ETHGlobal SanFrancisco 2024 Recap Video

[Music] wow eans are done so well I was like let's go San Francisco's in the building and the fact that like the technology is always been here Tech is at the heart of San Francisco and you see a lot of intersections of ideas such a great event that I thought I'd fly all the way across the world to come to San Francisco [Music] it's exactly what e Global does because this is where we stay in one place and we feed off each other's energies some people were saying like this is Paradise and like hearing that kind of like made me feel great about like what we're doing here the energy inside of eth global is nothing short of magical I love eth Global because everyone here is so passionate about making the world a better place it is a full weekend of just networking with the best specialists in the ecosystem the best value possible I met a 13-year-old kid who came with his mom to do hacking and that's where I realized that this was a special place so this is my first time doing e Global by the way and I love the energy I think it's awesome to see developers integrating stuff from like AI I'm building a decentralized news app I'm building a simplified def5 High Landing platform we're building a offchain adastation network decentralized system for language translation in real time decentralized platform for photographers and we're basically incentivizing people to do push-ups personally I love all the fluffy dogs around I think that that's a very nice emotional support for the hackers it's like the stickers it's the food trucks which are exceptional the snacks and stuff have been awesome the midnight snack was great loved the the Boba and the Mochi actually I think that in itself is is really notable which is that you feel really taken care of my favorite memory so far is probably getting our smart contract to work on chain and then screaming in the middle of the night the most exciting thing I think is definitely seeing the energy in the place everyone is kind of heads down locked in trying to build something in such a short period of time it was very evident when in the first night everybody was building until very late even like when he was uh late in the night I saw a lot of Builders still grinding which is great I love the determination and their enthusiasm so really looking forward to see the projects tomorrow over a thousand people from 45 different countries six continents and $400,000 in prizes projects um at EF have been have been great so far we've seen some really exciting work ranging from Super novel work in applied cryptography tees all the way to Super super practical application I've seen so many good ones I got to say today was one of the hard I've judged a few of these and today was really tough there's so many good submissions I think deciding the winners is is definitely going to be tough um really every project we've seen has been so impressive and so uh it's been uh yeah I don't know how we're going to decide it's just good luck keep on building and keep being curious to [Music] learn how I felt when I found out when I won the the hackathon was I literally screamed a lesson that I learned from my hacking experience is how important communication with team members are there was definitely some disputes here and there but being able to manage and and handle different personalities and bring them together for one goal is a really useful skill for winning the agathon I think I'll be flying out for E Global and Bangkok yeah
