Cartagena Onchain: Locally Rooted, Globally Connected
Cartagena Onchain is a community-driven initiative transforming Cartagena, Colombia, into a global crypto hub — but with a Caribbean soul. Our mission is to accelerate onchain adoption across Latin America by empowering local communities, creators, and entrepreneurs to lead the way.
We recognize that true innovation in LATAM doesn’t come from outside — it starts from within. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with local movements like “La Movida”, connect with artists, and support grassroots campaigns such as “Le doy porque quiero Cartagena” — highlighting the power of community action and cultural expression in shaping the future of Web3.
We address three key challenges in the region:
- Slow and unequal adoption of Web3 technologies across Latin America.
- Widespread misinformation and lack of trust around the onchain space.
- Barriers for Web3 startups and companies trying to enter the LATAM market.
Our approach is grounded in the local context:
-
Accessible Education
Workshops, training programs, and culturally relevant content created by and for the local community. -
Strategic Events & Activations
Meetups, hackathons, and public activations that celebrate local culture while connecting it to global onchain ecosystems. -
Onboarding & Business Support
Guiding startups and companies — especially local ones — through the process of going onchain and expanding sustainably. -
Community & KOL Networking
Fostering authentic connections between local leaders, communities, and Web3 builders around the world.
Our Value Proposition
Cartagena Onchain is not just about technology — it’s about people. We’re building a locally-led, culturally rooted movement that connects education, creativity, and innovation to empower Cartagena and Latin America in the global onchain revolution.
Real Impact on the Ground
An example of this vision in action is the series of events we’ve already hosted — including community meetups, local art activations, and onchain education sessions in public spaces. And we’re just getting started. Continuing to uplift local voices and bring more people into the onchain world from the ground up.
