Modular Blockchain: The Decentralized Future Is Born in Costa Rica
March 24, 2025

Blockchain technology, often compared to a shared and secure digital ledger, is transforming industries and redefining the way we interact online. Imagine a system where information is transparent, immutable, and decentralized, eliminating the need for intermediaries and increasing trust in transactions. From cryptocurrencies to smart contracts and decentralized applications, blockchain is opening up a world of possibilities for innovation and collaboration.La tecnología blockchain, a menudo comparada con un libro de contabilidad digital compartido y seguro, está transformando industrias y redefiniendo la forma en que interactuamos en línea. Imagine un sistema donde la información es transparente, inmutable y descentralizada, eliminando la necesidad de intermediarios y aumentando la confianza en las transacciones. Desde criptomonedas hasta contratos inteligentes y aplicaciones descentralizadas, la blockchain está abriendo un mundo de posibilidades para la innovación y la colaboración.

In the fast-paced world of blockchain technology, a new narrative is emerging strongly: modularity. Gone are the days of monolithic blockchains, rigid structures that limited scalability and innovation. Today, we find ourselves on the threshold of an era where flexibility and specialization are key to building a decentralized future.

This paradigm shift will be the central theme of the keynote address by Moncho Santos Dios, CTO of Cumulo Pro, at the upcoming TicoBlockchain 2025 Blockchain & Fintech Day. Moncho, a technology visionary and expert in infrastructure and validation visiting us from Spain, will guide us through the evolution of blockchain, from its beginnings to the revolutionary modular architecture that is driving unstoppable applications.

Este cambio de paradigma será el tema central de la keynote de Moncho Santos Dios, CTO de Cumulo Pro, en el próximo. Moncho, un visionario de la tecnología y experto en temas de infraestructura y validación que nos visita desde España, nos guiará a través de la evolución de la blockchain, desde sus inicios hasta la revolucionaria arquitectura modular que está impulsando aplicaciones imparables.

But this isn’t just a theoretical conversation. In Costa Rica, we’re taking the first steps toward becoming a modular hub for Latin America. From the Modular Meetup we organized last year at Cripto Cantina, where Moncho introduced us to this innovative concept, to the recent First Hacker House Costa Rica 2025 held in February, we’ve been cultivating a vibrant ecosystem of developers and entrepreneurs passionate about modularity.

Five exceptional projects emerged from this Hacker House, in addition to the winning project of the ETH Pura Vida 2024 Hackathon, which will have the opportunity to present their innovations to a prestigious panel of venture capital experts at TicoBlockchain 2025. Tomás Castro from Caricaco Ventures, Carlo Blasio from Insta Global Ventures, and Soren Azorian from Redline Lab will evaluate the potential of:

  • Himera: AI Powered Descentralized Exchange (DEX)
  • Narratum: Entertainment Hub – AI-powered games and stories on a circular revenue platform..
  • Haibu: Decentralized social media platform.
  • Naki: Stablecoin wallet.
  • HoriZen: NFT Video Descentralized Exchange (DEX)
  • Invitado especial: Revo – Farmers, a decentralized marketplace for the agricultural sector.

The diversity and interest of these projects demonstrate the talent and creativity we are cultivating in Costa Rica. And the quality of the panel ensures that these projects will have the opportunity to connect with the seed capital they need to grow and prosper.

From the Blockchain Association and the Costa Rica Fintech Association, co-organizers of the TicoBlockchain 2025 Blockchain & Fintech Day, we invite you to participate in the event this Thursday, March 27th, at the Barceló San José Hotel, to learn more about this topic and connect with the people who are driving it in Costa Rica and the Latin American region.

Modularity is not just a trend, it is the future of blockchain, and Costa Rica is ready to lead this future.
