Updates on Devcon4 ticket allocation and sales

adminJanuary 20, 2024

friend,

What an exciting week it has been! We went on sale for our first tickets and they sold out in just 18 minutes! But don’t worry. There will be more ticket sales in addition to the various discounts and scholarships you can apply for. Transparency and clear communication are what the Devcon team strives for. So we wanted to share our thoughts on Devcon4 ticket allocation and sales to answer questions and address feedback we’ve received from the community.

Ticket distribution and revenue distribution

First: More than two-thirds of Devcon4 tickets are discounted or free, targeting different groups of builders and students. The remaining third of tickets are being sold in a series of “waves” at the same per-ticket rate as the previous two Devcon events. This includes conference and operating costs of the Ethereum Foundation. This allows us to use our financial resources to give back to the local community by funding key developments and providing ecosystem grants. Additionally, revenue from donations from community leaders allows us to sell most tickets at a discount and provide scholarships.

Waves is a way for anyone to purchase general admission tickets. We are spacing out the timing of the waves so that we can apply the lessons we have learned to future waves (for example, we have fixed a bug that delayed the sending of e-ticket receipts to those who paid with cryptocurrency in the first wave). I learned it!)

builder support

We want to make attending Devcon4 as easy as possible for people building decentralized applications and the Ethereum protocol. Although most of our programming and content is very technical, we invite independent builders or builders working in small organizations of all kinds. builder discount: Developers, designers, researchers, community organizers, and even artists. What would Ethereum be without you?

Diversity and Inclusion

For the Ethereum community to have a positive social impact, the people who build this ecosystem must reflect the beautiful diversity of the human experience. We are providing scholarships to help Devcon grow to be more diverse, accessible, and equitable than ever. Apply for Scholarship If you need additional financial support to participate in Devcon4
