ALEPH FESTIVAL

Aleph Festival 2025: Argentina On-Chain – The Builder Funnel to Devconnect

About the Event & Organizer

Aleph Festival 2025, hosted by the Crecimiento movement, transforms Buenos Aires into a vibrant three-month innovation hub from August 25 to November 22, 2025, at the Aleph Hub. It’s a dynamic convergence of builders, founders, policymakers, and creators driven by the mission to “Bring Argentina Onchain.” The festival unfolds through a powerful “Builder Funnel”—a massive LATAM hackathon (August 29–31), an immersive six-week Buildathon (September 29–November 7), and culminates in the high-stakes Startup World Cup (November 21–22), all paired with technical summits, a Crypto Conference, and a Regulation Day. It's a unique platform blending community, mentorship, creation, and regulatory dialogue to spark Latin America’s crypto–AI frontier. 

This three-month festival brings together: LatAm’s largest hackathon, A six-week Buildathon, the Startup World Cup, Technical summits, a big crypto conference, and a Regulation Day
