Block 15 details & register →I want to join or invite someone
No membership needed. Open a project hub for status and documents, then work on Discourse or join upcoming meetings.
Browse active projects →I want to read or cite a past report
Use the publications library — study reports (e.g. NFT), meeting reports, and governance docs. These are not project hubs.
Browse study reports →I need records from a Block meeting
Start from Events, then open that Block’s meeting reports.
Browse events →I want the big picture for a working group
Working group pages cover chairs, Discourse, and calendars. From Projects you can filter hubs by WG.
Working groups →Example: NFT Study Report
The NFT Study Report Part 1 (2022) is a Historical publication. It does not have a project hub because there is no ongoing workstream to join.
