Devcon 2024 & ETHGlobal Bangkok highlights

If you were conferencing in Bangkok last week, or living vicariously through CT, no doubt you've heard many stories about death-defying motorbike maneuvers, the best socks for rain survival (OP - the creators of Superchain AND Supersocks 🔴 🧦), and sampled more than your fair share of sticky rice and sweet mango.

We'll save our adventure stories for another day....and quickly share a few numbers, highlights, and pictures from another great conference and hackathon!

Devcon & event talks

We attended some great Devcon talks and stayed up-to-date on the latest onchain happenings. As a dev-focused conference, Blockscout developers were excited to learn and share our latest research with the best and brightest!

ETHGlobal hackathon

Devcon was the perfect warmup to our biggest hackathon to date, ETHGlobal Bangkok. Over 2750 hackers and 713 teams were in attendance, and almost 300 projects chose to incorporate Blockscout into their apps! We had a great time meeting all of the up-and-coming coders and seeing so many creative ideas come to life over the 3 day hack.

Tweets and goodbyes
