I believe Berlin is ready to lead again

GMGM and welcome to Community Alpha Part 99, the newsletter that’s manifesting the Santa Rally and making sure all your wishes come true.

But before we go full holiday mode, let me catch you up on what’s been happening and what’s still to come before the year wraps up.

• Berlin Blockchain Brunch

• The event you’ll wish you didn’t miss

• Scaling AI Agents (the smart way)

• Why 2026 is already shaping up to be different

It’s time to get serious, Berlin.

Berchain is hosting a brunch for everyone who’s serious about Web3 and about making Berlin a stronger hub for it. No fluff. No vague vibes. Just real talk:

What’s holding Berlin back? What do we need to unlock more collaboration and adoption?

Whether you’re a founder, policymaker, researcher, builder, or investor, if you’re ready to contribute, you’re invited.

During these two hours, we’ll:

• Collect ideas, problems & opportunities for Berlin

• Map who can contribute what (network, data, pilot spaces, expertise)

• Surface city challenges we can turn into hackathons & pilot projects in 2026

• Share what’s already planned and find chances to collaborate

The ultimate event experience

We’ve wrapped up our final events organized by us (w3.hub). The journey doesn’t end here, but with your ongoing support, we’re confident we’re heading in the right direction.

Last Thursday’s event was one of the most insightful moments of the year.

For us, an event is successful when people walk away with something real:

📌 New knowledge

📌 New customers or users

📌 New business partners

📌 Maybe even a new job

Yes you can combine all of this in one event. But only if you're clear about what you're creating and who you're creating it for.

Next step for us: Even more inclusive, open & diverse.

Big thanks to everyone who joined a w3.hub event this year, you’re the ones creating real value 🫶.

AI scaling blueprint

AI agents are taking over not just in crypto, but across the entire world.

At our upcoming evening session, you’ll learn how to scale AI support operations from the team behind FIN, the No. 1 AI agent for all types of support requests.

What to expect:

– Real-world success stories

– How to effectively work with your AI agent

– What great UX really looks like

– A glimpse into what’s coming in 2026

And who knows, we might even sneak in a touch of blockchain.

Never miss an event from us:

Wrapping up the year and lighting the way ahead

We ended the year on a super cozy w3.hub Xmas celebration, thank you to everyone who came by! 🧡

During the night, we also introduced our newest team member Alina, who gave a little sneak peek into what’s coming in 2026...

Our vision for 2026 is clear: Think beyond the Web3 bubble.

Build a program that welcomes a broader audience.

And spotlight the most impactful, real-world use cases from our ecosystem.

Let’s keep pushing, keep building, and rewrite the narrative together.

Because this space and this city, deserve better.
