About this event
If you care about where social, onchain identity, and builder culture are heading, this is the room you’ll want to be in. Farcaster x Base Builders brings together people who are actively exploring what happens when strong developer ecosystems meet open social networks—face to face, in Zürich. This is designed as a real-world meetup for conversations that are useful, specific, and easy to continue after the event. Whether you’re building, experimenting, investing time in the ecosystem, or simply trying to get closer to the people shaping it, this is a chance to meet others doing the same. About the Event Farcaster x Base Builders is an in-person community gathering focused on connection, discovery, and practical exchange. The format is simple on purpose: bring together builders, curious participants, and ecosystem-minded people in one place so conversations can happen naturally and momentum can build. Farcaster and Base each attract people who care about open systems, strong internet-native communities, and products that feel early because they are. This meetup sits at that intersection. It’s a space to talk about what you’re building, what you’re seeing in the ecosystem, what feels promising, and where collaboration might make sense. Rather than positioning itself as a formal conference or highly programmed summit, this event leans into the strengths of a meetup format. That means room for introductions, organic conversations, and the kind of back-and-forth that rarely happens in a crowded online thread. If you’ve been looking for a lower-friction way to meet people in these circles in Zürich, this event gives you that starting point. You can show up to reconnect with familiar faces, make new ones, or simply get a better read on the local and visiting community around these networks. What to Expect Expect a social, builder-friendly atmosphere with plenty of space for conversation. The emphasis is on meeting people, exchanging ideas, and learning what others are working on across Farcaster, Base, and adjacent communities. You can likely expect the flow of the evening to center around a few simple moments: Arrival and casual check-in so people can settle in and start meeting each other Open networking with founders, builders, community members, and curious newcomers Project and idea sharing in small groups or one-on-one conversations Spontaneous introductions that lead to follow-up chats, collaborations, or future meetups This kind of event works best because it leaves room for serendipity. You may come in planning to have one or two targeted conversations and leave having met people you didn’t expect to meet. That’s especially valuable in ecosystems where the best opportunities often come from warm introductions and shared context rather than formal pitches. There’s also value in simply being present in the room. You’ll get a stronger feel for what people are excited about right now, what kinds of projects are attracting attention, and how others are thinking about community, identity, and building on emerging platforms. Why Attend If you spend a lot of time online, it’s easy to know the names, apps, and ideas without really knowing the people behind them. This meetup helps close that gap. In-person conversations create trust faster, make collaboration easier, and often reveal more nuance than online interactions ever can. You should attend if you want to sharpen your understanding of the Farcaster and Base ecosystems through direct conversation rather than passive observation. Hearing what people are building, what challenges they’re running into, and what they’re betting on can be far more useful than trying to piece together the landscape from posts alone. A few concrete reasons this can be worth your time: Build better relationships with people working in overlapping spaces Get feedback on ideas, products, or experiments you’re exploring Discover collaborators for community, product, or growth efforts Learn faster by talking with people who are closer to the work Plug into a local network in Zürich with shared interests in crypto-native social and builder culture This is also a strong entry point if you’re adjacent to the space and want to get involved without needing a formal role, polished pitch, or deep technical background. Good meetups create accessible on-ramps, and this one is well suited to people who are serious, curious, and ready to engage. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Zürich, Switzerland, so expect a local, face-to-face meetup environment rather than a hybrid or virtual session. If your goal is to make real connections and have higher-signal conversations, showing up in person is the point. The event takes place on Sunday, April 7 at 5:30 PM GMT+2. Early evening is a good format for this kind of gathering: enough structure to make it easy to attend, but relaxed enough for conversations to unfold naturally. A few useful things to keep in mind before you come: Be ready to introduce yourself clearly in a sentence or two If you’re building something, have a simple explanation of what it is and who it’s for If you’re exploring the ecosystem, come with specific questions you want to ask Leave room in your schedule to stay, talk, and follow up rather than rushing out immediately The strongest attendees at events like this are usually the ones who arrive open, prepared, and willing to start conversations. If that sounds like you, Farcaster x Base Builders is likely to be a very good use of your Sunday evening.
Who should attend
This is for people who want more than passive attendance—you’ll get the most out of it if you’re ready to talk, listen, and make real connections. - You’re **building on or around Farcaster, Base, or adjacent onchain/social infrastructure** and want to meet others doing related work. - You’re a **founder, developer, designer, or product-minded operator** looking for feedback, collaborators, or a better sense of the ecosystem. - You’re active in **community, growth, or ecosystem work** and want to connect with people shaping conversations and culture in these networks. - You’re **crypto-curious but serious**, and you want a more grounded way to understand what people are actually building beyond online noise. - You’re based in **Zürich or nearby**, or you’re visiting and want an easy way to plug into a local crowd with shared interests. - You value **small-group conversations, warm intros, and high-context networking** more than formal stage programming.
