 Hello, everyone. Welcome to DevCon 5. And welcome to Japan. Konnichiwa, everyone. Yoko so DevCon 5, we're welcome to Japan. To be honest, when we were deciding on the application of DevCon this year, I wasn't really sure about bringing this to Japan. I know many of the community members wanted this to be in Japan. But selfishly, I thought that would give me extra pressure, because I am from here. But now that we are all here, I am excited that our community members are here to have meaningful conversations and showcase what you have built this year, and also discuss the future of ETM. So today, the topic of my talk is about growing the way we support related to what we have been communicating. So for those who have heard my talks or others and may know that we often talked about this subtraction mindset, it's the idea that normally at the typical organizations, they tend to take and also extend. But ETM tries to share its influence and also resources so that everyone can grow. And I introduced this beauty in subtraction last year at DevCon. But there is more to this subtraction. It's beyond just positive feelings or just a philosophy. It is a discipline. Subtraction does not mean EF is doing less, nor working less than before. Subtraction is about disciplined action. That is why it is different from minimalism. We are subtracting our power in the mindful way for a long-term benefit of ETM. Like artisan or artwork, the work has to be precise. And once we overdo it, even if the decision is not bad, it's hard to fix it later. This work requires keen intuition and thoughtfulness, but we still want to take some risk and also encourage innovations. So with all these, we actually have to work more to subtract our power. Here's a key insight of ETM that guides how EF grows. The word that stands out in my mind is support. We have to give flexible support to support this very unique ecosystem. And growing the ways we support is our main focuses this year. And many of you know that EF supports through grants. This is a list of grantees this year, 2019. And congratulations to all of the grantees that are on the list. We don't just support by looking at project. We sometimes we give support for the entire domain, such as how do we support multiple teams that are working on the ETM two-point-one clients or state channels and so on. And in the middle, I listed security because that's also deserved to be one of the domains. And of course, without core infrastructure, ETM cannot work. And there are teams that are working so hard to maintain and also improve it. And going further, as part of being flexible, we sometimes support incubating some project for them to be kicked off. And also support many communities and help ETM reach beyond blockchain. And I'd like to mention, as an example, ETM.org is run by multiple community members, working very, very hard every day. And I hope you are enjoying weekly updates that are happening now. And also, they just implemented 10 extra languages that are translated by all the community members globally that want you to do this. And that is really, I think, very beautiful about this ETM ecosystem. So really, congratulations to the team of the website. So as you can see, there are many types of support to increase our flexibility. Our grants program has gone into an ecosystem support program now. We continue to provide financial support for those who deserve it. But we try to think about other ways to support by thinking, what are the things that only the ETM Foundation can do? So this is the website of the ecosystem support program. Please check it out. And so far, I just showed what we have been doing. But it also matters why we have been doing this way. And if you want to listen to the details, Aldo is going to be your talk 5 PM tomorrow. So please come and join us tomorrow. And I just spoke about what EF is doing. And as we continue to make these efforts with other community members, we see big ETM news coming in every day. But the gloss is happening. Here are some charts that you can easily show the gloss with numbers. And every day, we hear different news happening, especially lately, sometimes from big enterprise side. But it's been exciting despite the price of all the crypto. And with all these growth, I still think it comes down to why we are working on ETM. And it is important for us to keep talking about this. And there is my personal story that led to my own vision of ETM outside of my career. This is my dad and me as a baby. I was born and raised in Japan. And my dad was a little stubborn, difficult. He was successful in his career. But unlike many other Japanese, he never trusted those who has a title as experts. So he told me just because someone has a title as a doctor, that doesn't mean what they're saying is right. So I learned from him that to question everything and to do your own research before making any decision. And also, things were not equal for women here, but still not, unfortunately. And I did not think many things were not fair to everyone. So I became more sensitive to unfairness, injustice, and imbalance. My core values remain the same today standing here. And I would like to see the world where we have less unfairness, imbalance, and injustice. And I believe blockchain can help that. And that's the vision