With merely five months remaining, we are stepping into the exciting phase leading up to Devcon! The Supporter Program, Impact Forum<\/a>, and Devcon Scholars<\/a> have been launched, bringing us nearer to the Devcon ticket release.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, we will disclose how to acquire your Devcon tickets. Furthermore, we are unveiling the programming tracks for Devcon SEA!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TL;DR:<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaker applications will commence on July 9.<\/strong> You can explore the various programming tracks at this moment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Devcon encompasses topics and themes that are pivotal in the Ethereum ecosystem at present, addressing hurdles, ongoing advancements, and fundamental Ethereum principles. The tracks will include presentations, workshops, panels, and more, tailored to both novice and expert participants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visit our website for additional details on programming at Devcon 7 in SEA.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, we\u2019re aiming to make Devcon more accessible than ever before.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tickets for Devcon 7 will be obtainable through three unique methods:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more insights on each of the aforementioned, read below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just like we did for Devcon VI, we\u2019ll again conduct an on-chain Raffle-Auction as our initial ticket wave. We want to continue showcasing Ethereum’s potential to facilitate verifiably fair and transparent Raffles & Auctions, while broadening the strategies we employ to allocate tickets to the many thousands desiring to attend each year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 204 tickets<\/strong> will be made available in this year’s Raffle-Auction. The top 20 bids will prevail in the Auction<\/strong>. Those who place the Minimum Bid or do not succeed in winning the auction will enter the raffle for a chance to win one of 184 Devcon tickets being distributed<\/strong>. Thus, we aim for the distribution outcome to be around 10% efficient and 90% fair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A huge thank you to the Fairy<\/a> & Archblock<\/a> teams for dedicating their efforts to the success of this year\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Network<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 Arbitrum<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Minimum Bid<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 0.08 ETH (equivalent to the $299 cost of a discounted Builder Ticket at the time of publication).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All funds raised from the Auction above the reserve price will be utilized to assist individuals in attending Devcon through funding programs such as the EF Next Billion Scholars program<\/a> and other Devcon initiatives<\/strong>. If you bid above the reserve price but do not succeed<\/strong> in the auction, you will automatically be directed into theRaffle for a pass. If you succeed in the Raffle, you will have the ability to withdraw all funds exceeding the Reserve price. If you do not succeed in either the Raffle or the Auction, you will be able to withdraw all of your funds. Similar to the previous occasion, one fortunate winner<\/strong><\/em> will obtain a complimentary Golden Ticket to Devcon & will be able to withdraw all of their funds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, we are utilizing Gitcoin Passport<\/a><\/strong> to introduce a reliable sybil-resistance mechanism to the Raffle-Auction. You will need to sign into your Passport<\/strong> OR create one<\/a><\/strong> & validate your stamps to engage<\/strong> in this year\u2019s Raffle-Auction ticket phase.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bidding Period \u2014 June 18 – July 9<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, there will be various opportunities to acquire discounted tickets:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Complete details will become available on July 9 when the remaining ticketing information will be disclosed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our GA ticket sales will start on July 16<\/strong>, with each wave launching at 16:00 UTC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will accept payments in Fiat through Stripe, as well as crypto via an open-source Pretix plugin developed by the 3cities team<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be among the first to learn about ways to engage with Devcon, when volunteer and speaker applications open, and ticket sales commence through our newsletter<\/a>, on Farcaster<\/a>, X\/Twitter<\/a>, Lens<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
