ok everybody hi so I'm Windell I've been running since August I'm sorry April that the dev Grants Program which some of you may know about this was basically a program to kind of give some funding to projects on the side that weren't necessarily core core development but maybe actually quite related to it and this was you know that says not a bounty or a seed program and you know this was this was something that was initiated by dev and I think it's been actually quite successful and I wanna kind of give some examples of some of the things that got funded so Singh was an aetherium android client and this is something we gave 5k to which was built and is available and
something you should check out ethan bedded some of you guys may use this this is actually a tool and a tool set for actually having aetherium on embedded devices so we're talking about raspberry BeagleBone things like that and casper of course this is a really important piece of the core in a project and we are really excited about that one of course is it seems like you are too and meta mask as well so meta mask you guys probably saw come on come up with this presentation this is very exciting this is a really exciting development because basically you know this is probably how most people access the apps for quite some time so all of these essentially were allocated under an
initial tranche of funds and I would say that this program has been pretty successful because almost all these programs are these applications were successfully built so the good news is that we have found another hundred thousand dollars and I want to tell you a little about that that's thanks very much to Oh me say they're a Thai Japanese payment processor and Tomas Greco is here to say a word about that so Oh me say is a FinTech company offering payment and value transfer services in the asia-pacific region our offices are in Thailand and Japan how do
we say we believe that technology is a common good and should be accessible by all people especially technologies that have strong impact on social well-being as a financial service company it is our social responsibility to work to develop ways to help add value in an increasingly disintermediated society we are honored by the opportunity to support the decentralization revolution beginning with our contribution that will restart the etherium and dev Grants program we call on all other organizations please join us to help fund this work on open standards that are for public benefit if we work together remembering the public good our
work will be happy and useful and everyone will benefit thank you very much to all etherium developers volunteers and sponsor companies for making our contribution possible okay so one other thing so the last slide was actually contact information so if you guys have an idea or either something that you want to apply with please just write two grants at a theorem org or check us out at Twitter at dev grants so thanks very much that's it
