About this event
Video onchain is moving from concept to real product surface area, and the stack behind it is starting to matter. This workshop is a chance to get in the room with people actively thinking about how video, crypto-native infrastructure, and developer tools fit together in practice. If you care about what the next generation of media apps could look like, this is where that conversation gets concrete. About the Event The Onchain Video Stack - Devconnect Community Workshop is an in-person community session built for people who want to explore how onchain systems can support video experiences, products, and ecosystems. Rather than treating video as a vague future use case, the workshop centers on the actual stack: the components, tradeoffs, workflows, and collaboration points that matter when you move from idea to implementation. This is a community workshop, which means the format is designed to be participatory and useful. Expect a room that values discussion, shared learning, and practical insight over passive attendance. Whether you are building, researching, experimenting, or simply trying to understand the space more clearly, the goal is to make the topic easier to navigate with other curious people around you. The event also sits naturally at the intersection of several communities: developers, founders, protocol contributors, creative technologists, and people interested in crypto-native media. That mix matters. Good conversations about onchain video need both technical depth and product-level perspective, and a workshop format creates space for both. Because this is part of a broader community moment around Devconnect, it is also a timely opportunity to meet others who are exploring adjacent problems. You may arrive for the video stack discussion and leave with new relationships that extend into infrastructure, consumer apps, identity, creator tooling, or distribution. What to Expect Expect a focused afternoon built around discussion, knowledge-sharing, and connection. The session will likely appeal most to attendees who want substance: how the stack is evolving, where the open questions are, and what builders should be paying attention to right now. You can expect a mix of activities such as: Context-setting conversations around what "onchain video" actually means in practice Workshop-style exploration of the tools, layers, and systems involved in building this category Open discussion about current constraints, opportunities, and design decisions Community networking with people working across adjacent parts of the ecosystem Informal idea exchange for projects, experiments, and future collaborations Rather than a generic meetup with broad themes and little depth, this event is framed around a specific topic. That makes it easier to have sharper conversations. People attending are more likely to be there because they actively care about media infrastructure, web3 product design, developer workflows, or what becomes possible when video and onchain primitives meet. There is also real value in the in-person format. Technical topics often become much clearer when you can ask follow-up questions, compare assumptions, and pressure-test ideas live with others in the room. If you have been reading about this space online but have not had many chances to discuss it face to face, this workshop fills that gap. Why Attend If you are curious about where crypto-native media is heading, this workshop gives you a more grounded lens than social posts or high-level panels. You will leave with a clearer sense of the landscape, the terminology, the moving parts, and the kinds of questions serious builders are asking. This event is especially useful because it focuses on a stack, not just a trend. That means the conversation can get practical: what needs to exist, what already exists, what still feels fragmented, and where there may be room for new products or infrastructure. Even if you are early to the topic, that framing helps you quickly understand where to dig deeper. You should also attend for the people. Events like this tend to gather a specific kind of attendee: technically curious, future-facing, and willing to discuss real implementation details. That creates strong conditions for meeting collaborators, getting feedback, or discovering that others are wrestling with the same questions you are. A few strong reasons to make time for it: Build context fast in a niche but increasingly relevant area Pressure-test your thinking with others who understand the space Spot opportunities in tooling, apps, infrastructure, or community use cases Meet aligned people across development, product, and ecosystem roles Turn abstract interest into practical understanding through live discussion Practical Details The workshop takes place in person in Şişli, Türkiye, making it a strong fit for attendees who want real conversation and local community energy rather than a purely online session. Being in the room matters for a topic like this, where nuance, follow-up questions, and side conversations can be as valuable as the formal program itself. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15 at 2:00 PM GMT+3. Since it is a daytime session, plan your schedule so you can arrive a little early, settle in, and make the most of pre-event introductions and post-session conversations. Because this is a community workshop, it is worth showing up prepared to participate. You do not need to be an expert, but you will get more out of the event if you come ready to ask sharp questions, compare notes, and talk through ideas with other attendees. If you are actively building, thinking about a product, or exploring the onchain media space, bring that context with you. In short: if the phrase "onchain video stack" makes you lean in rather than scroll past, this workshop is likely a very good use of your afternoon.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want sharper, more practical conversations about where video and onchain systems meet. - You are a **developer or technical builder** who wants to better understand the infrastructure, tooling, and architectural questions behind onchain video. - You are a **founder or product thinker** exploring crypto-native media, creator tools, distribution models, or new video experiences and want clearer signals from the community. - You work in **protocols, platforms, or ecosystem roles** and want to learn how video use cases may shape future product and infrastructure needs. - You are a **creative technologist, researcher, or experimenter** interested in how media formats evolve when ownership, coordination, identity, or monetization become onchain-native. - You value **small-to-mid-sized community events** where discussion is specific, people are engaged, and networking comes from shared interest rather than forced intros. - You are already attending the broader Devconnect orbit and want a **high-signal in-person session** in Şişli that connects a focused technical theme with real community conversation.
