333 Festival // Web3 Hackathon

Join us for a month-long learning experience to demystify the crazy world of Web3. See past the nonsense to what Web3 really has to offer and learn some core skills in the process.

📖 We’re bringing together developers to collaboratively learn, build and share curiosities, doubts, ideas, and knowledge.
