Decentralized Voices

In this episode of Decentralized Voices, Daria interviews Erica Kang, founder of KryptoPlanet (formerly KryptoSeoul), organizer of BUIDL Asia and ETHSeoul, and GP at Black Dragon Capital, about what works in web3 community building:
🔸 building trust in a low-trust market
🔸 making events sustainable without turning into a shill-fest
🔸 scaling from a local scene (Seoul) to global presence (Lisbon, Dubai, Vietnam, Paris)

Erica also shares candidly how motherhood reshaped her decision-making, why “quick money” is the wrong motive for event businesses, and how mentorship and women-led spaces can meaningfully improve gender inclusion.

Ethereum L2s are exploding, enterprises are finally paying attention, and DAOs are going through an identity crisis. In this episode, Daria talks with Krzysztof Urbański, blockchain researcher and head of governance & partnerships at L2BEAT, about what’s happening across the Ethereum scaling and governance landscape.

Drawing on 20+ years in IT and deep experience with financial infrastructure, Krzysztof breaks down how Ethereum L2s work, what real security guarantees look like, and why decentralization isn’t a vibe – it’s a risk model.

He explains L2BEAT’s role as an onchain transparency project, how they stay neutral while being delegates in multiple DAOs, and why Ethereum should be the settlement layer for the world’s financial system.

Ethereum’s Devconnect 2025 in Buenos Aires could become the Web3 event of the year, maybe even the decade.
It will take place November 17-22 in a hybrid, city-scale format: a central venue at La Rural featuring 10 stages and 40+ independently programmed events, plus the inaugural Ethereum World’s Fair -- eight districts where Web3 newcomers can set up a wallet, on-ramp into crypto, and even buy food with it.
Nathan Sexer, Event Lead at the Ethereum Foundation, breaks down the mission, the local impact on LATAM, and shares advice on how to get the most out of this Ethereum festival.

Key highlights:
🔸 The difference between Devcon and Devconnect
🔸 Why Argentina and LATAM?
🔸 The idea of Ethereum World’s Fair
🔸 How to become a host of the Ethereum event