we do not want to forget. And one of the important purposes of this platform is to share our vision, your own vision, and also inspiration and discuss why we are working on the Ethereum. And with that, this year, we welcome 52 scholars from 25 countries that list this year, also supported by Consensus and Unicef Innovation. So thank you so much. And there was an application process. And criteria was whether they represent the gender, ethnicity, or region that are normally underrepresented in tech. And also, the needs of financial support for their learning. And of course, their passion in learning Ethereum. The passion of these members is very inspiring. I heard a story about a scholar from Egypt. She wanted to learn about Ethereum, but it was really hard for her to know where to start as a mother of women. And so coming here is really a big deal for her as a learning process. And also, there was another person who is a refugee from Syria, living in Berlin. He wants to learn about Ethereum to find a way to empower other refugees. And also, for them to come all the way to Japan wasn't really easy, like compared to many of you, or even, of course, me being Japanese. Some scholars from Afghanistan, they couldn't get a visa at their local place. And they had to fly all the way to Dubai and wait there for days for the visa to come. And we had to keep supporting them by wiring money with Western Union, which kind of showed the problem that we have in this society. But it was really hard for them to come here, but the depression shows that this is a life-changing opportunity for them. So I really encourage you to find them, to talk to them. They are supposed to have orange wristband. And the reason why we do this is not just to help them. I think more importantly, I want them to inspire us. And eventually, we can learn from them. The real interesting use cases of Ethereum are happening in the areas where solving problems in front of them would change their life immediately. So we are not only doing this to help them, I believe actually they will help us to find ways to use Ethereum more. And last, but not least, speaking of our region, today we have a big, great news to tell you from the community, actually. So just today, UNICEF announced crypto-denominated fund to support open-source technology, benefiting children and the future of the children, and EF is supporting this initiative as a first partner. Thank you so much. And this is something new that we are doing. Of course, we have many other priorities. We do not forget that, but this is really important for us to share our vision. And the UNICEF innovation team has been working so hard. I was receiving updates every single day, the last couple of months, especially. And I was just exhausted by hearing that. But you can imagine how hard it is when I heard about this idea. Imagine doing this at one big organization at United Nations, which is normally very conservative. So they did a lesson teaching how to, first, starting with what is crypto and then how to use war and to really advocate. And what's great is they really believe in the power of crypto, not just blockchain, not just as a currency. So this is why this is crypto-denominated fund, which is, I think, very, very revolutionary. So how it works is, for example, we provide ETH, and they provide ETH as ETH to support these startups they are supporting. Those startups are the startup that are working on their own problems in their own regions using blockchain. Please, crypto is the one that is doing like your digital prescription using blockchain solution. And there are other projects, the one is Utah Pixar is working on DAO, it's sort of DAO solution. And the last one is working on the funding solution with using blockchain. And so what is exciting about this part is, it's a small start, you know, the donation, we actually, yes, we successfully send, am I supposed to be able to say this? There are many things I'm not supposed to say because they're a big organization. But we were supposed to be able to successfully send, under ETH to UNICEF plans for it. And then they distributed to the headquarters and then the headquarters distributed to these all these project already that happened last night. So it was really a lot of work. And then really congratulations to the team, Chris Fabian and Christina and all the UNICEF innovation team who've been working on this territory. And then thank you for letting us be part of this. And I think this was a perfect way to kick off, they've gone. Last three, we are not just in Japan, we are in Osaka. Who are here for the first time? So I don't know how many of you have recognized Osaka is a very unique city in Japan. And actually it is a city known for comedians. This city produced most number of comedians. So if you talk to a random stranger on the street, you're supposed to say something funny. So try that. But anyway, there are many, many interesting that you can try here, many interesting food, okonomiyaki takoyaki, which I love. And also I'd like to thank, send big thank you to the city of Osaka that provides us this opportunity, but also that just gave us this beautiful drum performance this morning. And thank you very much Osaka city. Okay, that is all from me. And hope you enjoy DevCon and hope to talk to you.
