EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This proposal offers Dash an exclusive partnership with DeFrens — the largest Russian-speaking Web3 and AI tech community (10,000+ frens, 2,800+ active founders and developers in the chat).
The event is a focused offline conference dedicated to privacy, cryptography, and confidential infrastructure in Web3 — the exact narrative where Dash has strong positioning. During our events we partner with top universities such as MSU, HSE, MIPT, and many others.
