Berlin is a burgeoning center for blockchain. As decentralised as the technology itself, Berlin Blockchain Week is a community-organized initiative with no single owner or organiser. It is an agnostic movement based on the premise that self-organization is the backbone of the ecosystem, with various events planned by the people, for the people. Check out some of our favourites below.

Blockchain is most notably known for its decentralised, distributed ledger technology.
