NEAR in Paris for EthCC
Ready for some cross-chain fun? We have a full week of activities lined up:
Party ~ July 19
To start off this celebration, we’re having a party in an epic venue in the very center of Paris. Join us for an evening of drinks, dancing, & friends at Les Jardins du Pont Neuf.
Official Festivities ~ July 20-22
NEAR is co-hosting the League of Bridges Salon to meet fellow builders, hang out with friends, or find a space to chill (with coffee + high speed internet). There is an area for workshops, and plenty of spaces to relax. We’ll be open daily from 7/20-7/23 from 11am - 5pm.
Pitch Your Ideas ~ July 23
Join us to pitch a cross-chain idea or paper that you know should exist! The whole pitch event and the Cross-Chain Salon in general will be live-streamed:
leagueofbridges.com
Cross-chain is about more than bridging technology. It’s about acutely connecting the unique cultures of the ecosystems creating real change. The League of Bridges is a coalition that exists to drive home one point and one point only; all ecosystems need to work together — because in the world of web3, there are no winners or losers ~ just the infinite game.
