“In the last 4 years, we have witnessed the Ethereum community’s growth, and the rapid progress of the technology. The Ethereum community is what drives us to continue to make this conference every year. ”
EDCON [Community Ethereum Development CONference] is an Ethereum community conference originally started and organized by LinkTime in 2016. EDCON has since been held every year in different countries worldwide, and has had a great influence on the Ethereum community’s growth and development.
- Goal: promote the Ethereum ecosystem’s health and development, and become a bridge between the Ethereum foundation and community
- Culture: freedom, fairness, impact, communication, cooperation
