Ipê meets techno-optimists in Argentina 🤝🇦🇷

Brazil doesn’t need more isolated crypto communities. It needs stronger bridges between builders, companies, institutions, and culture. That’s why we’re excited to welcome @tokennation_io as an ecosystem partner of Ipê Village. TokenNation has been building this bridge in Brazil since 2022, originally as NFT Brasil, connecting Web2 and Web3 around tokenization, blockchain, AI, innovation, education, and community. Thanks to @carols2ant and Marco Affonseca for making it happen. Join us from April 6 to May 1 in Florianópolis for Brazil’s largest pop-up city, where hundreds of builders will prototype a new city for the AI and onchain era.

New cities will be vibecoded @crecimientoar.

Ipê is getting viral, but many people still don't know: WTF is a pop-up city?

If you’re in Argentina tonight, come join us for dinner! We’re bringing together a small group for good conversations around pop-up cities, AI, and crypto. A great way to wrap up the day after @crecimientoar’s AI Day. See you 👋

@pmarca I would love to see a conversation about this with @naval.

Introspection = neuroticism x narcissism x thumbsucking.

Heading @crecimientoar w/ @vitoriagoodies 🥰

It's all just imaginary concepts 🙂

Last week’s Ipê Cast with @Zcash and @zcashbrazil, and today’s Town Hall on Discord also featured. You can watch the AI preview below 👇

2026 is an election year in Brazil. Once again, the country will be split between two extremes. If you don’t see yourself in that polarization, Ipê Village is where people are building what comes next beyond legacy partisan governance.

@Ethereum_Brasil @ipecity 🙌🏻🔥very excited to have you guys here!!

Se a primeira década do blockchain foi sobre reinventar o dinheiro, a próxima pode ser sobre reinventar instituições. Estamos animados em anunciar a @Ethereum_Brasil como parceiro de ecossistema da @ipecity. Nos vemos em Florianópolis neste abril para prototipar novas formas de governança, identidade e coordenação.

Bitcoin proved money could be trustless. Ethereum proved governance could be programmable. Smart contracts, transparent treasuries, verifiable identity, and programmable ownership are core building blocks for new institutions. In the first decade, we focused heavily on financial use cases. But blockchain’s real potential lies in updating the foundational structures of society: governance, regulation, law, and nations. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce @Ethereum_Brasil as an ecosystem partner, bringing some of the best builders in the space to Florianópolis this April to prototype a new city.

Today’s @ipecity Town Hall will take place at 4 PM (BRT) on Discord. We’ll discuss what we’re building for Ipê Village, and explore what can actually be built with AI and blockchains to create a new city. We are moving from bureaucratic, institution-based governance to agentic, onchain-verifiable governance. This shift changes everything and opens up an ocean of opportunities for builders and residents. See you there. x.com/ipecity/status…

There is no substitute for the person who Knows What To Do.

This guy used ChatGPT to develop an mRNA vaccine to cure his dog’s cancer. The era of citizen scientists has arrived. theaustralian.com.au/business/techn…

@joshwoodward @AITinkerers @GoogleDeepMind That's amazing!! How can we bring it to Florianópolis during Ipê Village? It's a one-month pop-up city to prototype governance tools using AI and Blockchains. x.com/ipecity/status…

Alô, Brasil! 🇧🇷 Prontos para construir com propósito? Vem aí o AI for Social Impact Hackathon em SP! Uma parceria épica entre @AITinkerers e @GoogleDeepMind. 🚀 Traga seu time e seu computador. Inscreva-se: saopaulo.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-for-socia…

@paoloardoino what if we make USDT the official currency of Ipê Village, Brazil's largest pop-up city? x.com/ipecity/status…
