Metabolism

Build the future creative on-chain ecosystem with

the ZORA Protocol and ETHGlobal

August 4 — 10th, 2022

ETHGlobal Zora

The power of Web3 is the power of collective imagination - a global network of powerful tools and bold ideas, brought to life by engineers & artists, tinkerers & hacktivists, weirdos & cypherpunks. What we are building has never been built before, because it was never before possible to build it that way.

Zora’s Metabolism hackathon is a virtual space for creative experimentation, bringing together some of the world’s best creators from a broad variety of categories and inviting them to design new digital spaces, on-chain tools, artistic experiments and more. Web3 is both one of the biggest paradigm shifts since the advent of the internet age and an ever-evolving inquiry into the societal possibilities of creative technology: no matter if you are a developer, an engineer, an architect, a musician, a theorist or seasoned NFT artist - we invite you to build hyperstructures with us with focus on NFTs, on-chain music ecosystems, a new generation of DAOs and Zora’s vast ecosystem of tools and smart contracts.

Let’s build. Let’s create. Let’s imagine - together.
