The WebZero team represented Polkadot during Consensus in Austin by hosting a Blockspace Mansion for five days in conjunction with the WebZero DevRel team managing the Polkadot track sponsorship at the EasyA hackathon.
The mission was a standout success, drawing 535 individual guests to the hacker house and collecting submissions from 21 teams at the hackathon. The overall scope included marketing, hosting and managing multiple events that attracted dozens of teams from other ecosystems and functioning as a hub for the active hackers to co-work and participate in workshops, interacting with Polkadot ecosystem agents throughout.
The &ldquo;always open&rdquo;, casual and inviting atmosphere of the Blockspace Mansion with the signature WebZero kitchen made it a convenient stop for many guests and put Polkadot in front of a larger audience.
