Wellness Hackerhouse: Where Minds and Souls Align (Hosted by SUCI, LUKSO, and DeSciWorld)
In the center of Ho Chi Minh city, the 1-week Wellness Hackerhouse wasn’t just about building projects - it was about building people. A sanctuary where the brightest minds in Web3 came together to solve complex challenges while reconnecting with their purpose and passion.
With 40+ hours of hands-on workshops, discussions, and collaborative building sessions, participants didn’t just learn - they created, refined, and elevated projects like DeSci applications, Universal Profiles, and SocialFi solutions. Guided by seasoned mentors, participants worked on groundbreaking ideas like DeSci applications and Universal Profiles, gaining clarity, feedback, and direction to take their projects to the next level.
But what truly set this Hackerhouse apart was the focus on well-being and connection. Each day began with moments of stillness: yoga, meditation, and breathwork - allowing participants to center themselves before diving into intense collaboration.
Attendees described the event as “a rare space to innovate without burning out” and “a transformative journey where my project and I grew in ways I didn’t think possible.”
This was a space where ideas were built, and lives were transformed.
Web3Village: GrowthCamp for Builders & Early-stage Projects
Web3Village is a shared journey of growth, connection, and inspiration. Over 600 builders and 10+ early-stage startups came together in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, staying under one roof for an entire week to collaborate, learn, and innovate. Days were spent diving into challenges like ZKPs for privacy, DeFi product-market fit, and reducing startup failure rates, while nights turned into unforgettable moments of connection.
Through the Growth Camp, builders gained not just technical insights, but a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. Startups refined strategies, unlocked funding, and formed partnerships that reshaped their paths. But the real magic was the bonds forged - lifelong friendships and a sense of community that will continue to shape the future of Web3.
Moving to Bangkok, participants shared TukTuk rides through the bustling streets, laughed over late-night meals, and spent hours exchanging stories and ideas that went far beyond their projects. “I’ll never forget the night we stayed up until midnight, sharing our struggles and visions - it changed how I see my work and myself.” one attendee reflected.
We brought not just innovation; Web3Village about the human connections that drive it.
NFTea-Pod: Zero-to-Hero Stories from Founders
Our NFTea-Pod podcast became a platform for founders to share their technical journeys. Discussions spanned early-stage development frameworks, security best practices for smart contracts, and the challenges of building decentralized infrastructure. Featuring founders from Sui, Manta, The Sandbox, and other leading projects, the series provided invaluable insights for developers navigating the complexities of the Web3 ecosystem.
Monthly Meetups: Connecting Innovators
SUCI’s Monthly Meetups have become a cornerstone of Web3 innovation, fostering collaboration and accessibility across diverse fields. In partnership with leading organizations like Hedera, 1kx, The Sandbox, and DeSciWorld, SUCI hosted over 20+ meetups in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Ho Chi Minh City. These events bridged communities with protocols, VCs, and thought leaders, making Web3 more accessible and engaging for diverse audiences.
Topics covered were as dynamic as the participants, ranging from Metaverse & NFTs in art to ZK technology, decentralized infrastructure, and fundraising in Web3. Each session served as a launchpad for technical breakthroughs and creative solutions, with attendees collaborating on 10+ new Web3 projects and securing vital mentorship and funding opportunities.
One highlight was the The Next Million series, started with “Web3 Meets Arts” meet-up, which brought artists, musicians, and designers together with blockchain experts to explore how Web3 can transform creative industries. “These events opened doors I didn’t know existed,” shared one artist who began incorporating NFTs and smart contracts into their work.
By addressing real-world challenges and making Web3 concepts more accessible, SUCI’s meetups have empowered communities to take action.
Suci Edu: Scaling Knowledge in Blockchain
In 2024, Suci Edu established itself as a leader in blockchain education, hosting over 100 workshops across 10 universities and dedicated spaces for Web3 developers. With more than 500 hours of hands-on training, we empowered 3,000+ participants, from students to seasoned developers, with cutting-edge skills in DeFi, AI, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK).
We make Suci Edu a hub for innovation, providing Web3 developers opportunities to deepen their expertise, connect with peers, and tackle real-world challenges. 60% of attendees transitioned into Web3 roless, contributing to 50+ projects in areas like decentralized finance, blockchain infrastructure and more.
By combining accessible education with practical application, Suci Edu bridges the gap between theory and impact. Many participants became blockchain ambassadors, driving innovation and knowledge-sharing in their communities, while positioning Vietnam as a regional leader in Web3 development.
A Foundation for the Future
2024 was a year of breakthroughs, collaboration, and technical achievements. From the grassroots developer community to seasoned blockchain architects, the SUCI network has demonstrated what’s possible when innovation is driven by collective effort.
As we look toward 2025, our commitment to fostering innovation, scaling education, and supporting builders remains stronger than ever. We aim to deepen our focus on technical mentorship, create more spaces for experimentation, and continue building solutions that redefine the future of decentralized systems.
Here’s to another year of BUIDLing. 🚀
