PRESS RELEASE
EDCON (Community Ethereum Development Conference) is a non-profit global Ethereum conference that happens once a year in different countries, and it is mainly committed to serving the Ethereum ecosystem, boosting the communication and interaction of Ethereum communities worldwide.
EDCON is a community-supported event initiated by LinkTime and with the spirit of sharing and mutual growth, it received strong support from Ethereum Foundation, various communities, and many other contributors in this space, as is manifest in EDCON 2017 in Paris, EDCON 2018 IN Toronto and EDCON Sidney in 2019.
Realizing that there is an increasing number of people beginning to study and research crypto economics deeper than ever before, we can see the significance and necessity of crypto economics to the blockchain space.
Thus this time, apart from the topics of Ethereum technology updates, business use case, investment, governance, community building, etc., the “Renaissance of Crypto-economics” will be included as an important slogan.
