Learn • Focus • Ideate • Test • Code • Collaborate • 

Looking for a place where you can test all the new tech and build? We got you covered!

The hacker cave will be your high-focus zone away from the busy conference ado.

It sets the right conditions for an individual to test new stuff on their laptop, to learn, or to hack on new ideas in a group.

Everything a hacker needs will be taken care of: cozy seating, electricity and internet and, of course, cyberpunk lighting and low-fi beats to get you in the right mood to build!

Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs)

Suggest what we should include, change, or subtract and help improve Devcon. Inspiration: DIPs are roughly inspired by the more decentralized PEP, BIP and EIP processes.
Goals: We aim to use open and value-driven Ethereum tech where it makes sense and benefits all attendees. We want to encourage collaboration between different projects.

Music & Art Space

Enjoy live music, visuals, and workshops in an immersive art space. Participate in jam sessions, sound healing, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. The Music space is an initiative by the Open-Source Orchestra who wrote this DIP.

Are you an Ethereum musician yourself? Join the jam by filling out this open call.

Treasure Hunt

Join a live escape game that combines cryptography, exploration, and puzzle-solving.

Interact with NPCs and unlock secret parts of the venue while progressing through increasingly challenging chapters. brought to you by Deadalus Industries and Social Dist0rtion Protocol via this DIP.
