All Workshops
Some workshops introduce a new ecosystem from the ground up, while others help developers go deeper into specific stacks, tools, and programming models. Together, they create a more consistent learning layer for builders across Türkiye.
What matters most is that these are not one-off sessions. node101 designs workshops as repeatable learning environments with clear themes, community partners, and practical outcomes. The goal is not just to host a talk, but to create a path where developers can learn, practice, meet other builders, and continue building after the event.
Cosmos Workshops
Cosmos Istanbul Workshop
Cosmos Istanbul Workshop was designed to help developers in Istanbul understand the Cosmos ecosystem through a more practical and approachable format. Instead of presenting Cosmos only as a broad ecosystem story, the workshop focused on how developers could actually begin building with Cosmos SDK and related tools. Across multiple editions, the Istanbul sessions created a recurring local touchpoint for people who wanted to move from interest into real technical familiarity.
The educational aim was to build Cosmos literacy through practice. The workshops followed the Interchain Developer Academy curriculum and used repeat sessions to reinforce learning step by step. node101 designed the Istanbul flow as a sustained learning process rather than a single class, making room for repetition, progression, and a builder path that could continue beyond the workshop itself.
Cosmos Ankara Workshop
Cosmos Ankara Workshop extended the same Cosmos learning effort into the capital and helped node101 reach a broader and more varied builder audience. Organized with local community support, the Ankara editions introduced developers to Cosmos principles, smart contract development, and Cosmos SDK usage in a setting that felt more local, direct, and participatory. This made the workshop series feel national rather than Istanbul-only.
Its role was both educational and connective. The workshops were built to expand Cosmos knowledge across Türkiye by combining curriculum, local partnerships, and recurring sessions in a way that gave more developers a real entry point into the ecosystem. node101 designed the process so that participation from top universities in the capital, such as Middle East Technical University and Bilkent University, could grow through repetition and local collaboration, turning a technical workshop into a wider onboarding mechanism for the Cosmos community.
Sui Move Workshop Series
The Sui Move Workshop Series was built to introduce Move programming and the Sui ecosystem to developers across Türkiye. What started as a focused workshop format grew into a broader builder program spread across multiple cities, designed to make Sui more accessible to local developers and help them take their first technical steps into the ecosystem. The program was built together with the Sui ecosystem and positioned as a recurring educational layer rather than a one-time event.
Its purpose was straightforward: lower the barrier to entry and make participation feel possible. What began as a focused educational format grew into a nationwide workshop program, with 40+ events per month across cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Antalya, and Konya. The series was designed to make Sui more accessible for local developers and to create a practical entry point for students, builders, and tech communities who wanted to start building with Move.
The program was strengthened through a broad partner network and a long-term developer funnel. node101 built the process together with Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs, while also activating university and community partners such as Riva Labs, Koza, İTÜ Blockchain, YTÜ Blockchain, and ODTÜ Blockchain, alongside a wider network of local Web2 and Web3 developer communities. More broadly, node101’s event portfolio ties this workshop effort to collaborations with numerous universities and multiple blockchain communities, showing that the series was not just a set of standalone sessions, but a structured ecosystem program designed and delivered end to end by node101.
Celestia Modular Workshops
Celestia Infinite Space Bazaar Hacker House
Celestia Infinite Space Bazaar was a three-day-long builder environment in Istanbul that combined the energy of a hacker house with the educational logic of a workshop program. It brought modularity enthusiasts together in one place to learn, build, and collaborate around Celestia, with tracks such as Build Whatever, Core, UX, and Community. More than a competitive space, it was designed as a place where developers could push their limits through co-learning and co-building.
The educational layer was what made the experience special. Alongside the build environment, the program included workshops, talks, and technical sessions on modular blockchain development, Celestia infrastructure, and hackathon experience sharing. node101 designed the full participation flow, from accommodation and local support to technical programming and community atmosphere, so that builders could focus on learning and creating rather than logistics.
Celestia Modular Workshop Series
The Celestia Modular Workshop Series was created to introduce modular blockchain thinking to the Turkish developer ecosystem. These sessions brought Celestia’s core ideas into Istanbul through recurring community events that explored modularity, light nodes, sovereign rollups, and the design space around a more modular stack. Across multiple editions, the series helped turn a new architectural philosophy into something developers could actually discuss, test, and build around.
The purpose of the series was to help developers internalize modularity through repeated exposure and technical support. node101 designed the format not just as a meetup chain, but as a workshop-like learning environment where builders could hear from technical speakers, ask questions, and begin connecting Celestia’s vision to their own product ideas. The program was part of a larger effort to make modular blockchain development legible, local, and buildable for Turkish developers.
LambdaClass Workshop
The LambdaClass Workshop added a deeper applied-cryptography layer to Cryptist. It focused on how to use LambdaWorks and the STARK Platinum Prover, giving participants a more technical session inside the broader summit format.
This workshop helped make Cryptist more builder-oriented from the inside. Instead of keeping all content at the keynote and panel level, node101 designed the program so that participants could also enter more specialized learning sessions and engage directly with technical tooling.
Aleo Leo Workshop
The Aleo Leo Workshop brought application development into the Cryptist program through a focused session on Leo and Aleo’s development environment. It included both Learning Leo and zkApp Development on Aleo, giving the event a more practical builder-facing track.
Antalpha Workshop
The Antalpha Workshop was part of the wider side-workshop structure around Cryptist 2023 as an Ethereum-oriented workshop. It extended the summit beyond the main stage and into a more layered technical program built with ecosystem partners.
Agoric Orchestration Workshop
The Agoric Workshop was held at ModaPalas as part of node101’s broader workshop program for the Turkish blockchain builder ecosystem. It was designed as a focused educational event that introduced developers to a new blockchain stack through a structured learning format, while also using ModaPalas as a community-first space for technical exchange, discussion, and hands-on participation. The events page draft explicitly lists Agoric Workshops inside the workshop layer, and node101’s event report also names Agoric among the international blockchain partners it has worked with in Istanbul.
Starknet Workshop
The Starknet Workshop was a developer-focused session built to introduce local builders to Starknet through a practical, ecosystem-native format. It was designed for developers who wanted more than a high-level overview and needed a direct way into Starknet’s ZK-oriented development model, tooling, and product possibilities. The goal was to make the ecosystem understandable, technically reachable, and worth building on for Istanbul’s emerging builder community.
Its role inside the wider event calendar was education and activation. node101 structured the workshop as part of a builder pipeline, creating a space where developers could learn a new stack, connect with the ecosystem, and move toward deeper participation rather than treating the event as a generic meetup. The format reflected the way node101 approaches these sessions overall: clear technical focus, strong community framing, and a process designed from the ground up to turn interest into real builder momentum.
