As scheduled and announced in the meetup and forum post, the Cardano Blockchain Meetup in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, took place on June 16, 2024, with 16 attendees.
During the meetup, we covered the following topics:
The latest updates on the Cardano ecosystem
Detailed insights into Lace Wallet ver.12
Updates and an AMA session about Intersect
Information on Catalyst Fund 12
Step-by-step instructions for using the Lace Wallet
Demo on obtaining test net tADA
Opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, collaborate, and build teams
Firstly, I, Ha Nguyen, introduced the meetup agenda.
Mr. Sang from Vcoincheck then presented critical news about Cardano from the past month.
I, Ha Nguyen, followed with a presentation on Intersect’s current operations and development updates, including:
Election of the Constitutional Committee
Instructions on voting and selecting suitable candidates for the Constitutional Committee
Organization of Constitution workshops globally
Schedule of DRep training sessions
Plans for hosting the Intersect Meetup in Vietnam in July
Everyone listened attentively and showed great interest and excitement in getting more involved in Intersect activities.
Ha Nguyen announced the DRep Cardano training schedule for the DRep Pioneer Program.
Members in Ho Chi Minh City expressed a strong desire to deepen their understanding of DRep.
They are eagerly scheduled to attend the upcoming offline training session on June 30, where they will have the opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge and enhance their skills.
Next, I presented the Catalyst schedule, including Community Review CR Level 2 and the voting period.
Mr. Sang (Vcoincheck) then provided comprehensive updates on the Hard Fork Chang. The attendees listened attentively, demonstrating their keen interest, and followed up with insightful and thoughtful questions.
Detailed insights into Lace Wallet ver.12
Most participants currently use the Yoroi wallet to store their ADA. During the meetup, they gained in-depth knowledge about the advanced features and benefits of the Lace Wallet. The attendees were particularly impressed by its capabilities and expressed enthusiastic anticipation for the mobile version.
Participants engaged in hands-on practice with the Lace Wallet, which included comprehensive instructions on its various operations and detailed guidance on how to send and receive tADA. This practical session provided valuable insights and enhanced their understanding of the wallet’s functionalities.
Finally, we had a lively Q&A session where attendees asked about voting for the Constitutional Committee election, staking multiple pools with the Lace Wallet, and the highlights of the Hard Fork Chang. It was gratifying to see the keen interest in Cardano and its decentralized governance activities.
The meetup was not overly crowded but was extremely engaging. Many new members, particularly ADA holders attending for the first time, were surprised and excited about the information regarding Catalyst and Intersect.
I am very grateful to Cardano and everyone who helped spread the word about the Cardano Blockchain Ho Chi Minh Meetup. A big thank you to the active community members who supported the logistics, making today’s meetup a success. 
The success of this meetup is a testament to the dedication and passion of the Cardano community in Ho Chi Minh City.
Once again, thank you to everyone for making this event a memorable and rewarding experience.
Best regards,
On behalf of the organizing committee,
Ha Nguyen - Cardano Ambassador
