This encompasses projects focused on onboarding new users, fostering community engagement, organizing events or meetups, creating educational resources, or building platforms that facilitate interaction and collaboration within the Stacks ecosystem.

This could involve tools for verifying credentials, tracking contributions, establishing decentralized reputation systems, or creating social platforms that leverage blockchain-based identity.

This could include hackathons, workshops, conferences, meetups, or other events designed to foster community building, collaboration, and networking within the Stacks ecosystem.
