## 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: 1. **Slow and unequal adoption** of Web3 technologies across Latin America. 2. **Widespread misinformation and lack of trust** around the onchain space. 3. **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. # Pre-PizzaDAO: Brunch by: Celo Colombia > **[Pre-PizzaDAO: Brunch by: Celo Colombia · Luma](https://luma.com/p29ws5vw)** > > 🥐 Pre-PizzaDAO: Brunch con Celo Colombia 🥂 > 📍 La Fantastica Hub Cartagena CTG Onchain > 🕐 Miércoles 21 de mayo | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. > Antes de la fiesta… # cCOP en acción: Cómo transformar el comercio y las finanzas en Colombia > **[cCOP en acción: Cómo transformar el comercio y las finanzas en Colombia. · Luma](https://luma.com/smz1us2a)** > > Te invitamos a descubrir cómo la moneda estable cCOP está revolucionando el comercio y las finanzas en el país. ¿Qué exploraremos en este evento? > 🔹 ¿Qué es… # cCOP: Finanzas digitales para todos. > **[cCOP: Finanzas digitales para todos. · Luma](https://luma.com/zzdbbdxl)** > > ¡Prepárate para una noche llena de innovación y oportunidades! > Únete a nosotros el 12 de marzo de 2025 en el vibrante barrio de Getsemaní, Cartagena, donde… # Descubre el Poder de Celo y cCOP > **[Descubre el Poder de Celo y cCOP 🌍💱 · Luma](https://luma.com/m3j7yvwi)** > > ¡Únete a nosotros en un evento único donde descubrirás cómo la tecnología blockchain y las stablecoins están revolucionando la economía digital! 🌐✨ > Aprovecha… ### Let’s Build This Together We believe in collaboration as a catalyst for change.

Amazing! We’re doing something similar in Chapada Diamantina, in Bahia (Brazil).
