Our Background: Launched in October 2021, CryptoConexión is not just a platform, but a community of communities. As a trusted companion to the thriving blockchain, crypto, Web3 and AI space in Latin America, we're united by a collective ambition to empower, educate, and innovate. Our collaboration with other educational projects in the region reflects our deep commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable Web3 ecosystem.

Our mission is rooted in the principles of the public goods and has three core priorities:

  1. Providing Multilingual Resources: Offering over 100 free tutorials in Spanish, enriched by a growing portfolio in Portuguese, we're opening doors to knowledge across languages. We are also leveraging AI and created our very own ChatGPT named “Connie” the Web3 expert, she only uses content from our site to answer questions.

  2. Celebrating Latino Builders and Communities: By amplifying and connecting Latino builders, communities, and projects, we're nurturing innovation and leadership within the region.

  3. Promoting Gender Inclusivity: Our dedicated effort to close the gender gap has led to an impressive 46% female participation between January and July of this year.

CryptoConexión's resources include more than 100 tutorials in Spanish, a grants directory with 250+ listings, and a course directory with 200+ courses. By working hand-in-hand with other educational projects, we spend many hours guiding, mentoring, and supporting growth. We're more than a platform; we're a community-driven catalyst for change.

We are about information, inspiration and collaboration. Through educational content and compelling narratives, we champion the technological advancement of the region, ensuring everyone's active participation. Join us in our mission to inspire, empower, and connect. Your support will enable us to continue to strive as a resource for all, as we leave a lasting, positive impact on the Latin American technological landscape.
