Looking Back: XRPL Builders Breakfast at SEA Hackathon

A morning that sparked ideas, conversations, and a strong builder community.

As we reflect on our journey over the past year, one of the most memorable moments for the APAC DAO community was XRPL Builders Breakfast, held during the XRPL SEA Hackathon 2023. It was one of our first sessions — and a key milestone in fostering the early momentum for Web3 builders across Southeast Asia.

A Morning for Builders, By Builders

Set in the heart of Southeast Asia’s growing tech scene, the XRPL Builders Breakfast brought together a diverse group of developers, blockchain architects, and community leaders for an open morning of knowledge-sharing, networking, and ideation.

 

With coffee in hand and laptops ready, attendees dove into meaningful conversations about the XRPL ecosystem, its cutting-edge Layer 1 infrastructure, and its evolving role in enabling decentralized finance, NFTs, tokenized assets, and more.

Why XRPL?

XRPL (XRP Ledger) has long stood as one of the most efficient, scalable, and sustainable blockchain platforms in the space. With native support for token issuance, a decentralized exchange, and a low energy footprint, XRPL continues to be a powerful platform for real-world blockchain applications — especially in finance, payments, and asset tokenization.

During the Builders Breakfast, participants explored topics such as:

• XRPL’s developer tooling and APIs

• Use cases around real-time payments and liquidity

• Opportunities for hackathon teams to build DeFi, NFT, and impact-driven dApps on XRPL

• XRPL’s commitment to open-source development and community growth

Community at the Core

At APAC DAO, we believe community is the foundation of innovation. The XRPL Builders Breakfast wasn’t just about tech — it was about connecting people who care deeply about creating meaningful change.

From veteran Web3 developers to curious newcomers, every participant brought a unique perspective to the table. We were especially inspired to see how builders from across Southeast Asia shared their local contexts — sparking ideas for region-specific solutions using XRPL’s capabilities.

The event also served as a platform for hackathon participants to form teams, exchange early-stage ideas, and align on project directions with XRPL mentors and ecosystem leads.

What’s Next?

The XRPL Builders Breakfast was just the beginning. Since then, we’ve continued to support XRPL-focused activations, community meetups, and ecosystem awareness throughout APAC. And we’re only just getting started.

 

With more hackathons, workshops, and collaborative programs on the horizon, we’re committed to building an open, inclusive, and thriving developer ecosystem across Asia-Pacific — where XRPL and other foundational technologies can truly shine.
