Polygon Connect Korea at KBW co-hosted by Hashed

Polygon is coming to Korea Blockchain Week, on August 8th and 9th, for Polygon Connect Korea co-hosted by Hashed.

Polygon #Connect is our global initiative to bring together the entire Polygon ecosystem via live events, hackathons, and cool parties. We are partnering with some of the ~biggest~ names building #onPolygon and in web3 for whip-smart insight on how to jumpstart your dream project.

This is our first major event in Korea, but not our last. We’ve got a jam-packed two days, with workshops, panel discussions, AMAs, industry keynotes, and live demos. Also: swag!

Coming off the major successes of Polygon #Connect Paris and ETHCC, we’ll feature some zk-specific content to help you understand our recent zkEVM breakthroughs. We’re also onboarding some of Korea’s best NFT projects and influential web3 artists, so keep your eyes peeled! You’ll have the chance to pick the brains of the brightest minds in the ecosystem, to learn what you need to start building right now. We’re calling all developers, builders, creators, artists, web3 masters, and more to join us.

To cap off the first day (August 8th), we’ll celebrate at a fun partner party. Stop by, hang out, and meet other builders as we all get psyched for Polygon in Korea. This is your chance to #connect with the best of the Polygon Ecosystem developer community through networking, training, and hiring opportunities.
