Community nights like these

Last week at w3.hub, we asked the big question: Do AIs Dream of Blockchains?

Instead of another boring conference-style event, we mixed things up: Jägermeister as the icebreaker, a Polaroid photo booth, pizza & drinks, creative community corners, and a panel with industry experts.

The discussions showed why AI agents need blockchain for micro-payments, transparency, and accountability. And even an AI agent itself joined the debate in real time.

This mix of fun, creativity, and deep conversations is exactly what makes w3.hub a community space. But in order for us to grow together, we need more meetups, workshops, parties, etc.

Next up: DeBlock Party – join the Deblock team for a casual afterwork drink at w3.hub in Berlin, explore their app, and connect with like-minded people.

Got an idea for your own event? Bring it to life with us.

Member Spotlight - Julia Deufel

This week, we’re spotlighting a powerhouse at the intersection of well-being, storytelling, and education. You might have seen her hosting events at WINPrivacy, guiding dialogue through her Reflections & Connections journaling series, or repping Web3 as a Global Ambassador for SheFi.

With over 10 years of experience in tech, culture, and philanthropy, she brings real-world wisdom to Web3 and a whole lot of soul. Whether she’s writing, speaking, or curating spaces, she’s all about autonomy, trust, and showing up for others.
