Onallee | Building HERŌ NETWORK

We can’t be everywhere, all the time. But that doesn’t mean we stop showing up for our builders. Earlier this year, through our partnership with @protocollabs hackathon, we selected @fixerpabo_13 as our scholarship winner to attend Devcon. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do this. H.E.R. DAO is about more than events, hubs or geographical reach. It’s about opening doors, backing talent and supporting people to pursue opportunities that can change their lives. When we need to prioritize IRL activations in other parts of the world -we can continue to champion the builders in other regions and help them follow their dreams. That’s the kind of ecosystem we’re here to build. Congrats Chetana - we’re super happy you had an amazing life changing time ❤️

Big Week! See you @hackerhouses + @Solana Breakpoint 🔜 💫

This is what AI changes about cybersecurity. A vulnerability can sit in critical infrastructure for years. Then AI helps expose it, exploit attempts surge, and developers are suddenly racing to secure systems they may not even know are running PHP. Meanwhile, Railway has warned that customer secrets may have been exposed. For modern builders, your attack surface isn’t just your code. It’s your dependencies, deployment platform, credentials and AI providers. Security is now part of shipping. Not something you add after launch.

We’re not going to Devcon this year. Not because builders matter less. The opposite. For this next period we’re putting our time, energy, and resources where it’s needed most: SF + London We’re building Hero Network, creating new hubs, and opening new pipelines for founders, startups, and investment. The conference circuit is cooked anyway. We want to be intentional. More to come on the builders still being supported by @HERDAOIndia 🫡
