The goal is to promote cohesion, connect entrepreneurs with technical experts, encourage new projects, position Costa Rica as a hub of innovation, as we all prepare for our first Costa Rican [Blockchain Week](https://asoblockchain.org/news/blockchain-week-costa-rica-2023/) in November.\n\n## What is a Cripto Cantina?\nThe Cripto Cantina initiative fosters an informal and non-structured recurrent meetup environment as well as more structured events, bringing together various stakeholders in the local blockchain ecosystem. This includes entrepreneurs, public and private institution representatives, technology developers/designers, investors, and crypto enthusiasts. The initiative aims to create a space that facilitates networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.\n\n## Our Context and why Cripto Cantina is relevant\nThe local blockchain community lacks a cohesive platform for networking and collaboration, hindering the growth of innovative projects. The Cripto Cantina addresses this issue by providing a regular meetup space where individuals from diverse backgrounds can connect, share ideas, and explore potential partnerships. \n\nFurthermore, the initiative promotes the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country, contributing to the growth of blockchain technology and its applications.  Most opportunities to learn about web3 are focused in San Jos\u00e9, in Costa Rica\u2019s Central Valley, hence our goal of taking Cripto Cantina outside of San Jos\u00e9 as well.\n\n## Our Objectives:\n+ Foster stronger connections among members of the local web3 community.\n+ Facilitate the inclusion of women and non-technical individuals, into the web3 space.\n+ Attract new projects and ideas for presentation at TicoBlockchain in November.\n+ Promote the adoption of web3 tools within the local community.\n\n## Previous Accomplishments:\n\nBefore the pandemic and up to 2022, Cripto Cantinas were informally organized in the [East of San Jos\u00e9, Barrio Escalante](https://twitter.com/AsoBlockchainCR/status/1549470151950622720). Starting in March 2023, a partnership with Charlie Network led to [monthly Cripto Cantinas in the West](https://twitter.com/AsoBlockchainCR/status/1651690138278195200). Themes included the [International Women's Day celebration](https://asoblockchain.org/news/international-womens-day-2023/), Cybersecurity, local regulatory landscape, [payments and NFTs](https://asoblockchain.org/news/cripto-cantina-series-may-2023/), and themed events on regenerative finance in collaboration with ReFi Costa Rica.\n\n>August 2023:  this month was the [first time in which we were able to share a monthly agenda](https://twitter.com/AsoBlockchainCR/status/1690411264281907201), so people can schedule and prepare for the Cripto Cantina in advance.\n\n![august agenda](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3WMFYMW8AALgro?format=jpg&name=medium \"august agenda\")\n\n\n**The Cripto Cantina has been conducted with various formats:**\n\n+ In dept talks, new and technical topics\n+ Networking and beginners onboarding\n+ Open mic (quick pitches of local projects)\n+ Feedforward (discussion tables to receive assistance, ideas, or contacts)\n+ Dynamics that encourage cryptocurrency payments\n\n\n## Current Spaces:\nCripto Cantina del Este: Weekly meetups in Barrio Escalante, focused on networking, held at Jard\u00edn de Lolita and Sendero Escalante.\n\n![photo](https://asoblockchain.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/20230801_CryptoCantina_00.jpg \"photo\")\n\n![photo](https://asoblockchain.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/202307_CryptoCantina_00.jpg \"photo\")\n\n\nCripto Cantina del Oeste: Monthly meetups in Santa Ana, thanks to the space facilitated by Charlie Network at Inedit.\n\n![photo](https://asoblockchain.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CryptoCantina_202306_02-1536x865.jpg \"photo\")\n\n![photo](https://asoblockchain.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Cripto_cantina_20230509_1.jpg \"photo\")\n\n\n## Planned Activities and Funding Needs:\nWe intend to organize 3-4 Cripto Cantinas per month from September to November, preparing for Blockchain Week. New activities will include remote working days, hackathons, virtual events, and workshops. We seek to raise a total of $6500 for the following purposes:\n\n**45%**: Audiovisual equipment, event materials, photography, videos, merch, and basic event costs.\n**30%**: Side events during Blockchain Jungle, TicoBlockchain, and Ethereum Day. Compensation for facilitators, materials, and travel costs.\n**25%**: Organizing a Cripto Cantina outside the Central Valley to expand the initiative's reach. Compensation for ambassadors, travel, accommodation, and event materials.\n\n## Team:\nThe Education Committee of Asoblockchain, a volunteer group affiliated with the Asociaci\u00f3n Blockchain Costa Rica, leads the initiative. The committee consists of dedicated individuals from various backgrounds:\n\n[Alejandra Garc\u00eda](https://twitter.com/hola_hemp) \n[Andrea Barrantes](https://twitter.com/barrantes_mor) \n[Gonzalo Chac\u00f3n](https://twitter.com/gchacon3) \n[Jeane Canonigo](https://twitter.com/jlcplan) \n[Karla C\u00f3rdoba](https://twitter.com/muguika) \n[Luis Mariano Cajiao](https://twitter.com/Lumacx2) \n[Otto Mora](https://twitter.com/ottomorac) \n[Ricardo Barquero](https://twitter.com/ricardobarq) \n[Roxana Zamora](https://twitter.com/CryptoversePlaX)\n\n\n>We invite you to support the Cripto Cantina initiative, which plays a crucial role in strengthening the local web3 community, fostering innovation, and preparing for the upcoming Blockchain Week. \n>\n>Your contribution will directly impact the growth and vibrancy of the Costa Rican blockchain ecosystem. Join us in creating an inclusive and dynamic space for collaboration and advancement in the world of blockchain technology.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "AsoBlockchainCR"}, "recipient": "0xC174c7aB7E509095455A0B7674413b577F6e42bF"}}
