Cardano Node Diversity Celebration Day
6 October from 09:00
Cardano node diversity isn’t just an ambition; it’s becoming real.
On 6 October in Singapore, Cardano Diversity Celebration Day will bring together representatives from Cardano’s different node implementations to share their progress, compare timelines, and discuss how independent implementations can strengthen the network. The event will also introduce the Diversity Ambassador Program and invite feedback on the next phase of this collective effort.
Agenda:
Hackathon
Build the future of agentic commerce on Cardano using the x402 open standard. Join the TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon.
Have agents autonomously pay for services. Monetize endpoints, APIs, content per request. Go for the in-between with agent-to-agent flows. Or just create your unique innovation. Anything that advances agentic commerce on Cardano is in scope.
TOKEN2049 is 100% free for the Origins Hackathon participants, including food, drinks, and full access to the conference.
Apply for the Cardano track before 18 September 2026. Be part of the world’s largest crypto event, and get a chance to win the 1st place $15,000 prize.
Rooftop UTXO Pitch Night
7 October from 18:30
Founders building across Cardano, Bitcoin, and the wider UTXO ecosystem — from early to growth stage — go head-to-head for one night in front of investors ready to fund on the spot, competing for up to $500K in total funding.
This is where high-stakes pitches, real capital, and the projects shaping the next phase of UTXO infrastructure converge—in one room.
Set against the Singapore skyline at LAVO, 57 floors above Marina Bay Sands, the evening moves from live pitches into rooftop drinks, curated bites, networking, and a House DJ, with premium scavenger hunt including hardware wallets and iPads giveaways presented by Draper University.
Capacity is limited. Registration approval required upon entry.
