Welcome!

(https://www.web3builderssummit.com/)
General Event Information:

• Event date: May 24-27, 2026 (Main event May 25)
  
• Location: Da Nang, Vietnam
  
• Event format: Hybrid (Conference / Residency / Networking Dinner)
  

We propose a two-layer participation strategy for Dash during W3BS 2026 in Da Nang:

1. Core presence inside W3BS (as a partner)
   
2. Dedicated co-hosted side event with multiple partners
   

This approach allows Dash to maximize exposure and builder acquisition while keeping costs efficient.

1. W3BS Partnership - $1,000
Deck details (https://docsend.com/view/yv7xnvwfq2cyzdf2)
Dash joins W3BS as an official partner.

• Main goal: Establishing a long-term Web3 ecosystem in Vietnam, focusing on transforming technology ideas into real-world products (Proof of Execution).
  
• Target audience: "Agile Pragmatists" (Senior Developers, Tech Leads), Web3 Founders, international VCs, and government representatives.
  
• Key topics: AI & Blockchain Integration, RWA Workflows, Agentic Finance, and the Web3 Regulatory Sandbox in Da Nang.
  
• Relevance for Dash: Vietnam is a market with one of the highest crypto adoption rates in the world. W3BS is an opportunity for Dash to directly access 2,000+ high-quality developers to build real-world payment/DAO solutions, instead of just superficial marketing.
  

Includes:

• Speaker slot during the main event
  
• Brand presence (backdrops, media, mentions)
  
• Access to 100+ high-quality builders and founders
  
• Inclusion in W3BS ecosystem communications
  

Goal:

• Establish initial presence
  
• Position Dash in front of the Vietnamese builder audience
  

This is the entry point into the ecosystem.

1.1. Team:

• Organizing team: sqrDAO - Vietnam's leading Web3 Builder community (https://x.com/sqrDAO)
  
• Key contact: Faros - head of partnership (t.me/Farosdozz).
  
• Special Opportunity: sqrDAO has just been licensed to operate the Danang Blockchain Hub by the local government, ensuring all event organization activities are legal and the safest in Vietnam today. We have maximum flexibility to customize partnership packages based on Dash's specific technical goals.
  

1.2. Previous Experience:

2. Dash Side Event - $2,000
In addition to W3BS, we organize a separate co-hosted side event.
Not a Dash-only event - multi-partner format, which significantly increases attendance and credibility.

Event Format:

• Outdoor networking event (villa venue already sourced from our new local partners) (https://www.airbnb.com.vn/rooms/1493240320066864335?source_impression_id=p3_1775583646_P3iwKPH6d-TnALT0)
  
• Short talks (5-10 min format)
  
• Builder-focused discussions
  
• Informal networking
  

Local insight: outdoor events perform best in Vietnam’s Web3 scene.

Attendance:

• Expected attendees: 100+ (Hardcore Builders & Founders). Up to 150 with additional partners
  
• Number of speakers: ~50
  
• Number of partner companies: 40+ (Including foundation arms like Solana Superteam, Lisk venture, Pharos Network; top tier local partners like Conviction, Swiss EP Vietnam, Spore Network and Tier 1 funds)
  
• Regions represented: Vietnam, SEA, Global (US, Europe, Singapore)
  
• Online reach: 100,000+ Social Impressions
  

Audience:

• Builders / developers
  
• Founders
  
• Web3-native users
  
• Local ecosystem players

Partners:

• Local co-host (in progress, for legal compliance)
  
• PIEBIT exchange (https://x.com/Piebitexchange) - confirmed, contributing additional budget
  
• HyperBuilder (https://x.com/hyperbuilder_hl), Avalanche (https://x.com/avax), Lisk (https://x.com/Lisk) - in discussions and are interested in 
  
• Additional partners in pipeline
  

Multi-partner setup = stronger reach and lower CAC.

Dash Role:

• Proposed types: Speaking slot - Dasha will represent Dash as a speaker, as she typically does. Panel participation, Workshop, Branding, Booth
  
• Detailed description: Dash presents new technology/direction, Offline Demo; sqrDAO supports with setting up merch, Flyers if needed, Technical support during the speech, applying for 1-2 additional speaking slots in events where most participants are builders within the Web3 event series in Da Nang in May.
  
• Workshops: Instructions for integrating Dash into real-world dApps during the Residency series.
  
• Marketing: Dash appears on all media collateral (KV, Backdrop, Merch) and is mentioned throughout the W3BS event series.

Why This Matters:

• Vietnam is one of the highest crypto adoption markets
  
• Based on ecosystem experience, Vietnam produces one of the strongest builder pipelines
  
• Da Nang is an emerging startup hub supported by the government
  
• Local Blockchain Hub (state-supported)
  → critical for compliance and long-term presence
  

This is not just an event - it is market entry.

Cost Advantage
Da Nang offers extremely low-cost execution compared to:

• Singapore
  
• Europe
  

Similar events elsewhere would cost 3-5x more.

Total Budget

• $1,000 - W3BS partnership
  
• $2,000 - side event
  
• $500 - reserved just in case for volatility
  
• $500 - presentation, merch, roll-up banners, and other design-related expenses.
  

Total: $4,000
Part of the side event cost can be offset via partners like PIEBIT.

Expected Outcomes

• 100-150 targeted attendees
  
• 5-10 builder teams for potential Dash integration
  
• Stronger positioning in SEA
  
• Direct relationships with:
  
• Local builders
  
• Government-aligned ecosystem
  
• Regional partners
  

ConclusionThis structure gives Dash:

• Presence inside the main builder event
  
• Ownership of a high-quality side event
  
• Access to Vietnam’s builder ecosystem at very low cost
  

Compared to standalone sponsorships, this is a much higher ROI setup.
