Ferdie Nervida Receives Outstanding Community Contribution Award at Philippine Block Awards
Recognition at the Philippine Block Awards highlights BPAP's continued work in blockchain education, public policy, and ecosystem development.
Read UpdateCommunity Approach
BPAP grows through referral, contribution, and trusted professional relationships.
We are moving away from open public invitations to join. BPAP is being shaped through referrals, introductions, and working relationships with practitioners who are already contributing meaningfully to blockchain, cybersecurity, education, research, policy, and ecosystem development.
Referral-led growth
Membership is being approached through professional introduction and trusted network relationships rather than open promotion.
Contribution first
We want BPAP to be defined by participation, substance, and professional credibility before scale.
Selective and aligned
The aim is to build a community of practitioners whose work, conduct, and direction fit the standards BPAP is trying to uphold.
Open to the right conversations
If you have been referred by a member, partner, or collaborator, BPAP can still be reached quietly through direct contact.
