TryCrypto partners with WEF Global Shapers for COVID-19 Reponse
Block COVID is a global virtual innovation camp empowering teams to build practical solutions for everyday problems during the pandemic and beyond.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has recently been turned upside down. Like many of you, we wondered what we could do to help. During a TryCrypto team meeting we discussed the idea of hosting a virtual summit since everyone is currently working from home and since in-person events were being cancelled. We decided to move forward and since then we’ve been overwhelmed by the encouragement, support, and reception the event has received.
