Description
The Puerto Rico Blockchain Trade Association was established to build an inclusive and accessible tech community, promoting Web3 adoption on-island through education and advocacy. It runs several initiatives including CryptoCurious, an education and community outreach program to make blockchain, crypto-assets, and Web3 knowledge accessible to Puerto Ricans; BUIDL Conferences, which connect government agencies, local executives, and companies already engaged in crypto; Act 60 Tax Incentives guidance, summarizing the island's tax incentive programs; and Web3 Bootcamps offering blockchain development workshops in Ethereum, Solana, and more to train the next generation of developers. The organization also engages in crypto policy analysis covering U.S. Congress and regulatory developments, publishes media including a podcast (CryptoCuriousWeb3XP) and press releases, and serves the local crypto community, developers, entrepreneurs, and government stakeholders in Puerto Rico.
