ETHDenver

ETHDenver is an annual event that focuses on building and networking on the and hosting hackathons. ETHDenver is managed by and was founded by in 2017. [1][31]

Overview

ETHDenver is marketed as the “largest Web3 #BUIDLathon in the world” with their #BUIDL meme as their moto. The meme came about in ETHDenver 2018 as the community’s reaction to the meme that was widely used by the community. [2]

chose Denver as the ideal city to host the event as he aimed to transform Colorado's limited meetup culture. According to Paller, Denver is a city greatly populated by skilled developers and was undervalued as the country's hub for innovation. [3]

"I recall thinking how incredible it would be if we made Colorado the go-to destination for Web3 innovation and development. We have an abundance of people here - we host the most prominent meetups in the country, and we've never received recognition for it"

ETHDenver aims to amplify the community by making the event free of charge and also places its hackathon at the forefront of the event’s activities as a chance for people to display their creativity and talents. [3]

“We don’t charge for tickets, because it’s about giving people a blank canvas and a big tent to come and express their own creativity in a way that’s meaningful for them. It’s an egalitarian opportunity to have creative expression.”

Their mascot is a Bufficorn, a legendary creature that is a combination of a buffalo and a unicorn. The Bufficorn is said to offer reliable protection to the Spork Marmot and the Bufficorn Solstice is celebrated annually in the capital city of Colorado. The events were held at Gart Sports Castle, which was used to fit into their mythical, fantastic narrative. [4]
