One year of the Urbe Hub.
February 15, 2025, we opened a space in Rome for builders. Not sure if it would work. Not sure if people would show up. They did.
Workshops and late nights working on projects. Roma matches on the screen. Urbe Village, our first pop-up city, brought the community together for two weeks. Meetups, hacker houses, deep technical dives. A place where builders show up every day.
AKASHA made this possible. They understood what we were testing: permanent infrastructure, not temporary hype. The Ethereum Foundation recognized the Hub as an official Ethereum Community Hub. The road was right.
This first year has been a test. We took a difficult path, maintaining a physical space in an industry that moves online by default. But the Hub had an impact on our lives, on our community, on Rome. We showed it was possible.
Technology will change. What won't: human connections and builders you want to work with, have fun with, and build the future with.
The Hub now has an ambitious plan to make a bigger impact in our city and become a Frontier Tech Hub where new ideas are tested and shipped.
Year two starts now.
🎉 Two days to celebrate Urbe Hub becoming an official Ethereum Community Hub
