Events

ModaPalas is a community-driven hub for blockchain developers, researchers, founders, and technology enthusiasts. It brings people together through monthly gatherings, hackathons, workshops, cryptography sessions, and informal meetups designed to encourage learning, collaboration, and innovation.

More than just an event space, ModaPalas is an ecosystem where ideas turn into projects, projects turn into startups, and builders find the support they need to grow. With strong partnerships across the blockchain space and a community that has already helped startups secure over $20 million in funding, ModaPalas continues to be a home for those shaping the future of decentralized technologies.

Moda Palas Monthly Gatherings

Every month, ModaPalas brings together blockchain developers, founders, researchers, and curious minds for an evening of conversation, learning, and community. These gatherings are designed to create a relaxed space where people can share ideas, discuss new technologies, present their projects, and connect with others building in the ecosystem.

From technical discussions and project updates to casual networking on the terrace, Moda Palas Monthly Gatherings help strengthen the local blockchain community and turn meaningful conversations into new collaborations. From Ethereum Foundation to Sui Foundation, Mina to Paribu, more than 30 global companies sponsored these monthly gatherings, which have been organized every month from 2022 to this day.

Blackboard Cryptography Sessions

Blackboard Cryptography Sessions are one of ModaPalas’ most focused learning formats. These sessions bring the community together to explore the foundations of cryptography, privacy, zero-knowledge proofs, and the mathematical ideas behind modern blockchain systems.

Rather than being formal lectures, the sessions are built around open discussion, shared learning, and deep technical curiosity. Participants study complex concepts together, break them down step by step, and connect theory with real-world applications in decentralized technologies. This makes ModaPalas a space not only for building, but also for understanding the core ideas that shape the future of blockchain.

Hackathons

At ModaPalas, hackathons are one of the most important ways we bring builders together. We host and support hackathons focused on different areas of the blockchain ecosystem, from zero-knowledge technologies and modular blockchains to privacy, cryptography, and decentralized applications.

Through collaborations with ecosystem partners such as Celestia, Aleo, and Mina Protocol, ModaPalas gives developers the opportunity to explore new tools, work on real-world challenges, and build projects in a focused, high-energy environment. These hackathons are not only about competing, but also about learning, meeting teammates, receiving feedback from mentors, and turning early ideas into working prototypes.

Parties

ModaPalas is not only a place to build, but also a place to celebrate the community behind the work. Our parties bring together developers, founders, researchers, and friends of the ecosystem in a more casual and social atmosphere.

From end-of-year celebrations to themed community nights and rooftop gatherings, these events help people connect beyond technical talks and project work. They create space for stronger friendships, new collaborations, and the kind of shared memories that make ModaPalas feel like home for the blockchain community.

Workshops

ModaPalas workshops are designed for hands-on learning and practical exploration. We bring together developers, researchers, founders, and ecosystem partners to dive deeper into blockchain technologies, developer tools, protocols, and emerging ideas.

Each workshop creates a focused environment where participants can learn directly from experienced builders, ask questions, test new concepts, and improve their technical skills. From introductory sessions to more advanced protocol-focused workshops, ModaPalas helps turn curiosity into real understanding and practical experience.
