If DEVCON1 proved something in spades, it was actually the passion, creativity, and momentum of the Ethereum developer group. Using the never-before-seen potential unleashed by the Ethereum World Laptop, our small-but-growing group will not be simply re-imagining cash (and even simply re-imagining the Web)… It is usually re-imagining and delivering different fashions for re-organizing the very material of our society round a extra clear and inspectable “stack”.
ÐΞVgrants came into existence on April 7, 2015, with the intention to ease a number of the pure burdens of creating the lower-level instruments which can hopefully additional the above situation.
