Welcome to our newsletter where we bring you the latest in IRL and builder crypto. In this issue:

  • Pop up cities 

  • Singapore ATH

  • Builder highlights

Crypto’s remote and distributed nature has fueled the rise of of pop up cities & crypto colivings (also inspired projects like the Network State, Praxis & Zuzalu).

In the absence of crypto HQ, these temporary places are the next best thing to bring like-minded builders together. Coming up next: 

ETH:

  • 🇺🇾 ZK City Argentina, Aug 19-23

  • 🇵🇹 Builder Monastery Ericeira, Sept 16 - Oct 7

  • 🇮🇩 Balaji’s Network State School Sept 23-Dec 23

  • 🇰🇪 Magma African Founder Residency, Sept 30 - Oct 12

  • 🇹🇭 Edge City Lana, Oct 10-Nov 10

Sol:

  • 🇹🇭 Thailand DAO, Sept 15-Oct 25th

  • 🇮🇩 Solana After Breakpoint in Bali - Sept 23-29

  • 🇦🇪 SuperteamAE Founders Villa, 6-26 Oct 

Find the full list here 

Singapore is about to reach ATH in tourism

Last year, Token2049 attracted 7k attendees and Formula 1 Grand Prix attracted 260k.

This year we’re adding even more: 

  • The ETH community is coming for ETHGlobal hackathon

  • The Sol community is coming for Solana Breakpoint conference (first time held in Asia!)

  • Balaji is bringing Network State Conference to SG 

You should attend if you’re fundraising, doing BD, can get your accommodation expensed or don’t mind paying premium.

(Anyone remember Devconnect 2022, when the entire city of Amsterdam ran out of hotel rooms?!)

If you’re in builder mode or are already planning Devcon, consider skipping. (It’s expensive, let’s face it)

We’re 1 month away, and that doesn’t stop us from recording 250 side events already 😩

Builder highlights

We love builders who ship: 

  • Talent Protocol is building an onchain resume, aka Talent Passport you can get for free here to start collecting onchain credentials.

  • Not enough consumer crypto apps? Superfluid Protocol took matters into their own hands launching Superboring & Alfa Frens 

  • Alex Netto from Blockful is hosting the first governance conference in Brazil

We’re a bit biased. Founders of these companies are also our members. 😉 

Is your company shipping something we should know about? Let us know 

Who are we?

  • We’re building cryptonomads.org - The place to discover crypto events, companies & professionals

  • We also run a private club -  a community of web3 founders and builders who meet at events worldwide.

Cheers!
