Hey fam. Let’s talk crypto events.

They’re underrated because they are the cornerstone of serendipitous interactions and developer onboarding for the ecosystem — but overrated because most events end up as panels and networking mixers.

The Solana community’s goal should be to encourage the first part, and avoid the second. Here’s how the @SolanaFndn is thinking about events in 2025:

Why not enjoy holiday szn a little longer?

Breakpoint ‘25

Breaking News: Electric Capital’s Developer Report shows Solana as the #1 ecosystem for new developers in 2024!

This marks the first time any ecosystem has surpassed Ethereum for new devs since 2016 — 7,625 new devs built on Solana this year.

Let’s dive into some highlights 🧵

Buckle up Solana fam — Breakpoint is heading to Abu Dhabi exactly ONE year from today! 🇦🇪

For the next 72 hours, snag your tickets for $250 before they jump to $500. Not a typo. Yes, this is your sign to grab em now.

Quick download for anyone speed scrolling: We're taking over Etihad Arena in the bustling hub of Abu Dhabi from 11-13 Dec. 2025. Expect two main stages like last year (product on one, deep tech on the other), a massive builder zone, and do bizdev F1 style again.

And yes — there's special rates for devs ($250), creators ($250), and students ($100) after the flash sale ends, but you'll need to apply. Fair warning: spots are limited and these always go fast.

Ready to send it? Snag your tickets below before 13 Dec. and we’ll see you in Abu Dhabi 🫡
