Starknet Pre-Hackathon Workshop – Lagos

​Join us on Saturday, 13th September 2025, in Lagos for a full-day Starknet Pre-Hackathon Workshop. This workshop aims to prepare developers for the month-long Starknet Hackathon (September 15 – October 15, 2025) by refreshing Cairo fundamentals, introducing Starknet architecture, and providing hands-on practice with guidance from experienced mentors.
