I’m all in for the Cypherpunk era
Community Alpha Part 87
GMGM and welcome to Community Alpha Part 87, the newsletter that gives you more opportunities to capitalize on than a crypto bull run.
Let me give you a tour
We found some cracked devs
The Age of Cypherpunk
One place, many ways to work
Most people think w3.hub is just an office or an office for crypto nerds.
And sure, that might be partly true. But it’s also so much more than that.
It feels more like a home, a space to chill, debate, play, and yes... occasionally get some work done.
One building, many ways to work

Our members work across all kinds of chains, in every corner of the Web3 space. But what connects them is a shared belief: The future will be built on blockchain rails.
Are you a believor? Then we’d be happy to welcome you.
The hottest startups in AI x Blockchain
18 project pitches, 36 hours of hacking, 50+ hackers presenting and unlimited fun building together. That pretty much sums up the very first Algorand Hackathon in Berlin.
The mix of developers, mentors, and creative minds turned the 3rd floor of w3.hub into a playground for AI innovation on the blockchain.
People camped out in tents, coded all night, and shared meals in between.
@w3_hub@42_berlin@algodevs@AlgoFoundation@LazystarDotAlgo@victorestival@gulsah_yur@_ramsrigiri It worked really well in w3hub!
There were also private conf rooms where teams could hone in and focus, as well as a corridor of decks/outlets where it was more quiet (great for when they were filming their demos!)
And of course the main room shown in the video above 🙌

We were there capturing behind-the-scenes moments, and yes — we may or may not have interviewed the winners before they even won. Stay tuned for that.
What we can share today:
Next Thursday, we’ll dive deeper into the intersection of Blockchain and AI as we prepare to host our very own event on this theme:
PS: We’ve got a few surprises planned...

Robinhood has tokenised over $5M+ worth of stocks for EU customers
This week, they deployed 197 new smart contracts. Could these be the long-awaited tokenised pre-IPO stocks?
We might find out tonight.
