The entire event was designed around a Japanese theme, honoring Cardano’s origins in Japan and the warrior spirit of the builders who completed the IOG-led course and hackathon :Hackathon prizes of 10,000 USD, awarded together with katanas in three categories: black, red, and white 🥷
• Taiko performances, Kendo demonstrations, and a Japanese food experience with Dorayaki (traditional Japanese sweet) and sushi for attendees
• Special merch: a Japanese-style mate, symbolizing the cultural bridge between Japan, Argentina, and LATAM

We want to thank @IOHK_Charles and @jj_siler for making the inauguration of the Laboratory of Decentralized Computing and Digital Trust at the Summit possible.

Huge thanks as well to the four instructors of the Hackathon and Developers course – @roberm, @kdchaires, @jarturomora and @antonioiglez – and to @adadogpool and @ChileStakepo, who did an amazing job as Masters of Ceremony for the Summit.

Finally, a very special thank you to Cardano Foundation’s Marketing Director @Laura_Mattiucci and Elis Moormaa for their constant support and attention to every detail of the event. 🙌

To every participant, speaker, volunteer, sponsor, and project:
thank you for making this possible – this video is just a glimpse of what Cardano in LATAM is becoming. 🚀

🎉 Announcement day! 🎉

As I said while promoting the DevX initiative, I want the closest thing to the Cardano community owning our outputs. That's why I submitted cardano-init to PRAGMA (@pragma_org), and they accepted us into the onboarding process! (See pragma.io/projects/carda…).

Also, today we released a new version of cardano-init that comes with:
- Generating a spec protocol specification folder to have your specs and implementations together.
- Improved user docs and a new docs website.
- Show links to community and supporting tools of the chosen stack to connect newcomers directly with tooling builders.
- Show a pre-generation version-update notice to let you know that there's a new version.

And much more!

Thanks to our external collaborators @boraonchain and @wolf31o2 for their contributions!

Is there such thing as a Cardano-native marketing firm? 👀 I'm in need of someone that could make a short-lived but strong marketing campaign to attract devs to my hackathon.

🚀 YEARS of dedication. Countless challenges. Unstoppable passion.
