FAQ

Who is running BerChain?

BerChain was founded in 2017 and has been established as a non-profit, member-led association in January 2019 by 10 founding members at the heart of the Berlin Blockchain Ecosystem. BerChain is governed by its articles of association, and the day-to-day running is overseen by its Board.

Feel free to contact us at hello@berchain.com for more information.

I have an event, can you promote it?

To have a blockchain related event in or close to Berlin added to our calendar, please send an email with the event details to events@berchain.com, and preferably attach an .ics file with all the details that we can quickly import. We may not post events that are not easily accessible (e.g. due to high entrance fee).

In some cases we can also help with further/more active event promotion. Reach out to us by email to learn about the possibilities.

I have news can you publish them?

We are looking to make the blockchain scene in Berlin more visible so yes please provide us with your news. We know as founders how much time that might take. Talk to us we can try to automate as much as possible the process so you benefit more than you need to put work into that. 

I want to contribute with my time and skills. How can I help?

We are always happy with more skills, brains and hands to help us with our mission. We focus on those that can volunteer at least 10 hours a month to ensure the overhead remains manageable. Reach out to hello@berchain.com to initiate a discussion, ideally already stating what you would like to help on, and a bit about your background.

I am not based in Berlin, can I still be part of BerChain?

We aim to unite those who are regularly in Berlin and feel they are or want to be part of the growing blockchain community. If you don’t live in Berlin, or are there regularly but feel you are still connected to this community somehow, you are welcome to apply for our Slack.

If you want to become an association member, we will need to ensure that you are adding net value to the ecosystem, and not extracting it, and that your membership does not jeopardise the goals of the organisation in any way because you are based elsewhere. It is key to have a connection with Berlin in this case.
