→ Learn new insights around product design

→ Meet the builders shaping the next web

Cardano is calling: Last chance to pitch at Battle of the Builders

On November 11, Day Zero at w3.hub kicks off the Cardano Summit with a full day for founders, devs, and doers. And if you're building something real — this is your moment.

Battle of the Builders is the official startup competition of the Summit.

➔ 10 teams.

➔ 1 stage.

➔ A shot at investor intros, visibility, and ecosystem support.

Application deadline: October 3

We also sat down with Alex Maaza, Sustainability & Innovation Lead at the Cardano Foundation, to talk about what's next for Cardano, and what kind of builders the ecosystem is looking for right now.

And if you’re not ready to pitch yet, don’t worry.

Join the Layer Up Hackathon to build your MVP with support from top mentors and demo it live in Berlin. Join the Hackathon.
