Hedera provides secure, scalable infrastructure for real-world decentralized applications in finance, AI, and sustainability, governed by global enterprises.

A Hedera MVP works hard to grow, foster and educate the Hedera community. These individuals have gone above and beyond as volunteers in that capacity. Whether it is talking about Hedera with their friends & colleagues, contributing to the next big open source project, planning a meetup/conference, or shipping a decentralized application to mainnet; these talented, inspiring individuals are key to moving the Hedera network forward at all different levels. Thus, we’re very excited to introduce you to the 2020 Hedera MVPs.

  • Contribute
    • MVPs have demonstrated their ability to provide relevant insights into the fast-moving world of web 3.0. Whether training new developers, speaking at conferences, or writing blog posts – helping educate is key to a Hedera MVP.
  • Share
    • MVPs are key enablers for those new to Hedera or seasoned veterans. Answering questions in Discord, Stack overflow, Telegram, etc., are keyways to scale our collective understanding, and help promote the welcoming community Hedera is proud to have.
