The \u201ccommunity initiatives\u201d we observe across the ecosystem tend to be funded by specific organizations which may not truly represent the community. \n\nOur project has already demonstrated its ability to start meaningful discussions and healthy debate on issues in the space.  A year after the first meeting, we had successfully organized 19 sessions covering topics such as cross-chain protocols, assets on Bitcoin, and parallelized blockchains. On average, we have 30-40 people attend each session, and our club has steadily grown through word of mouth to 240 amazing engineers, ecosystem builders, and friends.\n\nWe strive for deep discussions and learning by being open and unbiased. Members vote on topics, and sessions are round-table-styled discussions, that anyone can join. We also do not promote or sell products to our community. Instead, we focus solely on creating value for our members through collective learning.\n\nThrough everyone\u2019s contributions, we have created something special and the community thus-far is a proof-of-concept of what could be. We hope to improve how sessions are run, empower communities out of Singapore to also create the WPRC experience, and to engage with those outside of web3 in our discussions as they are fundamentally a part of the communities we all are in as well.
