Kickback powered side events at Devcon5 – wearekickback
It’s my third year since I started hosting events on Kickback (back then used to be called something else). It started as a small dinner party in Shanghai leading to Prague where we relaunched as a general platform.
This year, we are proud to announce our 10 launching partners who will be hosting events on Kickback during Devcon5.

Pretty much a few Kickback events every day! Who will be repeating the glory of last year?
In addition to gaining extra DAI/ETH for turning up, we are brainstorming ideas to reward users by attending many of Kickback powered events with OrochiDAO members. Stay tuned for the upcoming announcements.
Using Kickback is pretty straight forward yet you have to be aware of a few gotchas which is unique to have crypto incentives on Blockchain like Kickback.
High Gas price
Unfortunately, there has been an increase and volatility on gas price for the last few weeks .
You may want to follow the advice of these veterans so that your transaction doesn’t pend forever.
My go-to tool is Gitcoin heatmap which visualises when is the best time to RSVP.
What happens if your transaction gets stuck forever? If you RSVPed using Metamask, You can either “Speed Up” or “Cancel” your transaction to send it again.
Checking in
Check in is done by event organisers manually via our web admin page. People often get missed out to be checked in because they come too late. The best way to protect your commitment is to come early and make sure to check on the site that your status is “Marked attended”. Read the following for more details.
After graduating Status incubate program last year, we have received grants from Consensys (Crypto user education and on-boarding), MakerDAO (DAI integration) , and Metacartel (Orochi DAO initiative) and their financial contribution helped us a lot to progress.
In addition to these organisations, we also started receiving individual donations from Gitcoin grants.
Not only financial contributions, but we have received a couple of PR for improvements as well as feature requests on Github issues.
When encountering bugs and UX issues, thank you so much for reporting to us as well as waiting to be fixed very patiently.
Last not but least, we would like thank all partners of two organisations we recently formed. Devcon5 is a huge event and we can’t make impact on our own.
Osaka Blockchain Week is the collective of people from Osaka and the aim is to facilitate hosting side events. The Osaka Blockchain Week calendar now hosts over 50 events and still counting .If you want to get up to date info, please join their telegram channel.
OrochiDAO started as a single blog post, received a grant from Metacartel, grew into over 10 members with 5000 DAI in our DAO and new members still keep joining.
Not only sponsoring our own “The year of DAOs: Moloch Rises” event, we are also planning ways to make side events fun and probably will have our own social event. To get up to date info, please follow our Twitter account.
