After 2 years since the last Devcon in Japan, Ethereum's flagship annual event is finally back in Bogotá! Akin to a global family reunion, Devcon is a conference for builders of all kinds: developers, designers, researchers, client implementers, test engineers, infrastructure operators, community organizers, social economists, artists, and more. Not everyone will have the opportunity to fly 19,000 Kilometers all the way to Bogotá, and that's why we are bringing Devcon to Malaysia as part of Devcon Satellites! We will be having our community members to share their experience as Devcon attendees and also as an Ethereum Foundation's scholar! We then will go through together on curated topics highlighted during Devcon to keep us up to date with Ethereum's latest development.

A POAP for old and new members of the Ethereum community, celebrating one full year of Ethereum staking (Nearly 8.8M ETH staked; 263k validators). Thanks to all devs, stakers, users, and community members. Take one piece of cake only

On Wednesday, October 27th the first Ethereum Beacon Chain Network Upgrade will happen. Altair is scheduled to go live at epoch 74240 – Oct 27, 2021, 10:56:23am UTC. See the Altair Mainnet Announcement for details on who, how, and why. If you run a validator on the beacon chain, you must upgrade before the Altair upgrade epoch or else you will experience downtime penalties. It’s great practice to share updates with your fellow solo stakers. When you update your node, did you share the news with your validator friends? Did you tweet about it, if so – you deserve a POAP.

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. Many of us in the Rocket Pool community owe it to Reddit for the first step. This is thanks for being wonderful hubs of information about the decentralized future. A special thank you to the moderators of these subs for being forgiving to us RPL fanatics and an even more special thank you to everyone that has helped spread knowledge about decentralized staking. Thank you r/ethfinance, r/rocketpool, r/ethereum, and r/ethstaker.
