[ANN] Explore Blockchain Hubs Around the World with ‘CryptoSlate Places’

The blockchain community is undoubtedly a global, decentralized assortment of people and companies working collectively on an ever increasing wide scope of projects and potential use cases.

Accordingly, the extensive breadth of valuable blockchain information can be quite difficult to parse. In an effort to unify and integrate this domain, our newest feature, CryptoSlate Places, is designed to organize and coordinate news, events, companies, and projects for localized blockchain hubs worldwide.
