Abstract:
Ethereum Mexico is a driving force for Ethereum growth in Mexico, educating individuals on blockchain technology and promoting Ethereum values. Serving as a link between the Ethereum community, the Ethereum Foundation, and Mexico’s local communities.
Our organization offers IRL Meetups, Twitter Spaces, Workshops, and educational content. One of their major 2023 initiatives is a large event in Mexico City, set for October 21st, expecting over 800 attendees. This event aims to foster education and innovation within the Ethereum community.
Having engaged in events like, ETHMexico, #RoadToDevcon and EthLATAM since June 2022, Ethereum Mexico wants to move beyond just market talk and truly display Ethereum’s transformative power.

Motivation:
The project is fueled by a pressing need to fill the educational and resource gap in Mexico concerning Ethereum and blockchain technology. It aims to create a more inclusive and diverse Ethereum community in Mexico, thereby contributing to the global Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum Mexico is not just another crypto initiative; it’s a mission-driven project that focuses on real-world impact. Far from falling into speculative conversations, it aims to educate people about the transformative power of Ethereum as public infrastructure.
Primary Objectives:
- To educate individuals about the safe and effective use of blockchain technology, focusing on the Ethereum ecosystem.
- To disseminate the core values and tools of Ethereum and Web3 to a broader audience.
- To provide unwavering support and assistance to local communities in conceptualizing, building, and scaling Ethereum-related projects.
- Establishing strong collaborations with the Arbitrum Foundation and other key stakeholders in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Format of the event:
Our one-day event will feature a diverse range of talks, workshops, and community showcases. With its significance in the local Web3 scene, we anticipate the event will generate substantial activity in Mexico City, including various side events. Leading up to the main event, we will also host multiple gatherings in different cities to foster networking among local communities.
