Victoria, Seychelles, August 20, 2024, Chainwire

Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural Blockchain4Her Awards, celebrating women driving innovation and gender inclusivity in the blockchain industry. Nominations are now open until August 30, with winners to be announced at the SheFi Summit in Singapore on September 17, 2024.

The Blockchain4Her Awards are designed to honor the achievements of women in blockchain while also fostering dialogue around gender equality in the industry. The initiative, part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Her program, launched in January with a $10 million commitment to promote diversity and inclusion in the blockchain space. A recent Bitget study found that women-led blockchain startups received only 6% of total funding, highlighting the need for such initiatives.

The awards are a platform for participants to “Shine Bright Like a Woman” by recognizing their contributions to Web3. Winners receive scholarships, a trip to Singapore to attend the awards ceremony and various blockchain events, media speaking and interview opportunities, and mentorship to further develop their careers in blockchain.

The prizes are awarded in two categories:

• Award for emerging woman in blockchain: Celebrates emerging women eager to get into Web3, focusing on their potential, early achievements, and contributions to the company’s 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 female founders who are driving Web3 advancements with transformative impact. The winner will win a trip to Singapore for the SheFi Summit, special media interviews, priority access to ForesightX Accelerator, and an invitation to mentor future leaders in the Blockchain4Her community.

The Blockchain4Her Awards feature a distinguished panel of judges comprised of influential leaders and Blockchain4Her ambassadors who have made significant contributions to the industry. Among these esteemed judges is Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. With a deep history in the crypto space, Gracy was also recognized as a UN Women Delegate, Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum, further highlighting her influential position in the industry. Joining Gracy on the panel are Yevheniia Broshevan, 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.

If Gracy Chen, founder of Blockchain4Her and CEO of Bitgetemphasizes, “The Blockchain4Her Awards are more than just an honor. It is a platform to showcase the remarkable contributions of women to Web3.
