Pop-X Kuala Lumpur
What happens when Ethereum builders co-work, co-live, and co-create together for a week?
We're about to find out at Pop-X Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Feb 4–11, 2026. 🇲🇾
Inspired by the idea of "Letting a thousand societies bloom", we're running a social experiment in KL.
This is a joint initiative by UETH and Geode Labs, supported by strong local Ethereum communities (ETHKL, CCACC, APUBCC) and builder communities (BuidlGuidl ProgCryptoSG, OpenBuild, APAC DAO).
No gatekeepers. No hierarchy. Just builders sharing, learning, and shipping together.
