Esteemed Ethereum adventurers,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updates are on the way one<\/a> after<\/a> another<\/a> as we inch closer to Devcon. Today, we are excited to declare the initiation of a quadratic funding round for SEA communities through clr.fund<\/a>!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are witnessing the enthusiasm and grassroots momentum in Southeast Asia flourish and have experienced the fervor of local builders firsthand during our SEA tour in April.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A remarkable initiative: Quadratic funding for SEA communities \ud83d\udc4f<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Southeast Asian Ethereum groups are coordinating a quadratic funding round in collaboration with clr.fund specifically tailored for the region! The Devcon team takes pride in backing this initiative by contributing 30,000 USD to the matching pool. This funding approach underscores the significance of community selection, empowering the preferences of community members to shape the allocation of resources.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Support local communities in SEA, and make your donation today. The 30K USD matching pool will enhance your contribution.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you need a refresher on quadratic funding and its functioning, here’s a fantastic explanation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Journey to Devcon Southeast Asia \ud83c\udf0f<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In April, we met diverse communities in Hanoi \ud83c\uddfb\ud83c\uddf3, Bangkok \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\udded, Chiang Mai \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\udded, Kuala Lumpur \ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfe, Phnom Penh \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\udded, Jakarta \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\udde9, Manila \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded, and Singapore \ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddec. Each organized gatherings and united Ethereum community members in their distinctive styles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We observed young learners intrigued by open-source technologies, community leaders collaborating to devise strategies for advancing Ethereum development, crowded meetups (despite the national holiday period!) during Songkran<\/a>, and a surge of vibrant energy and enthusiasm celebrating the accomplishments of community members.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the Road to Devcon (RTD)? \ud83d\udee3\ufe0f<\/h2>\n
