Let’s be honest with ourselves.
Coding in Web3 and getting decentralized systems to play nice can be a world of pain. We all know it, masks off. Setting up environments, fighting with documentation, chasing down impossible errors, is something we don’t want to recommend to anyone to do, not again : )
What if you could skip the pain and just start breaking things? Enter playground . dot
At this Web3 Summit, a temporary, event-only environment is being fired up for pure, unadulterated experimentation. It’s a 2-day open workshop where you can explore a sandbox environment to create, modify, and share without the usual pains of dealing with decentralized infrastructure.
What you, your team, or your festival partners choose to spin up, modify, and remix inside this sandbox environment is 100% up to you. Take an existing project, modify it, share it, and see what happens. Meet new people, bring old ideas to life, and have fun. Feel the raw energy of a hackathon inside a web3 culture festival.
DevCult will be on the ground to support builders - like you - digging into the demo apps. There’s no competition here, it is just a celebration of open culture, learning by doing, and a €4.750 reward pool for builder teams pushing the tech to its limits.
The rewards are not the usual rewards from a hackathon, but they incentive participation. Participate and climb the leaderboard!
Prize category 1 - Leaderboard winners (most XP):
- €1000 winner leaderboard

Prize category 3 - crowd favourite app:
