What Was DevGAMM Gdansk 2024?
DevGAMM Gdansk 2024 was a game-developer conference held in Gdansk, Poland, on 28 and 29 February 2024. Part of the long-running DevGAMM series, it brought studios, indie developers, and Web3 gaming teams together for talks, a game expo, and career sessions. The official page sat on the DevGAMM site. Gdansk, a historic port city on the Baltic, has become a strong base for the region's growing game industry.
While DevGAMM is a games event first, its Web3 and blockchain-gaming tracks drew real interest from builders. To follow Web3 gaming and similar shows, see CoinGabbar's Web3 tech events list and the crypto events calendar.
Key Themes at DevGAMM Gdansk
The agenda matched a maker-and-studio crowd:
- Game design and production for indie and mid-size studios.
- Web3 gaming and digital ownership, a focus you can follow on our NFT events hub.
- Funding, publishing, and business for game teams.
- Careers and hiring across the Baltic game scene.
The expo floor let studios show builds and meet players. Many teams also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto and Web3 Are Growing in Poland
Poland is one of Europe's biggest crypto markets by user count, and its story is unusual. By some estimates, around 7.9 million Poles, roughly one-fifth of the population, use crypto, and the country has become the world's fifth-largest Bitcoin ATM hub. Chainalysis ranked Poland eighth in Europe for crypto value received between mid-2024 and mid-2025, with over 50% year-on-year growth. Crypto gains are taxed at a flat 19% through the PIT-38 form.
Yet Poland is also the EU's lone MiCA holdout. The bloc's MiCA rules have applied since December 2024, but President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the national implementation bill three times, first in December 2025 and again in early 2026, over concerns about regulator powers and compliance costs. Until the country names the KNF as its crypto regulator, providers run under old anti-money-laundering rules, with a hard EU transition deadline of 1 July 2026. For Web3 game studios, Poland's large user base and strong developer talent still make it a magnet, even amid the rule debate. For more shows, see CoinGabbar's crypto conferences page.
Impact of the Event on Poland's Web3 Gaming Scene
A game-developer event in Gdansk helps Poland in clear ways. It connects local studios with global publishers and funds. It gives Web3 gaming teams a stage in a country with deep coding talent. And it shows that Poland is not only a strong crypto-user market but also a place where games and blockchain meet. Each edition feeds the next hire, launch, or studio.
