LFG!!!

  • Devcon is a primer event with builders from all over the world.
  • Cost-sharing makes a lot of sense and having other projects creates a network effect on the potential to draw builders and key stakeholders and makes the event less costly.
  • I really want to meet other DAO members in person.

Will the entrance be free or have a cost? will the Shutter community have priority in the ticketing?

It will be a free entry event given there will be quite some competing events, but of course we will share the registration form (Luma link ) with DAO members first
