EMpower by Lisk, Optimism & Gelato: Driving Emerging Market Adoption on Ethereum @ Devcon 🇹🇭
About the Event
We’re setting the stage for a night of lively discussions and new connections, focused on exploring the topic: How can we bring emerging market adoption onto Ethereum and unlock the transformative potential it brings to the ecosystem?
Organized by Lisk and supported by Optimism and Gelato, this event will gather trailblazers and thought leaders who have made significant contributions in propelling Ethereum’s growth in emerging markets - from Southeast Asia to Africa.
As the sun sets over the city, we'll kick off with engaging talks and panel discussions to discuss important topics such as the current landscape of emerging market builders, exciting use cases driving real-world adoption, what L2s can do to unlock adoption in emerging markets for Ethereum and more.
This event also marks the eve of Lisk's User Mainnet launch, as we embark on our journey to bring emerging market adoption to back to Ethereum as the home for real world applications.
