Full Builders Meetup Program Announced!
As we are getting closer from the start of the first builders meetup, which will take place IRL in Athens on June 21–23, we’re very happy to showcase the full & exciting program that we’ll go through with all participants!
Who’s attending?
More than 60 people are coming to Athens! 10 of the core-contributors will be there, as well as some of your well-known community mods and members of the Blockflow DAO.
But, more importantly, more than 50 devs/builders from your favorite dApps & services will be there: Ayin, Pyreplay/Alph.land, Ulam, Invariant, Linx, Sezame, Alphbanx, Deadrare, Mobula, NTV, AlphPro, Alphaga, GoldcastleClub, Shin, Alephium Battle, HodlAlph & GigaCheng!
And some friends, sponsors & partners will also be attending: Bity, Nym, Blockflow DAO, Ergo, Hearst, Antpool & Hodling.
What’s the program?
The program has been built the same way the Alephium ecosystem is being built. From an initial impetus provided by the core-contributors, and with huge participation from the community.
We want to thank all of the attendees who stepped up to bring their unique perspectives to the table.
