Bitcoin Hacker House at ETH Lisbon
Starting ETH Lisbon early? So are we.
Rootstock will be in Lisbon, sponsoring the ETH Lisbon Hackathon and hosting the Bitcoin Hacker House the day before everything kicks off.
Join us for a relaxed, builder-focused meetup designed for developers working on practical DeFi tools, high-quality dApps, or AI-powered solutions. Whether you're just getting started or already deep in Web3, it's a chance to learn, connect, and get inspired ahead of ETH Lisbon.
Why drop in?
🚀 Sharpen your skills before ETH Lisbon – experiment with MCP, try integrations and polish your workflow.
🛠️ Learn the stack – a lightning workshop shows you how to build directly on Bitcoin with Rootstock and the new MCP layer: spin up an MCP server, connect prompt‑driven commands to smart contracts, and push your first Rootstock transactions.
🤝 Meet the DevX crew & other hackers – live engineering support throughout the day, swap ideas and find collaborators.
🏆 Win prizes - exclusive Hacker Kits for the winning teams.
☕ Fuel provided – snacks, drinks, wifi, comfy desks and Rootstock swag.
