Since 2019, I’ve remained committed to one goal: advocating for Web3 as a fundamental element of innovation and inclusivity throughout Latin America. Balancing various roles—Incubation Program Coordinator, ambassador for several blockchain projects, and blockchain education content creator—I’ve dedicated myself to fostering a decentralized future.

Upon receiving the invitation to join as a scholar at Devcon 2024, it seemed like entering a portal of limitless change.

Bangkok Revealed: A Palette of Concepts and Creativity

Envision a cosmos where every dialogue brims with possibility, each meeting reveals transformative viewpoints, and creativity vibrates in every area. That’s Devcon—much more than just a conference, it’s an active ecosystem of concepts reshaping the framework of interaction in the Web3 realm.

Simplicity Revealed: The Ethereum ecosystem Tomorrow

An essential workshop, “Who Requires a Wallet Anyway?”, imagined a blockchain effortlessly integrated into everyday life:

Invisible Wallets: Merging into the surroundings like murmurs in the breeze.Biometric Security: Merging elegance with ease of access.

Session Locks: Simplifying transactions to be seamless, user-friendly, and safe.These discussions transformed blockchain from a theoretical issue into a reality seamlessly woven into the digital experience.

Connecting TradFi and DeFi: Merging the Traditional and the Modern

The session “Connecting TradFi and DeFi” demonstrated Ethereum's function in merging traditional finance with the decentralized realm. It wasn't theoretical language—it focused on practical uses: Providing financial services to those without bank access.Creating resources that assist financial organizations in smoothly managing regulatory environments. This went beyond mere connection—it involved breaking down barriers to build a unified and inclusive financial system.

Human-Focused Web3: Creating for Individuals, Not Merely Technology

In “Web3 User Research 101,” attention was directed towards the human factor influencing adoption. By engaging in interactive activities, participants explored:

  • Empathetic Conversations: Accessing user hopes and ambitions.
  • Precision Roadmaps: Pinpointing challenges with acute precision.

Loyalty Engineering: Integrating reliability and user-friendliness into the core of the product.

These insights emphasized that creating Web3 is not solely about technology—it revolves around prioritizing people.

The Following Billion: An Urgent Request for Engagement

Devcon 2024 echoed with a powerful question: How can we accommodate a billion new users? From groundbreaking UX discoveries by Picnic to progress in account abstraction, the path ahead was obvious:

Simplicity and Accessibility: Quickness, cost-effectiveness, and self-direction are now essential.

Developing Wallets: Instruments need to be user-friendly, safe, and widely reachable. These are not just improvements; they are essential pillars for a decentralized future.

A sincere thank you to the Ethereum Foundation: your backing turned Devcon into a source of inspiration. The relationships I’ve built and insights I’ve gained will influence my contributions for many years ahead. Together, we’re not only envisioning the future—we’re creating it, piece by piece.

Cheers to the path that lies ahead, and to reconnecting at the upcoming Devcon. Let’s continue to shatter obstacles, innovate fearlessly, and illuminate the path for billions to partake in this remarkable movement.
