Describe what your project does or is aiming to do in 50 characters or less:
Ethereum Brasil (EB) is a non profitable project launched at the end of 2021, initially as a Brazilian web3 event planner focusing in the Ethereum ecosystem. After the success of our first event, EthereumRio, in March of 2022 a lot of the attendees got in contact to thank us for the opportunity to participate in their first web3 event. Some participants had their lives completely changed after that first event where their projects could be sponsored by the biggest web3 companies.
Today Ethereum Brasil actively promotes the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem through collaborative efforts, building a diverse community that includes education projects and partnerships in addition to organizing conferences, Hackathons, Bootcamps and Networking.
If available, please enter a link to your project below:
How far along are you?:
The event is happening already!
We have 300 hackers signed up and we are expecting way more.
The Bootcamps and workshops will be in real life.
The hackathon and some workshops will be online (We had to change because of the lack of sponsorships to make it in real life and cover expenses with food, collation etc)
Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you’re making?:
I met Kevin in EthDam and he told me he would love to contribute to the Brazilian community somehow. So we organized some workshops. We suggested me to apply for this grant also.
EthBrasil have been doing big conferences like EthRio and Hackathons. I am just part of the team.
The whole team is here:
What’s new about what you’re making? What substitutes do people resort to because it doesn’t exist yet (or they don’t know about it)?:
The differential is giving Brazilian community - that is huge and have a big potential - the opportunity to access quality content in their mother language - as most of the population dont speak English (language that dominates web3 space).
What’s your vision for how your project will impact The Graph and/or web3?:
Brazil is a potential market and that is a lack of support and events to the local community. The bootcamp is a change to web2 devs to onboard web3 space. The workshops are a change to devs in the ecossystem to learn abou Dapps, protocols, etc. And be able to build on it, participate in the hackathon and win prizes, and more important, to creat solutions to real life problems in Brasil. Our Hackathon tracks will be in synergy with Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations.
How will you measure success?:
Number of inscriptions, number of projects submitted in the Hackathon, number of attendees to each workshop, number of projects that moved forward - One of the last Hackathon winners became a business.
What milestones will you achieve in the coming weeks/months, with or without the grant?:
We are looking straight bounties for the projects in the Hackathon building in The Graph.
Of course we had more expenses with the event and would be great to receive The Graph also as a official sponsor. We could discuss in a call.
Please select who you think will benefit from your project?:

How much funding are you looking for? (USD):

No
Can you share any information about current/past web3 experience?:
EthBrasil has past events - Conferences and Hackathons.
