annual gathering that unites members of the Ethereum ecosystem, including developers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts. This conference serves as a vital platform for sharing knowledge, discussing advancements, and fostering collaborations within the Ethereum community.
Participants engage in a diverse range of activities, including technical presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions. ETH CC offers insights into the latest developments in Ethereum tech, smart contracts, dApps, and other blockchain innovation. With a global reach, ETH CC plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Ethereum by facilitating meaningful interactions and promoting the exchange of ideas among its passionate and forward-thinking participants.
We at EduDAO, were thrilled to be apart of it and share in the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem by hosting networking sessions and some fun events which you’ll see below!
Top Events:
Mantle announced the release of their Mainnet while at ETH CC! This is an exciting step forward for modular blockchain scalability. We are stoked to see where this takes our friends at Mantle and we are hoping for some rewards for early-adopters and testers :)
We hosted an ice cream party, a pizza party, and a Boba tea party so students could network with each other and top protocols in a fun, casual environment! The turnout was great and everyone had a blast!
Did someone say, pizza?!
After all the junk food, we of course had to work it off by playing some friendly football with the community! The highlight reel in the tweet below is a must watch. EduDAO has tried to incorporate some friendly football matches in various locations around the world as students gather for crypto events. It has always been a great way to get some exercise, blow off the stress of hacking, and being able to bond with peers over things other than crypto!
