As ETHDenver and BUIDL Week conclude in snowy Colorado, there’s a palpable sense of excitement surrounding all the creative way Ethereum technology was put to work over the course of proceedings. What makes ETHDenver special is that it’s one of the few events where developers can hang out with developers to do what developers do — make stuff and be weird! And, looking at how things went down in Denver, it’s clear that there was a lot of both going on…

While major announcements by the likes of Rhombus, Shapeshift, and UNICEF taking the headlines, it was Buffidai — a Dai-based digital asset minted for ETHDenver —decentralized finance, and all the cool tech built during the BUIDLathon that showcased what blockchain technology can do in the here and now. Elsewhere, a wild roving Bufficorn caused mischief and mayhem wherever he or she went, and the ETHDenver Art Gallery showcased some of the ETH-inspired or ETH-created art being made around the world right now.

Here’s all of the cool stuff that happened at ETHDenver…

BuffiDai

Building on MakerDAO’s Dai Stablecoin, ETHDenver saw the creation of BuffiDai, a localcoin digital asset that runs on an Ethereum xDai sidechain that was created for use at the event to purchase food, beverage, and swag all weekend.
