Bitget, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, and Web3 company is excited to introduce the inaugural Blockchain4Her Awards. This prestigious event aims to honor the remarkable women spearheading innovation and promoting gender inclusivity in the blockchain industry. Get ready to mark your calendars! Nominations for this exciting event are officially open until August 30. The winners will be eagerly announced at the SheFi Summit in Singapore on September 17, 2024.

The Blockchain4Her Awards seek to recognize the accomplishments of women in blockchain and encourage discussions on gender equality within the industry. As part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Her program, the initiative was introduced in January with a $10 million commitment to foster diversity and inclusivity within the blockchain industry. A recent study by Bitget revealed that women-led blockchain startups received a mere 6% of the total funding, highlighting the pressing need for more support and investment in these initiatives.

The awards provide a platform for participants to showcase their contributions to Web3 and celebrate their achievements. The winners of this competition will be rewarded with scholarships, an exciting trip to Singapore to take part in the prestigious awards ceremony, and the opportunity to attend a range of blockchain events. They will also have the chance to engage in media speaking and interview opportunities and receive valuable mentorship to advance their careers in the field of blockchain.

The awards feature two categories:

Rising Female in Blockchain Award: Celebrates up-and-coming women eager to get into Web3, focusing on their potential, early achievements, and contributions to company growth. Three winners will receive scholarships to SheFi‘s 8-week blockchain MBA-style course, online speaking and interview opportunities, and mentorship in the Blockchain4Her community. Innovative Web3 Female Entrepreneur Award: Honors women founders driving Web3 advancements with transformative impacts. The winner will win a trip to Singapore for the SheFi Summit, dedicated media interviews, priority to ForesightX Accelerator, and an invitation to mentor future leaders in the Blockchain4Her community.

The Blockchain4Her Awards feature a prestigious panel of judges consisting of prominent leaders and Blockchain4Her Ambassadors who have made noteworthy contributions to the industry. One of the judges on the panel is Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget. Gracy’s extensive experience in the crypto world is complemented by her notable achievements as a UN Women Delegate and Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum, solidifying her influential position in the industry. Gracy will be joined on the panel by Yevheniia Broshevan, the Co-founder and CBDO of Hacken, Cecilia Hsueh, Co-founder and CEO of Morph, Tess Hau, Founder of Tess Ventures, and Maggie Love, Founder of SheFi.

As Gracy Chen, Initiator of Blockchain4Her and CEO of Bitget, emphasizes, “The Blockchain4Her Awards are more than just an honor. It’s a platform to showcase the remarkable contributions women are making in Web3. The blockchain industry holds immense potential, and it’s crucial that women have a strong voice and equal opportunities to contribute to its development. We encourage all eligible women to apply and showcase their impactful work.”
