# Achievements
Our first and successfull achieved goal in 2022 was the organization of an online conference (containing 15 talks and 3 short-courses) that was streamed to our YouTube channel: https://tinyurl.com/ysand33a and also aimed to identify at least 3 iberoamerican impact projects. An independent committee was assembled for that task and 6 iberoamerican impact projects were identified and rewarded using tokens from (i) a CrowdFunding initiative in partnership with NFTfy (https://www.nftfy.org/), BlockchainRio (https://www.blockchainrio.com.br/), Ribon (https://ribon.io/), BanklessBr (https://artigos.banklessbr.com/) and PlustusFi (https://plutusfi.io/) and also from (ii) Shade Protocol (https://shadeprotocol.io/).
