​ShanHaiWoo 2025 · Opening Ceremony

​📍 Location: Singapore

​🗓️ Date: Friday, September 5, 2025

​⏰ Time: 14:00 – 17:30 SGT

​❓What is ShanHaiWoo·Singapore？

​ShanHaiWoo·Singapore is a month-long popup builder village.

​This September in Singapore, engineers, researchers, founders, and creators will gather to turn prototypes into real, usable applications—built on Ethereum, AI, and other frontier tech. Powered by new ideas. Grounded in the real world.

​Innovation in AI and crypto is opening up a new design space. ShanHaiWoo exists to make that space real—with time, tools, and people who want to build what comes next.

​You’ll come here to get unstuck, find your people, and ship something that matters.
