Maintainer Days on January 26-27 in New York City

When and Where

Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27 in New York City at 300 Kent Avenue, Suite 707, Brooklyn, NY. Thank you to LayerZero for hosting this event.

Who Can Attend

Anyone can attend as long as you are a maintainer of a LF Decentralized Trust project or lab. If you'd like to attend but aren't a maintainer yet, there is still time to get involved with an existing project or lab or to start your own project or lab and become a maintainer before the event. If you'd like help with the process for how to become a maintainer, reach out and we're happy to help.
