In an effort to unify and integrate this domain, our newest feature, CryptoSlate Places, is designed to organize and coordinate news, events, companies, and projects for localized blockchain hubs worldwide.

How did we decide which locations to launch first?

We will begin by launching with 11 places with the inclusion of other locations in the near future. As CryptoSlate tracks over 1,900 cryptocurrencies and over 300 events, we identified where the most activity is happening. The initial places were selected by analyzing source location from 1,300+ news stories on CryptoSlate.

The places launching today include:
