Community:

The Ethereum Venezuela Community is a passionate collective that drives the adoption of Ethereum in the country through education, events, and collaboration, Our goal is to drive the crypto ecosystem in the country and build an innovation ecosystem that gives way to the creation of community hubs for the promotion of community micro-entrepreneurship and community projects focused on real solutions and web3 case studies for each participating location.

What: We aim to hold events that boost the onboarding of Venezuelans to the crypto ecosystem, taking a special emphasis on those who are starting their way; offering the necessary tools for Web3 and Ethereum to have a real utility adapted to their contexts.

On the other hand, we want to focus on the number of builders and developers in the country, with activities such as courses, hackhatons or bootcamps, where dozens of participants will learn from the basics to specialized topics such as solidity.

Where: Inside and outside Venezuela. During DEVCON VI we had the opportunity to meet hundreds of Venezuelans who make a living in the technology industry who want to be an active part of the Ethereum Venezuela community.

When: This community project aims to have a duration of one year.

How: We have defined 3 areas of action: Online community building and creation of educational materials. Face-to-face learning sessions and web3 onboarding to vulnerable communities. Promotion and education around the Ethereum ecosystem for technical profiles (developers and related).

Why: During DEVCON VI we noticed that there is a need to take the Ethereum community beyond the capital region, currently there are many people around the country that thanks to digital media have access to this information and with the necessary support could build the future of web3 for Venezuela and the region.

Our goal is to directly impact the lives of 500 people over a year of activities, however, the indirect impact this could bring to our community is incalculable. We hope to hold workshops, community gatherings, hackhatons and bootcamps.

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Cryptocuriosas community in the launch and distribution of the 'Crypto Creatives' Coloring Book project in Venezuela, which provides an educational approach to early childhood crypto and blockchain education. We expect it to directly impact the education of the children of people in the crypto ecosystem, with the potential for scalability for community education.

We also hope to have the opportunity to provide scholarships for key team members to participate in events such as ETH Latam and Devconnect, as well as other major ecosystem events. By promoting your participation in these events, we provide a way to recognize your value and effort for the growth of our community, and the visibility of Venezuelan talent in events with global reach.

Your contribution will not only have a lasting impact by empowering this new generation of ecosystem leaders but will also foster a more inclusive and vibrant web3 community.
