GHOing to a New Market: ETHTokyo

April 14th - 16th 2023

OVERVIEW

Summary

ETHGlobal Tokyo (ETHTokyo) was the second event since AGD’s fourth renewal in January 2023 and was the first AGD-sponsored event to take place in Asia. Initially included in AGD’s latest governance proposal, it was the first in-person hackathon sponsored since the renewal and the first time hackers have been encouraged to build on GHO.

AGD hosted a booth during the hackathon weekend and facilitated and judged hackathon submissions for projects building on Aave.

Personnel

At the booth from AGD were Bill and Migi. Aave Co also had a delegation of nine people who were dedicated to supporting the Aave booth, including founder Stani Kulechov.

• 10 grantees engaged in-person
• 21 hackathon projects submitted for building on Aave & GHO
• $6k awarded to top 3 projects building on Aave & GHO
