Welcome to Africa’s Premier Web3 Developer Conference and Hackathon
W3Node provides a platform that showcases developers and founding teams, upskills community managers, and provides investors with industry insights. Ultimately, we connect Africa's thriving developer ecosystem with global blockchain companies to accelerate adoption and commercial success.
Who The Conference is For
A Community of Builders
Node Engine is a growing network of developers, researchers, and founders shaping the future of tech from the African continent and beyond.
This year, we are introducing a hacker house residency for the best builders in Africa. This is an addition to our Hackathon and Travel Grant Program.

Accelerate the BUIDLers, Shape the Future
W3Node is a launchpad for the next generation of African founders shaping the decentralized web. As a sponsor, we’ll curate your experience to align with your goals—whether that’s establishing a local hub, accessing our pipeline of top African founders, or amplifying your brand’s visibility. Let’s BUIDL the future, together.
We Believe in the
Community Economy
The opportunities are vast and complex across the diaspora. As we innovate and build solutions, we’ve designed this community to honor individual sovereignty, enable creators to capture more of the value that they create, and as a community, for all of our incentives to be aligned.
