"If you don't validate, others validate for you." With this premise, Meta Pool DAO announces a pivotal community event focused on shifting the narrative in Latin America: moving from passive crypto adoption to active infrastructure ownership. On January 28 at 4:00 PM (CDMX), the protocol will host a Space titled "Mexico Uses Crypto. But Who Validates When Your Region Doesn't?"

Defining "Frontier Markets" in Web3

While Mexico and Latin America are globally recognized for high talent density and rapid crypto adoption, a critical gap remains: the control of the "power infrastructure." Most nodes, validators, and governance decisions are historically concentrated in developed nations. This event will explore the concept of Frontier Markets—regions with high usage but low validation power—and how local communities are reclaiming that space.

Real Cases from Node Studio Cohort 2

The panel will feature four Mexican validators who successfully graduated from Meta Pool's Node Studio Program Cohort 2. These operators represent diverse sectors of the ecosystem and will share how they overcame the technical and capital barriers that typically exclude Latin Americans from network validation:

@HerDao_Mexico: Focusing on inclusion and DAO governance.
@digitalizados: Bringing an ecosystem-wide vision.
@rene__hdz (Staker Rene): Representing operational consistency.
@erikvalle_ (Frutero): Highlighting organic growth from a user base.

Breaking the Myths: "I'm Not Technical" & "I Have No Capital"

The agenda addresses the elephant in the room: the belief that running a node is reserved for wealthy corporations or elite developers. The speakers will discuss how the Node Studio program provided the delegation liquidity and simplified infrastructure needed to turn community leaders into network guardians.

"Protocols are global, but power is built locally," states the event manifesto. "If we want Mexico to have a voice in the future of Web3, we cannot just be users; we must be the ones validating the transactions."
