Driving adoption and expansion of Astar Network and Soneium in Peru

Hi @Juminstock Thank you so much for your feedback! :raising_hands:

Sure! I’m happy to answer any questions.

Sure! Thank you for highlighting this point and giving me the opportunity to clarify the topics and narrative I plan to present at each event.

The main narrative throughout all the events is to educate and attract new builders, developers, and community enthusiasts in Peru to begin actively engaging with Astar Network and Soneium, both at the development level so they can build within the ecosystems by launching their own dApps or supporting existing ones, and at the community level, by showcasing the tools and build environment for both Astar and Soneium builders.

Here’s a more specific breakdown by event:

Connecting You to Web3 - Ricardo Palma University (URP)
Focus: Considering that the Astar Network and Soneium presentations will be the main events at this event, and I’ll have more time for them, I’ll introduce both ecosystems, their recent updates, technical capabilities (EVM + WASM), ecosystem tools, the dApp Staking program, and a development environment for developers in both ecosystems.

I will also share future opportunities at both the community and development levels, such as the Soneium For All Incubation Program. I’m sure those who know about it will want to participate in future editions.

Startup Web3 – Peru Tech Week
Focus: This event will be the main event related to blockchain and Web3 technology within Peru Tech Week, so its audience will be crucial, as it connects builders, developers, and key members of the ecosystem such as CEOs and startup representatives, opening the doors to future strategic alliances relevant to the ecosystem.

For this event, as with the previous one, the idea is to introduce the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems, providing their main features, their most recent updates, and showcasing the tools and construction environments they offer so that builders and developers can actively participate.

Build & Market
Focus: The intersection of technology and creativity.
This is a pre-Devconnect event. This time, I’ll have a shorter Speaking Slot of 15-20 minutes. Therefore, I’ll be a bit briefer than in the previous two events. I’ll introduce the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems, their latest updates, and, of course, I’ll share the opportunities they can have within the ecosystems, whether as builders, developers, ASTR token holders, or simply active community members.

In all events, the approach will be practical and interactive, with Q&A sessions and participatory dynamics, ensuring that attendees take away both knowledge and a clear next step to actively contribute to the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems.

Yeah, each of these three events has its own highly qualified team, which I’ll detail below:

Connecting You to Web3 - Ricardo Palma University (URP)
This is my own event, which I’m organizing directly with the Director of the School of Engineering and the University’s Protocol Coordinator, with whom I’ve already met and coordinated everything related to the execution of this event.

Among some highlights is that this University has been known for its interest in blockchain technology, offering seminars and hosting several ecosystem events.

For this event, Ricardo Palma University will provide me with its main auditorium equipped with all the necessary technical equipment, technical support staff, and spaces for stands and coffee breaks if necessary, completely free of charge.

I’ve previously hosted an event with them, and to give you an idea of what to expect, you can check it out here:

This was a successful event, with 120+ registrations and 80+ attendees.

For this, everything is already coordinated. The only thing missing for now is to confirm the realization of said event on my part. Once confirmed, I will proceed to meet with the Director of the Engineering Faculty and the University Protocol Coordinator to proceed to schedule the event within the academic calendar, on a date convenient for both parties.

Build & Market - Pre DevConnect LATAM

This event is being organized by Marketing Community, one of the leading Web3 communities. This community was the organizer of Bitcoin Pizza Day Lima 2025. You can check out this event and its social media channels here:

The Marketing Community team, which includes representatives from Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico, is currently organizing this event.

My participation in this event will be as a sponsor, so the only thing required from my side is confirmation of my participation.

StartUp Web3 - Peru Tech Week

This is the 5th edition of this event, and it is being organized by the Startup Web3 team, a highly qualified team with extensive experience within the ecosystem:

Among the members of this team is one of the ecosystem’s main KOLs, Renzo Wenzel, who has over 100,000 followers on social media. You can check him out here:

The StartUp Web3 team is currently coordinating this event with the UPC, with whom they have organized previous editions.

My participation in this event will be as a Main Sponsor, so the only thing required of me is to confirm my participation.

Regarding the timelines, I detail them below for better visual clarity:

  • Build & Market - Pre DevConnect LATAM
    • Estimated date:
      • September 19-21, 2025.

This would be the closest event to the current date. However, we are currently more than a month away from the estimated event date. However, if for any reason, the treasury’s schedule changes and the proposal is approved after this event’s date, I am happy to return the requested funds related to this event to the treasury.

  • StartUp Web3 - Peru Tech Week
    • Estimated date:
      • September 29 - October 5, 2025. (Peru Tech Week).

This event will take place the first week of October and is two weeks behind the previous event, so we’re almost two months away from the current date. So I don’t think there’s any problem in this case.

  • Connecting you to Web3 - URP
    • Estimated date:
      • October 13-24, 2025.

I have set this date as an estimated and tentative date, which is two weeks ahead of the previous event, maintaining the same timeline between events.

However, the specific date for this event will be coordinated with University representatives, and a mutually convenient date will be chosen, so there is no problem in this regard.

This proposal is a natural part of the previous and ongoing efforts I have been making both locally and regionally. In fact, we currently have an established and growing local community with 60+ members, reinforced by social media on various platforms.

Participation in Bitcoin Pizza Day Lima 2025 was undoubtedly a benchmark for the positioning of Astar Network and Soneium in the local ecosystem. It had 300+ registrations and 120+ attendees. This participation sparked great interest in the local community and has raised awareness of both ecosystems. This, in addition to the virtual efforts through content creation that Audiarmis and I have undertaken, has created an established community in Peru exclusively for Astar Network and Soneium. This proposal is presented precisely with the intention of giving continuity to these efforts and continuing to position both ecosystems locally.

I fully agree with this point, for this reason, and as I mentioned earlier, each of these events is supported by different teams, all highly trained and with extensive experience both in the ecosystem and in the implementation of previous events.

That’s correct. We currently have a proposal in the treasury, and we have almost everything ready for execution. For now, we are simply awaiting approval to proceed with announcing and executing the series of Spaces and Streams that will be held weekly until December.

Regarding the execution timeline, the AS - The Mastercard in Web3 proposal will be announced once approved and will begin execution the following week.

These proposals do not conflict with each other; in fact, they were structured in detail and are complementary, positioning the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems both virtually and in person, locally and regionally.

Thank you very much for commenting Carlos, for some time now I have been committed to the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems carrying out work aimed at the Spanish-speaking community, so for me it has been a great pleasure to run for the Community Representative Seat on the Astar Community Council, I know from my own experience in similar positions that it will be necessary to dedicate more time than the established to meet the objectives set forth within the Council, this is something that I have taken into account when presenting this proposal, so I consider that there is no interference between the proposed activities and the responsibilities of the Community Council, I am fully willing to carry them out and would be completely honored if elected, always guaranteeing successful execution with transparency and real and measurable impact. :astr:

Thank you again for your valuable comments and all the support, I really appreciate it! Let’s keep building! :handshake: :astr:
