I've missed Devcon twice
This year, I don't want to just attend.
I want to find the builders, hackers, creators and weird experiments happening around Devcon the stories that don't make it onto the main stage.
So I made this, showing up publicly and creating
See you in Mumbai โ at New Delhi, India

Our booth neighbours @growthepie_eth taking their pitch straight to Vitalik ๐ญ
why pitch to visitors when you can pitch directly to the co-founder

Right before @EFDevcon , we asked @aditichoprax a few questions about the Arbitrum ecosystem.
One of them was about how the OpenHouse initiative at @arbitrum attracts quality projects and supports long-term founders.....
More questions coming soon....
Just checked out the @noderails booth at @ETHGlobal!
They're tackling some real challenges in crypto payments. Seamless checkout, stablecoin settlements and chargebacks. Really cool stuff!
Also, @wallcardapp looks promising.
@chiefmohitbhat #NRL #NodeRails
Here we go again....
Day 3 at Devcon and I just caught up with @growthepie_eth and chatted onchain analytics with @TrueWaveBreak
I'll be posting some good stuff soon....

Good day to @EFDevcon 2nd Day, we are busy with our interview with the topic of "How can we lead Ethereum into a more uniform structure" in our Aggregation Hub with @EthPrague
Catch us in the upcoming days!
Had a great chat with @rusruletj about @tbc_munich, liquidity fragmentation, aggregation hubs, and more at @EFDevcon ....
I'll post it soon
gm gm!
We volunteer crew is ready to welcome you at @EFDevcon....
Registration is opening reaaally soon...
The plan was to just go for a run.
But somehow, we ended up running, meeting new people, grabbing food, dancing, and turning Carter Road Social into a mini rave. ๐
Run & Rave Mumbai made for a different kind of Sunday!
I loved the energy, the people, and the community that showed up.
I also got introduced to MYLE by @fhenix , an FHE powered running app that tracks your runs while keeping your fitness data encrypted.
Fitness meets privacy, A pretty cool combination. ๐

Some of the best things in Web3 happen when you simply show up.
I've met some amazing people along the way. @suraj_sharma14, @Adityakr and @HAPPYS1NGH are among the best people I've met offstage. Today, they're part of almost every build.
nd still waiting to meet the best @luisreve85 offstage!
That's what PASS IT ON means to me.
Someone helped you, shared an opportunity, made an introduction or answered your questions. Now it's your turn to do the same for someone else.
That's the spirit we're bringing to [OFFSTAGE] with @VaraNetwork.
Come meet, connect, share ideas and find people to build with.
You never know which conversation could change your journey.
Someone passed it on to you.
Now PASS IT ON.
@GediyaPoorvesh @CryptoPraveen70 @surajdeploys @0xAdnan14 @its_punit05 @theBuilder_base @Krew3HQ @Lucknow_DAO
I don't really like hosting events but
but I keep thinking about what happened when I showed up to my first crypto event back in lucknow
that's where I met @HAPPYS1NGH for the very first time we've been good friends ever since. I didn't know it then, but showing up that day brought someone into my life who would stay
and that's the part that makes me want to do this
over time, I've met so many people here online and eventually got to meet them in person like (best @luisreve85). It feels different when you finally sit together and talk properly you get past the posts and profiles and hear what they're building, what they're struggling with, and what they've learned along the way
I've learned a lot through those conversations. I've also made plenty of mistakes myself things i misunderstood, decisions I'd make differently now, lessons that took longer than they probably needed to.
I'm still figuring a lot of it out but if something I've learned can help someone avoid a mistake I made, or feel a little less lost, I want to share it
because none of us figured everything out alone
someone answered your first question
someone made an introduction when you knew nobody
It's easy to forget how much those little things mattered once you start finding your feet but i think about how different my own experience could have been if people hadn't made time for me.
I want to be that person for someone else and if someone did that for you, I hope you'll pass it on too
@HAPPYS1NGH @unabrijed @Shashwat_web3 @suraj_sharma14 @zeeshan_utd @AroraBhavyam @Charchit_WEB3 @Cedric0x @PrakharOjha4 @simranvardam and everyone else I've met along the way, thank you for the conversations, the advice, and the friendships ๐
that's the spirit of [OFFSTAGE] by @VaraNetwork
come meet the team and fellow builders. bring something you're working on, a question you've been sitting with, or just yourself
let's learn from each other, explore opportunities, and figure out what comes next together maybe you'll find someone to build with maybe you'll leave with a clearer idea of what you want to do maybe you'll make a friend, the way I did back in lucknow.
that would mean a lot to me
this is a community gathering, and you're part of what makes it worth showing up for
whatever helped you get here, make a little room for someone else to find it too
PASS IT ON, Event Link ๐
My friends and I after a 6k run.
Does this scene look familiar to you?
