🇦🇷 Highlights From Buenos Aires
Our first ever Stacks Hacker House opened in Buenos Aires this week, and the takeaway is simple: when you give talented people a focused space, the right tools, and feed them top tier Argentine cuisine, they ship. 🚢
Lunchtime at the Hacker House
This was a full on build week. It started with workshops on Clarity, sBTC, Chainhooks, Hiro APIs, and AI-powered coding at the Stacks Meat & Greet event.
Day 1 at Stacks Meat & Greet
By mid week, the house flipped into full heads down mode. Immunefi and WalletConnect dropped by the house for security and integration sessions. The marketing session that was supposed to last 30 minutes turned into two hours of real talk about getting your first users.
Daily workshops at the Hacker House
Everything built toward Demo Day at the Bitcoin Builders Conference, hosted by Stacks. Five days after walking into the house, 11 teams were shipping real projects built with Clarity. Watching those demos truly felt like catching the first spark of something bigger.
Demo Day at Bitcoin Builders Conference
The week ended with a rooftop BBQ at sunset reflecting on this new wave of Stacks builders and what the teams had shipped. Thank you to everyone who made this week happen: the builders, Stacks LATAM, mentors, partners, and the Stacks community that keeps pushing us forward.
Behind the scenes moments from the week are coming to socials soon.
