Hi Dear Astar Community!

Based on feedback received on the original proposal in the forum, this proposal seeks retroactive funding for the successful participation as an Official Sponsor of the Blockchain & Web3 – Hacking the Future | URP 2025 Destino Devconnect event. At this event, Astar Network and Soneium were presented to over 190 members of the local Web3 community through an unforgettable in-person experience that combined knowledge, community, and real opportunities. This event was supported by the Ethereum Foundation's Devconnect Team, Buenbit (a crypto platform with regional reach), Ricardo Palma University, and 13 leading local and regional communities.

During the day we enjoyed inspiring talks, panels full of insights, networking spaces with builders and leaders of the ecosystem, as well as raffles of exclusive official merch kits, interactive dynamics and token prizes that kept the energy at its maximum.
