Why we launched a token

GMGM and welcome to Community Alpha Part 87 your weekly live stream from Berlin, where the Web3 chefs are back in the kitchen and the next course is already sizzling.

• Last Call: Event tonight at w3.hub

• The guy who won the Near AI hackathon

• The Battle of the Builders

The intersection of AI & Blockchain

It’s finally happening tonight, our AI x Blockchain event is going live and you don’t want to miss this.

Starting at 6PM, join us at w3.hub for:

→ community exhibition corners

→ a brand-new, one-of-a-kind panel format

→ pizza (of course)

→ ...and yes, there will be a beer pong table (you heard it here first)

To warm you up, here’s a little food for thought. Our “rasende Reporterin” Vicky went out and asked real AI & Blockchain devs what this intersection means to them:

I hope you enjoyed it, and see you later!

Member Spotlight - Baris, Mintro.ai

Some builders stay quiet and just ship — and Baris is one of them.

He recently won two hackathons back to back, and we got an exclusive look at what he’s building. In fact, we even created a w3.hub community token during the demo (only for testing purposes, we’re not backing it by any means, sorry not sorry).

Baris is not just a w3.hub member, he’s deep in the founder grind right now. In his own words:

“I’m a passionate blockchain developer, and nowadays I’m having the full founder experience. For years, I have been working in start-ups in many different roles, and now I thought it’s my turn!”

And for those who didn’t watch the video, here’s the tl;dr on what Baris is building:

It’s a no-code platform where users can create their smart contracts with the help of AI agents. The code itself is not AI-generated, ensuring a secure approach to blockchain.

It also provides built-in dashboards to support project owners and users in managing smart contract functions or claiming/vesting their tokens.

It’s still early, join the waitlist now and be first to try it.

Cardano is taking over Berlin

On November 11, the Cardano Summit kicks off with Day Zero at w3.hub a full day for developers, founders, and early teams.

Battle of the Builders

Ten startups will pitch live to investors and ecosystem leaders. If you're building something real on (or for) Cardano, this is your shot.

Layer Up Hackathon

Already hacking? Join Cardano’s Layer Up track to build and validate your MVP with guidance from ecosystem experts and demo it live in Berlin.

Day Zero @ w3.hub

Before the Cardano Summit at the Gasometer, we're kicking things off at w3.hub (you don't need a Summit ticket for our event).

Look forward to:

→ Real talks on governance and decentralization

→ Live demos and project spotlights

→ Builders, believers, and Cardano contributors from around the world

→ Community drinks & good vibes to kick it all off

Cardano is looking for real builders, dreamers, and doers.

Never miss an event from us:

There are streams outside of pump.fun (and they actually provide real value):

Our TradFi Tour is in full swing, proof of suits:

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