Our Next Flagship Event

November 27 is the date you’ll want to highlight in bold on your calendar.

We’re bringing together the crème de la crème of the machine economy, builders, thinkers, and innovators shaping the real-world layer of Web3.

While we’re still waiting for our w3.Neo to arrive, we’ve lined up top-tier speakers, hands-on projects in our community booth corners, and yes refreshments (Jääääger included 🍸).

Secure your spot and discover how Web3 is powering real-world use cases that improve existing infrastructure, think real problems meeting innovative solutions.

New rockstars entered the community

Fresh from the Build Station, founders Philipp and Newton are joining the w3.hub coworking crew with their project Janus.

They’re already off to a strong start, as one of the winners of the Börse Stuttgart track and we’ll find out if they also take home one of the global hackathon prizes at Breakpoint in December.

So, what is Janus all about?

They’re building the global liquidity layer for global supply chains — sounds big, right? Check out this tweet for a glimpse into their vision:

Our friends at Superteam Germany beat the w3 content wizards to it and already interviewed Newton. Here’s how the project started and how you might get involved:

We’re excited to watch the momentum behind Janus grow and will watch closely.
