About this event
If you care about building on Solana and want to spend a focused day around people who actually ship, this is where you want to be. Solana Hackathon Cypherpunk during Colosseum Week at The Bakery brings together hackers, builders, and the wider crypto community in Paris for an in-person day built around momentum, technical conversation, and useful connections. This is not a passive conference stop. It is a working session, a meetup point, and a community hub for people who want to talk through ideas, meet potential collaborators, and stay close to the energy of a hackathon environment. About the Event Solana Hackathon Cypherpunk is part of Colosseum Week and is designed for people who are actively interested in crypto building, technical experimentation, and the culture around open, internet-native systems. Hosted at The Bakery in Paris, the event creates a shared physical space for the Solana community and adjacent builders to gather, work, and exchange ideas face to face. Expect a format that feels closer to a builder meetup and hackathon hub than a traditional stage-first event. The value here comes from being in the room: meeting other participants, hearing what people are working on, pressure-testing concepts, and finding the conversations that can turn into code, partnerships, or longer-term collaboration. Because this sits within a hackathon week context, the event is especially relevant for people who are already building, planning to build, or looking for the right team, project, or angle to contribute to. Whether you are early in an idea or already deep in development, the setting is meant to support real progress rather than surface-level networking. What to Expect The day starts in the morning, with a 9:00 AM kickoff in Paris, and is best approached as a high-signal in-person working and networking environment. Rather than showing up only for a single talk, attendees should expect a more fluid day shaped by conversations, introductions, project discussions, and the natural rhythm of a hackathon-adjacent gathering. You can expect a mix of activities such as: Meeting Solana developers, founders, and ecosystem participants in person Talking through project ideas, product concepts, and technical roadblocks Finding collaborators for hackathon efforts or future builds Connecting with community members who understand the crypto and builder mindset Spending time in a space where informal conversations can be as valuable as formal sessions If you are participating in Colosseum Week more broadly, this event can also serve as a useful anchor point in your schedule. It is a place to reconnect with people you have met elsewhere during the week, deepen those conversations, and turn brief intros into more substantive working relationships. For builders, the practical rhythm is simple: arrive ready to introduce what you are working on, what you need help with, and what kinds of people you want to meet. The more specific you are, the more useful the day tends to be. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is proximity to the right people. In crypto, and especially in hackathon settings, progress often comes from fast feedback loops and chance conversations with someone who has solved a similar problem, knows the ecosystem well, or is looking for exactly the kind of collaborator you are. This event gives you a chance to sharpen your thinking in real time. You might arrive with a rough idea and leave with a clearer direction, a stronger technical approach, or a better sense of how your project fits into the Solana landscape. There is also real value in being part of the community in person. Online channels are useful, but they rarely replace the speed and trust that come from meeting face to face. If you want to build stronger relationships in the Solana and broader crypto scene, a day like this can move things forward quickly. Attending can be especially worthwhile if you want to: Get honest feedback from technically minded peers Meet potential teammates, contributors, or future collaborators Stay close to current builder energy during Colosseum Week Learn by listening to what other teams and individuals are exploring Put yourself in the path of conversations that can create your next opportunity Practical Details This is an in-person event in Paris, France, taking place at The Bakery on Wednesday, October 1. The event begins at 9:00 AM GMT+2, so plan to arrive on time and ready to settle in early, especially if you want the best chance to meet people before the day gets fully underway. Because the event sits within a hackathon and community context, it makes sense to come prepared for both conversation and work. Bring what you need to show your project, explain your idea clearly, or jump into a discussion with minimal friction. If you are building, be ready to demo, sketch, or share context quickly. A few useful ways to prepare: Have a short explanation of what you are building or exploring Know what kind of help, feedback, or connection you are looking for Bring your laptop if you expect to work, iterate, or collaborate on site Leave room in your schedule for spontaneous conversations after your initial plan If you are the kind of person who gets the most out of being around serious builders, this event is a strong use of your time. Show up ready to contribute, ask sharp questions, and make the most of a room built around crypto, technology, and real community.
