EthCC has just concluded, and what an event it was — filled with insightful talks, powerful presentations, great food, and good vibes. The Superchain community banded together to make the week a huge success, with several interesting projects showcasing their features and progress within the superchain. Of course, Superchain Eco is included among them. Here's a quick recap of all the events we took part in.
Our Superchain Space was a resounding success, bringing together builders, citizens, and innovators to share their insights and explore new ideas within the Optimism Collective. This event not only set the stage for meaningful connections and discussions about the future of our ecosystem but also showcased the strength and unity of our community. Following the Superchain Space, we held a pop-up event at the OP Gathering with our partners Celo, Worldcoin, Kroma, Mint, and Cyber. This collaboration allowed us to further engage with the community and build new bridges within the ecosystem.
As we look back on the enriching experiences of the past week, we can't help but feel excited for what's to come. The Worldcoin brunch provided a fantastic networking platform, while the Cyber Superchain Social offered a relaxed setting to interact with brilliant minds in the ecosystem. These events and more have not only built new bridges but also fueled our optimism for the future. As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we're excited to continue building on the momentum from EthCC and pushing the boundaries of what's possible within the Superchain ecosystem.
