About this event
If you are building with Solidity, testing is not a nice-to-have; it is the work that protects every contract you deploy. Testing con Solidity is an in-person meetup in La Paz for people who want to get more rigorous about smart contract quality, compare approaches with others, and have practical conversations about how testing actually fits into day-to-day development. This is a community-driven space for learning, discussion, and connection. Whether you are already writing Solidity regularly or you are still getting comfortable with the tooling, the event is designed to help you leave with a clearer sense of how to test better and why that discipline matters. About the Event Testing con Solidity brings together developers, builders, and curious community members around one specific topic: how to think about and practice testing in Solidity-based projects. Instead of treating testing as an afterthought, this meetup puts it at the center of the conversation. The format is built for an in-person community setting. Expect a mix of focused content, practical examples, and open discussion with other attendees who care about shipping more reliable smart contracts. Because this is also a meetup and networking event, there is room not just to absorb ideas, but to ask questions, compare workflows, and hear how others approach common problems. For some attendees, that may mean sharpening technical instincts around contract behavior and edge cases. For others, it may mean finally getting a clearer framework for what “good testing” looks like in a Solidity environment. Either way, the value comes from being in the room with people working through similar challenges. What to Expect You can expect the event to revolve around the practical side of Solidity testing rather than abstract theory alone. The goal is to make the topic approachable, useful, and discussion-friendly for a community audience. Likely points of focus include: Why testing matters in smart contract development, especially when code becomes difficult or expensive to change later Common testing mindsets and workflows that developers use when working with Solidity Real-world discussion about catching bugs, validating assumptions, and improving confidence before deployment Open networking and community exchange with people interested in blockchain development and Solidity best practices Because this is an in-person meetup, one of the strongest parts of the experience will be the informal conversations around the main topic. You may hear how others structure their development process, what they find hardest about testing, or which habits have helped them improve code quality over time. Expect a social, community-oriented atmosphere rather than a formal conference setting. That makes it a good place to learn without pressure, ask grounded questions, and meet people in La Paz who share an interest in Solidity, web3 development, and technical collaboration. Why Attend If you work with Solidity, testing is one of the fastest ways to improve both your code and your confidence. This meetup gives you a reason to step back from isolated development and think more intentionally about reliability, verification, and how to reduce avoidable mistakes before they become costly. Attending can help you: Strengthen your understanding of what effective testing contributes to a Solidity project Pick up practical ideas you can apply to your own contracts and development process Learn from peers who may be solving similar issues in different ways Build local connections with developers, learners, and community members in La Paz Get better at asking the right questions about contract behavior, assumptions, and failure cases There is also value here beyond the strictly technical side. Meetups like this help grow a healthier local builder culture: people share lessons earlier, avoid reinventing the wheel, and create a stronger support network for future projects. If you want to be part of that kind of ecosystem, this event is a strong place to show up. Even if you are still early in your Solidity journey, hearing how others think about testing can save you time and confusion later. And if you already have experience, the event offers a chance to refine your perspective and contribute to the community around you. Practical Details This is an in-person event in La Paz, Bolivia, which means the experience is built around real conversation, local connection, and direct interaction with other attendees. If you get the most value from being able to ask follow-up questions and meet people face to face, the format is a major advantage. The meetup takes place on Saturday, September 30 at 4:30 PM GMT-4. The weekend timing makes it easier for many attendees to participate without rushing through a weekday schedule, and the late-afternoon start fits well with both focused discussion and social networking. A few helpful things to keep in mind: Plan to arrive on time so you can settle in and catch the full conversation from the beginning Bring your curiosity and your questions, especially if you are currently working through testing challenges Come ready to talk with others, since community exchange is a key part of the value If you are actively building, think about the testing problems or uncertainties you would most want to discuss At its core, Testing con Solidity is for people who want to take smart contract quality seriously while also being part of a local community. It is technical enough to be useful, social enough to be welcoming, and focused enough to make your time there worthwhile.
Who should attend
This will feel especially relevant if you want a more practical, community-based way to think about Solidity testing and meet others in La Paz who care about building well. - **You are learning Solidity** and want to understand testing earlier, before bad habits become part of your workflow. - **You already build smart contracts** and want to improve reliability, catch issues sooner, and compare your testing approach with other developers. - **You are part of the broader web3 or blockchain community** and want a clearer view of how quality assurance works in Solidity projects. - **You like technical meetups with real conversation**, where you can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from peers instead of just listening passively. - **You want to connect locally in La Paz** with people interested in development, community building, and the practical side of working with Solidity. - **You are curious but not yet deeply specialized** and want an approachable entry point into a topic that becomes essential as projects get more serious.
