Biggest virtual hackathon almost finished

First of all, the current HackMoney event has come to an end and it has been a massive success. One can only imagine what kind of cool projects people have built in a 30 days hackathon. All final projects can be seen at: https://hack.ethglobal.co/online/showcase. Winners will be announced shortly and the next virtual hackathon is already in the planning.

Devcon 2021

While just a few months ago, the Ethereum foundation delayed announcing any future plans and the next Devcon for this year sounded a bit uncertain.

While other news will follow and our planning continues, we appreciate your continued patience and hope that everyone is acting to stay safe!

More impressions from the conference itself and a pretty good archive of every Devcon so far (incl videos!) can be found at https://archive.devcon.org/.

Historical update: The 2021 plan was postponed. Devcon VI ultimately took place in Bogotá on October 11–14, 2022. The original announcement above is preserved for context.
