This award is designed to recognize the long-term contributions of community members. Jun Chiu and Woo Kimi By interpreting and translating many difficult research ideas from English to Chinese, we have greatly helped reduce language barriers and accelerate the spread of Ethereum knowledge. We were excited to host Juin and Kimi at Devcon in Osaka and meet them again in Taipei shortly thereafter.
What are your future plans?
One of Ethereum’s superpowers is the independent prosperity that arises across its vast and vibrant ecosystem. The numerous local Ethereum communities around the world are a big part of why Ethereum feels simultaneously global and personal to many people.
That’s why EF is constantly experimenting with ways to support our communities around the world. We are excited to expand on this concept further by applying what we have learned from recent grant programs in Korea, Japan, and now Taiwan.
Thank you to all our community contributors who help us increase access to blockchain knowledge, thereby driving innovation and adoption of Ethereum, and sharing the spirit of Ethereum with the world!
