About Event

👋 Hello builders!

We’re excited to welcome you to The Polkadot APAC Hackathon Meetup Tour: Kuala Lumpur — a hands-on developer program designed to help developers and students build real applications on Polkadot.

This journey takes you from fundamentals to shipping a real dApp — no prior Polkadot experience required.
