During DevCon 2026 🇮🇳 in Mumbai, one venue becomes an entire city built on-chain.
Every light, sound, and interaction is alive with Web3 energy - a place where builders, creators, and dreamers collide to build the future IRL.

As you walk through the neon gate, you’re not just entering an event - you’re crossing into a living metaverse that you can feel, touch, and earn from.

Partner Rewards (grants, tokens, prizes etc.)

🇮🇳 Explore the City

✨ Onchain Street: A photo-worthy entry arch, holographic check-in wall, and ambient soundscape set the tone.
🎯 Quest District: A live arcade of on-chain quests and mini games where every tap earns NFT badges and leaderboard points.
🎤 Main Stage: Micro-pitches, lightning talks, and interactive polls from founders and innovators.
🍸 Nightlife Zone: Beats, mocktails, and after-dark networking that feels like SXSW met Ethereum.
☕ Community Lounge: DAO corners, guild meetups, and casual builder coffee hours.
📸 Content Island: Creator pods and live media streams capturing the vibe.
🗞 Press Hub: The heartbeat of recaps, analytics, and spotlight interviews.
💻 Digital Layer: NFT drops, live leaderboards, and proof-of-participation for every attendee.

🎮 The Quest Experience - Compete for the Builder's Grant & Prize Pool

✨ Why You’ll Love It

Because this is what Web3 should feel like - alive, creative, and collaborative.
It’s a city you don’t just visit - you live in for a day.
Every corner reveals a new story, a new collab, a new opportunity to build something together.

“The future of events is experiential. We’re not attending talks - we’re building worlds”

🌍 The Vision

Onchain Dev City is a prototype for the next generation of Web3 culture - a model that turns conference floors into living ecosystems.

💫 Built like a city. Run like a startup. Lived like a festival.

“Let’s make Devcon the moment people realize the metaverse was always meant to be real”
