Ethereum DAPP development coding workshop: In this 4-hour workshop hosted by Shannon Clarke, a software developer at Polymath, you will get hands-on experience with Ethereum DAPP development which is a great introduction to Blockchain & Smart Contract programming.

Future of Organization 2-day workshop: Back in December, we conducted research funded through Alchemy, DAOstack’s decentralize fund, to figure out if a decentralized organization could have potential benefits for Curaçao and concluded there that there are multiple instances where this could be the case. In this 2-day workshop, we will further explore this idea and take the first step towards creating a Decentralized Autonomous Organization in Curaçao.

In the first day, we will introduce you to the tools and thought processes that can help us shape a better more decentralized future. With the newly acquired knowledge about decentralized organizations and ideas about how to improve Curaçao, we will use several tested methods to design a DAO that creates sustainable development for Curaçao. Together with the developers present, we will be able to sketch out the technological needs and take the first steps towards creating the first DAO in the Caribbean!

Curaçao Blockchain Week is an open initiative for the community by the community. We invite all organizations and individuals to get involved and organize blockchain related events and activities during this week.

We hope to see you there,
