Unfortunately, the Covid-19 crisis, a decentralized emergency in its own right, put all our plans on hold. And while the pandemic may prevent us from shaking hands and engaging offline, it certainly can’t stop us from being the same strong community online.
We’re putting our resources forward to support issues that impact all of us, beginning with charitable actions that so many around the world need immediately. Fight Covid-19 is a fundraising event dedicated to helping 12 global nonprofits with a collective $100,000 contribution. We’re going to be distributing funds using quadratic funding and CLR so every dollar counts, please join the cause, if you can.
In these adverse times, the wonderful teams at Coindesk and ConsenSys proved the human ingenuity, resilience and adaptability that sit at the core of the blockchain community. Due to the passionate people that create Consensus and Ethereal year after year, we are now able to reinvent the New York Blockchain Week experience through the New York Blockchain Week Hackathon – free, online and safe for everybody.
