We have undertaken various initiatives to achieve this goal.\n\nI have published 10 articles, conducted 5 podcast interviews, and hosted 3 Twitter Space events, all with the primary aim of introducing Gitcoin Grants and the Quadratic Funding mechanism to our audience.

Furthermore, we have actively promoted Gitcoin grant rounds by hosting Twitter spaces to facilitate discussions and engage the community.\n\nLooking ahead, I have exciting plans for the future. Blocktrend is set to organize quarterly member gatherings. In December 2023, we are proud to announce sponsorship from Google Taiwan for our second member gathering, to be held at the iconic Taipei 101, Taiwan's tallest building. \n\nIn 2024, we are expanding our content repertoire to include YouTube videos, providing in-depth insights into Gitcoin and the principles behind Quadratic Funding.
