📜 How Carnival Sparked a Web3 Revolution in My Mind I wrote this little chronicle to share how the idea for our @modularcrypto Carnival event was born. It all started while I was sitting on a bench outside the ETHLatam venue in Honduras, lost in thought. I had just watched cryptochica_arg's talk, and while the warm air buzzed with excitement, my mind wandered, reflecting on what it truly means to be a Latina woman, especially in a space like Web3. There’s an undeniable pride and responsibility in representing Latin America, not just as a region of passion, music, and celebration, but as a land of resilience, strength, and history.

One of the things I love most about being Latina is how close-knit our cultures feel. There's a sense of unity that runs deep throughout the continent. But just as important as that unity is the celebration of our differences. It's these cultural nuances, the unique flavors and traditions of each country, that make our region so vibrant. The best part of every event is discovering and experiencing these differences firsthand, learning what makes each community special. And it’s precisely this feeling that I want to bring to Carnival—an event that blends the familiarity of shared values with the excitement of new perspectives. ETHKipu, the organizer of ethlatam, draws its name from an ancient Incan system—the Kipu. This was no ordinary communication tool; it was a way of recording information through knots and cords made of llama wool or cotton. The Incas used this to manage their vast empire, spreading across modern-day. It was a decentralized system of sorts, echoing today’s blockchain ethos.
