Greetings, blockchain enthusiasts! Allow us to introduce ourselves: Rodrigo van Asseldonk and Vince van Hoesel, co-founders and presidents of the European Students Blockchain Coalition (ESBC). But who are we, and why should you care? Let's dive in. Our journey began with a simple observation: a lack of an overarching coalition to unite student blockchain associations across Europe. Determined to fill this void, we took the initiative to establish a club within our own university. Little did we know, this humble beginning would evolve into something much greater.

The inception of the European Students Blockchain Coalition (ESBC) aligns with broader trends observed across varied domains, wherein stakeholders recognize the imperative of collaboration and concerted action in navigating the intricacies of the digital era. By uniting student blockchain associations from across Europe, ESBC harnesses the collective energy and creativity of its constituents to address shared challenges, seize opportunities, and shape the trajectory of blockchain innovation.
