The First Edition of OtterTank 🦦

Upcoming shenanigans in ETHRome
Join us for ETHRome this coming week for some privacy and hackathon shenanigans. Starting this Wednesday 5th, for the Web3 Privacy Now conference, where I will be opening the stage to talk about the Tornado Cash Case.
Followed the next day by our infamous Hacker Speed Dating, which we facilitated for the first time during ETHDam last May. This week we will be gathering and melting the ice for all the ETHRome hackers, helping them to get to know each other, share their project ideations and create teams. This is also the perfect event for the hackathon partners to get to know the hackers.
Last but not least, we will be organizing a little Privacy Soiree with Railgun and Waku! You will find yourself going down a spiral staircase stepping right into the 1920s. Brick walls, dimmed lights, and soft jazz will take you away from the chaos of the hackathon. Here you can talk to your peers privately at the candle lit tables. 🕯️
