Hi cool kids 🏴☠️

Unlike 15 days ago, it finally feels like summer in France. If you’re not in France, close your eyes and imagine sunshine, no clouds, and overheated computers! We hope you can picture our current mood. 🌞

Several topics to detail: the EthCC in Paris, the future builders meeting, our progress on Berty…

Enjoy your reading 🙃

EthCC[4] in Paris

This week was held the EthCC in Paris. The Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) is considered the biggest Ethereum event in Europe. The EthCC is organized every year by Ethereum France’s association, aiming to promote the understanding and development of Ethereum blockchain technology and, more broadly, blockchain, peer-to-peer, and cryptography technologies.

We were able to participate in several side events like those organized by our friends from SkillZ. It was of very high quality. We’ll tell you more about it in a future blog post!

Berty Builders Meetings

After Steeve from Zenly, we are pleased to have Dietrich from Protocol Labs as our next guest. His talk is entitled “No Bigger Ship: IPFS and Strategies for Leverage in World-Scale Technology Adoption”. It’s quite a topic!

As usual, this event will be live on our Discord . Make sure to join!
