I still think this needs work before I can approve it. I am sorry for the delay, I will make another round of edits.

Hey @leohhhn

Could you take a look at this version and review, see what you think? I think we could even build out a bit more on a Q&A section - like what we took away from the event.

Tokyo Meetup Recap: Getting to Gno Gno.land

banner

This year, we're going global, connecting with various local communities in person to introduce them to Gno.land and the community of Gnomes working on the project. Last week, we hosted the first-ever Gno.land community meetup in Tokyo, Japan. Held at the Crypto Lounge GOX in the heart of Shinjuku City, the event drew over 20 attendees from diverse backgrounds spanning Web3, development, traditional business, and fintech. This meetup marked the second in a series of in-person community events we're planning for this year, a followup to our recent local meetup in Korea with OnBloc (Go to Gno), which focused on introducing Gno.land to Go developers in Seoul.

These regional meetups are intentionally designed to be small and intimate, fostering personal relationships and building a community of trusted Gnomes that can influence the future of Gno.land. The content of these gatherings can range from introducing Gno.land and its unique concepts to guiding developers on how to kick start their journey with Gno. In Tokyo, for this event we covered three main topics:

  • What is Gno.land: an introduction to the Gno language and the platform

  • How the Gno.land ecosystem is developing: 

    • an overview of our contributors and applications
    • how people can get involved, stay connected, and join the Gnome community
  • The future of Gno.land: what's coming up this year and ideas for the future

Introduction to Gno.land

leon-poc

Leon Hudak, Gno.land's Developer Relations Engineer, was the on-site Gnome representative and kicked things off by introducing attendees to the project's unique features:

  • Fully Open-Source Smart-Contracting Platform: Highlighting Gno.land's commitment to transparency and accessibility.

  • Custom Smart-Contracting Language (Gno): Showcasing the innovative language tailored for future blockchain development.

  • New Consensus Protocol, Proof of Contribution: Exploring the cutting-edge protocol under development, emphasizing its role in supporting open-source, and on-chain development.

After introducing the high-level these facets of Gno.land, the presentation detailed the specifics of each one, and how it is being designed to address problems in both open-source development, and blockchain ecosystems. For example, the open source development culture brings immense value to the field of engineering, and closed source projects are often using it for business. This is the part Proof of Contribution comes into play. We explained the idea of open source contributions being analyzed, and integrated on-chain for validation, and the different architecture types that can be used to achieve this. 

Our Ecosystem of Gnome Contributors

We spotlighted the diverse projects and contributors bolstering the Gno.land ecosystem, ranging from the Adena Wallet and blockchain explorer Gnoscan to innovative applications like Flippando. Additionally, we introduced attendees to the Gno.land Grants & Fund program and the Game of Realms initiative, demonstrating various avenues for builders to engage and contribute to the ecosystem's growth.

The Future of Gno.land

In closing, we provided attendees with an exploration on the vision and journey of Gno.land's, tracing its evolution from inception to its current position vis-a-vis Mainnet and beyond. We explained the current focus on engineering and development to have a strong foundation for Gnomes of the future, and the recent launch of the innovative Portal Loop, and what it means for contributors. We emphasized the significance of Test4, an advanced experimental testnet preceding the Mainnet launch and what the post deployment of Test4 means to our ecosystem. 

We opened up the floor for questions and answers, and the topic of Proof of Contribution sparked interest to understand the economic, and governance architecture, and its comparative analysis with other popular consensus mechanisms. We also addressed questions on collaboration with other projects, and the challenge of fee structures for the smart contract platform, with the example of Ethereum. 

Gnomes Go Global
