Duration: 00:11:10

Speaker: Andres Forigua, William Martinez, Mateo Sabogal

Type: Lightning Talk

In this talk, we will explore the moving case of ETH Arauca and the brave young activist Emerson, who led the ETH Colombia node and whose life was tragically taken in the exercise of his mission.

This talk seeks to give visibility to Emerson's legacy, ETH leaders challenges, and highlight the potential of Ethereum to drive real change
