Context
The Cripto Latin Fest is an event of great relevance in the blockchain and crypto community in Latin America. It is positioned as a key meeting point for professionals, developers, investors and enthusiasts of the Web3 ecosystem in the region.

This year will be its 8th edition, to be held in the city of Medellin, Colombia, one of the main cities and references in the Web3 ecosystem throughout Latin America. With the union and support of local government, universities and local communities, the event expects to gather more than 3,000 spectators among all its activities.

TL;DR

Taking into consideration this context of the event, I propose that Astar and Soneium have a participation within its Buildathon, being the main and only sponsor of this special space for developers. To achieve this, I plan to:

University Workshop in Medellín (August 18-20):

• Workshop at Eafit in partnership with https://es.nodoeafit.com/ "Decentralized Finance goes mainstream: Opportunities in web3, introducing Astar and Soneium by Sony Blockchain Labs" CTA : enrollment in buildathon. Mention to Sony to catch attention from web2 devs / CS students / Finance students.

• Focus on introducing Soneium and Astar development tools.

• On-chain activities: Students will deploy basic smart contracts and mint on-chain certificates of participation.

Buildathon Sponsorship (August 21-22):

• Brand exposure in roll-ups, prints and logo display of Soneium & Astar during the Buildathon.

• Delivery of two in-depth technical workshops:

• Workshop 1: “Building dApps on Astar”
  Learn how to build dApps on the Astar network. We will cover everything from development fundamentals and UX design to creating sustainable economic models centered around the ASTR token.

• Workshop 2: “On-Chain governance tools”
  Delve into the creation of tools for Astar's on-chain governance. We will analyze governance models, the construction of transparent interfaces, and best practices for smart contract security.

• Real-time on-chain challenge: participants must complete tasks (e.g., deploy a smart contract, interact with Soneium modules) to unlock rewards.

• Mentorship during the Buildathon with a focus on project development on Soneium/Astar.

• Presentation and awarding of the top 3 MVPs with on-chain validation and public minting of winner NFTs.

• The top 3 projects will be evaluated based on the following challenges:
  dApps that successfully attract and retain a general audience by creatively integrating the use of the ASTR token into entertainment or leisure functions or dApps, integrations, or tools that significantly improve community participation in Astar's on-chain governance.
