Ethereum Meetups
Frutales ๐ŸŠ

3 regions ยท 12 meetups ยท 1 coordinated network

Distributed infrastructure for quality Ethereum education in Mexico. A network of in-person meetups coordinated by Frutero and ETH Cinco de Mayo.

๐ŸŽฏ Mission

Accessible, consistent, and sustainable Ethereum education for all of Mexico

๐Ÿšง

The Problem

Geographic fragmentation: events are concentrated in CDMX. Inconsistent quality across communities. Lack of economic sustainability and continuity.

๐ŸŒ

The Solution

A distributed hub-and-spoke network: regional nodes coordinated by Frutero + ETHCDM. Unified content, shared branding, measurable impact.

๐Ÿ“Š

The Key Stat

Spanish-language cohorts achieve completion rates 3.6ร— higher than English-only resources.
