My journey with Gitcoin began as a grant recipient via CryptoConexion, evolving into a multifaceted role encompassing education, project coordination, and active community participation. \n\nThrough my project, CryptoConexion which launched October 31, 2021, I have dedicated myself to demystifying blockchain technology. Since being introduced to Gitcoin , we have been fostering the adoption of Gitcoin\u2019s initiatives, contributing significantly towards building a resilient and knowledgeable Web3 community.\n\nContribution to Gitcoin's Essential Intents:\n\nNetwork Effects:\nMy project, CryptoConexion, stands at the forefront of welcoming newcomers into the Web3 space and accompanying them in their journey. We have successfully onboarded numerous individuals and projects into the Gitcoin ecosystem, directly contributing to the expansion of product adoption. A testament to this effort is the coordination of a Gitcoin funding round designed to incentivize the creation of innovative Web3 tools. This initiative not only spurred project participation but also played a critical role in enhancing the ecosystem's network effects, aligning perfectly with Gitcoin\u2019s goal of growth through collaboration.\n\nKey to the work we do is also ensure there is gender inclusion, which is why we were one of the co-founding members of WAGMI LATAM, an initiative to onboard Latinas to Web3. In addition, we are proud to say that approximately 47% of visitors to CryptoConexion are women. \n\nCommunity First:\nCommunity lies at the heart of everything I do. We have built a strong community at Gitcoin both in LatAm and globally and I personally credit Gitcoin with building a network of communities that uplifted us throughout 2023 by providing support, guidance and promoting our work. This is also what we do with the more than 40 communities we collaborate with globally, many which we connected with via Gitcoin. \n\nIn addition, in 2023 we had actively supported Twitter spaces, including hosting an hour+ of content daily in English and Spanish during LetsGrowLive during GG19. \n\nMy commitment to promoting various projects and donating during Gitcoin\u2019s GG18 and GG19 showcases my belief in the power of community-driven progress and my dedication to fostering a culture of support and engagement within Gitcoin. \n\nFinancial Longevity:\nEducation is the cornerstone of sustainable growth. Through CryptoConexion, I have led the creation and publication of tutorials and articles aimed at educating the community about Gitcoin and the broader Web3 ecosystem. This effort directly contributes to Gitcoin\u2019s financial longevity by ensuring a steady influx of informed and engaged community members, ready to contribute to and benefit from the ecosystem.\n\nIn addition, we have supported various projects and provided funding for a grant initiative on Gitcoin. \n\nImpact Evidence:\nMy contributions are quantified by the tangible impact they have had on the community and the Gitcoin ecosystem:\nEducational articles on CryptoConexion have collectively reached thousands of readers, sparking interest and engagement in Gitcoin: \nhttps://cryptoconexion.com/que-es-gitcoin/)\nhttps://cryptoconexion.com/que-es-el-quadratic-funding\n\nThe Twitter spaces hosted during GG19 in Spanish significantly broadened our reach, engaging hundreds of listeners and fostering a bilingual community within Gitcoin.\n\nThe Gitcoin funding grant called \u201cCommunity Alliance, Beyond Coordination\u201d where CryptoConexion joined 11 projects in funding and driving engagement, saw the participation of numerous projects, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and collaboration.\n\nIn addition, my unwavering commitment to Gitcoin\u2019s mission has been evident through my continuous efforts to educate, engage, and empower the Web3 community.
