ICP Hub Unites Global Web3 Builders
The global nature of the event was evident in the diverse range of participants, with representatives from countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Turkey, India, and many others across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Not only did the 24-hour stream make it trending on X, at one point of the program, the X spaces went so viral it crashed the spaces itself. This widespread participation highlights the growing interest in ICP and its potential to transform not just web3, but the internet as we know it. The ICP spaces were also hosted in multiple languages to truly capture the global scope and ideas of the entire community.
"The incredible turnout and engagement we witnessed during the Global Town Hall is a testament to the strength and passion of the ICP community all over the world," said Shann Holmberg, Co-founder of ICP Hub Portugal.
