Ausbuildooors x ETHSydney April'25
Last week’s Ausbuildooors x ETHSydney event was everything we love about the web3/crypto community - raw, unfiltered, and buzzing with energy. No suits. No corporate polish. Just a room packed with nerds who ship. Active conversations, unmatched vibes.
A refocus for ETHSydney
We kicked things off with Sunil Tom Jose sharing the latest update about ETHSydney, the new website, the rebrand, and a renewed focus on collaboration — joining forces with other communities to strengthen the ecosystem and spread Ethereum values. Sunil also teased some exciting events ahead, including the ETH 10th Anniversary celebration and a proposed ETHSydney hackathon this October. Plenty to look forward to this year!
Magic... Lunardi
Next up, special guest Andrew Lunardi, author of Magic Money and Head of Growth at Immutable, took the stage. Andrew delivered a sharp, no-nonsense TL;DR of his book, cutting through the noise around money, assets, and value — and offering a peek into the journey that led him to write it.
He lit up the room with thought-provoking questions reflecting on the current state of crypto and the ideals we all started with. The crowd didn’t hold back — the conversations that followed were packed with questions, lively debate, and sharp takes. Easily one of the night’s highlights.
A curveball?
Rob from Pistols at Dawn rolling in with live laptop duels. Picture a room full of builders playing, trading feedback, and poking fun back and forth, exactly what you’d expect from a crew that thrives on pushing limits. The energy in the room was electric. Between talks, we swapped ideas over beers and pizza, debated strategies, and schemed next-gen builds. Ausbuildooors isn’t just an event, it’s a collision of minds where experimentation, ambition, and a touch of madness meet.
🚀 Shoutout to the community for some big recent wins:
- Rise testnet smashing records with 10ms round-trip confirmations
- @defi_isaac dropping an APAC playbook
- @Mindo_xbt launching a sports betting platform (DM him if you’re into data + lifetime Buildooors access)
If you missed this one, you missed a lot — but don’t worry, we’re just getting started. Keep an eye on ETHSydney and Ausbuildooors. The future’s being built here, and it’s anything but boring. Big thanks to the Ausbuildooors community and Helix Ventures for organizing and hosting one of the most vibrant gatherings in Sydney.
