The Blockchain Revolution at Google DevFest

On Saturday, November 16, SpaceDev CEO and co-founder Federico Sendra participated in the renowned Google DevFest event. Google DevFests are annual tech conferences organized by Google Developer Groups (GDG) communities around the globe. These gatherings provide a platform for local developers to connect, learn, and build using Google's tools and technologies.

• Technical Talks: Presentations on the latest Google technologies and tools, led by experts and Googlers.
• Hands-On Workshops: Interactive sessions where attendees gain practical experience with diverse technologies.
• Networking Opportunities: Spaces to connect with other professionals, share knowledge, and collaborate on projects.

This year, the organizers sought to feature someone who could expound on a disruptive technology: something innovative that sparks interest and introduces new ways of doing things.

• The concept of trust: what it is and why it matters.
• Real-world examples: from scams to security issues and the challenges users face.
• Why now is the perfect time to learn and build on blockchain, illustrated with real-life use cases.
• Blockchain transforming the financial paradigm in 2025 (SWIFT, VISA, MasterCard, etc.)

It was an unmissable opportunity to connect with people who may not have had much information about what decentralized technologies mean for society and its evolution. By bridging this gap, new builders are inspired to join the web3 ecosystem.
