How to do cool events?

Too many events have turned into sales pitches. And honestly — that sucks.

So what does it actually take to create a community-centered experience?

→ Community ≠ Audience

Too many hosts think people are there to consume. A real community event makes guests part of the story, not people staring at their phones.

→ Timing matters

Starting late, dragging the agenda, no time left for conversations = wasted opportunity. Short, sharp, social is always better.

→ Depth over reach

I'd rather have 40 people who care than 400 who don’t. Curation beats mass-invites every single time.

→ Think beyond the stage

Great events don’t just happen up front. They happen in the side corners, over drinks, at the ping pong table. Build space for those micro-moments.

→ Don’t fake the vibe

If your event is basically a lead-gen funnel disguised as a “community night,” people feel it instantly. Authenticity is the only way people come back.

We believe we’ve poured all of that into a unique event format.

Bluerails is out of stealth

The team is building a programmable treasury layer that helps global businesses move money in, manage it, and pay out — across Europe, GCC and South Asia.

With instant local payouts, compliant treasury tools, and cost-effective on-ramps, they’re solving real problems for finance teams.

We're proud to back this vision through w3.fund and excited to support the builders behind it.

How Twyne is fixing lending markets

A new launch is making waves across the Ethereum ecosystem: Twyne is live and it's taking aim at some of the biggest inefficiencies in today’s lending markets.

One of the minds behind it is a familiar face at w3.hub, but before we share that story, let’s take a closer look at what Twyne is building.

Today's lending markets suffer two core inefficiencies:

1. over half the lenders are idle, leaving money on the table

2. many borrowers are liquidated way too early

Instead of tackling them separate, Twyne makes these 2 problems solve each other.

Twyne lets lenders delegate their idle borrowing capacity to borrowers.

• Lenders earn extra yield on unused credit

• Borrowers reach higher liquidation LTVs

The result: more granular risk profiles, segregated exposure, while keeping liquidity aggregated on existing lending markets. Twyne just launched on Ethereum, try it out now.

Never miss an event from us:

Hackathon season is back, w3.hub is packed, and innovation is in the air.

That’s it for today, thank you & lfg - w3.hub intern 🫡
