ETHGlobal Happy Hour Bali 2025: A Coinfest Side Event to Remember

When you mix Coinfest Asia’s buzzing energy, Bali’s laid-back vibe, and the global builder community from ETHGlobal and APAC DAO, you don’t just get a happy hour — you get one of the most vibrant gatherings of Web3 minds this year.

On August 21st, 2025, ETHGlobal, APAC DAO, and our amazing co-host Blockdev.id brought together developers, founders, investors, and ecosystem builders for an evening of connection, collaboration, and celebration at Samada Work Life & Café in Bali.

A Full House of Builders & Innovators

The event quickly turned into a packed house:

• 400+ registrants signed up to join

• 120+ attendees showed up on-site for drinks, conversations, and crypto camaraderie

From seasoned protocol developers to early-stage founders and curious newcomers, the room was filled with diverse perspectives, all united by a shared passion for building the future of Web3.

Why It Mattered

This wasn’t just a casual gathering. ETHGlobal Happy Hour Bali created a safe and collaborative space for:

• Builders to share what they’re working on and exchange technical ideas

• Investors and ecosystem enablers to scout opportunities and talent

• Communities like APAC DAO and Blockdev.id to bridge connections across Southeast Asia

By creating these organic intersections, we’re helping accelerate projects, partnerships, and innovations that can scale beyond borders.

The Coinfest Asia Backdrop

Coinfest Asia has become one of the premier blockchain and Web3 gatherings in the region, and this year was no exception. With Bali as the backdrop, the ETHGlobal Happy Hour seamlessly fit into the week’s lineup as the “unofficial yet unmissable” place to meet fellow builders.

As attendees hopped between panels, conferences, and exhibitions during the day, the Happy Hour offered a refreshing and authentic setting to unwind while still exchanging meaningful ideas.

The Power of Collaboration

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the collaboration between ETHGlobal, APAC DAO, and Blockdev.id:

• ETHGlobal continues to be one of the most important forces uniting developers through its hackathons and educational events.

• APAC DAO brought in its regional powerhouse community of 3,000+ builders, 1,000+ projects, and 50+ partners across Asia.

• Blockdev.id played a key role in bringing local Indonesian builders and founders to the mix, ensuring authentic grassroots representation.

Together, these partners showed how cross-border collaboration strengthens the Web3 movement across Asia.

What’s Next

For APAC DAO, this is only the beginning. Our collaborations with ETHGlobal and regional communities will continue to expand, creating more opportunities for builders across Asia-Pacific to connect, learn, and grow.

As one attendee put it:

“Some events give you business cards. This one gave me a network.”

Stay tuned — because the ETHGlobal Happy Hour Bali is proof that when you put passionate builders together in the right place, magic happens.
