"Happy 3rd Birthday, DappLearning! " With cheers all around, the meetup event concluded successfully.

Organizing an event of this magnitude for the first time, after over a month of intense yet fulfilling preparations and overcoming numerous obstacles, we ushered in a highly meaningful three-year anniversary celebration. With hearts filled with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, we harbored various concerns leading up to the event, only to find ourselves surprisingly calm as the day arrived. The event proceeded smoothly; even a heavy downpour failed to deter attendees, as every seat was occupied, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie!

At the outset of the event, Yan, co-founder of the DappLearning community, delivered an engaging opening address. Reflecting on the three-year journey of the DappLearning community's development, Yan outlined the community's future roadmap and introduced the event's sponsor, Devcon. Attendees were moved by how DappLearning had weathered the ups and downs of three years while staying true to its original intentions, and they also expressed keen anticipation for this year's Devcon.

Mashiat Mutmainnah from RISC Zero delivered a remote presentation titled "Risc0 zkVM and its Ecosystem," elucidating the workings, advantages, and real-world application examples of Risc0 zkVM. Attendees gained a comprehensive understanding of Risc0 zkVM and many expressed enthusiasm about exploring the use of its related technologies in the future.

Leo Lara from PSE presented on "Modern ZKP Compilers," highlighting the significance, fundamental principles, and optimization techniques of ZKP compilers.

Teacher Yu Guo from SECBIT Labs, drawing upon his personal experiences in learning and teaching, delivered a presentation titled "My Journey of Learning Zero-Knowledge Proofs," guiding the audience on how to approach studying Zero-Knowledge Proofs. His humorous and lively language invigorated the atmosphere, making the session very dynamic. Many beginners found his sharing particularly helpful, as it outlined a promising learning path for them. Meanwhile, more experienced developers acknowledged that there was plenty of content to help them identify gaps in their knowledge and improve their skills.

Chee from Nethermind gave an insightful yet accessible presentation on "Stark and FRI in a Data Availability Sampling Scheme," which was well-received by the audience with an engaging atmosphere that sparked numerous questions from attendees. Furthermore, Chee introduced us to the ETHKL community in Malaysia, a collaborative community of DappLearning that has also organized many fascinating events. There's keen anticipation for even more cooperation opportunities in the future.

Moderated by Fiona, the panel discussion featuring haoyun, Yu Guo, Paco, Stan, and Joly delved into topics surrounding their entry into the industry and memorable moments within it. The relaxed panel atmosphere, coupled with the guests' amusing personal anecdotes, frequently drew knowing smiles and thoughtful reflections from the audience. Concluding the session, each panelist offered words of encouragement and well-wishes to DappLearning, with everyone expressing their hope to reconvene at the next event.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone's contributions, which have made this event an overwhelming success, surpassing all expectations.

First and foremost, our heartfelt gratitude goes to Fiona, who provided invaluable guidance throughout the planning process and gracefully took on the role of host. Her efforts were instrumental to the smooth execution of the event.
