Last Saturday, April 26, something amazing happened in Cartagena. Together with an inspiring group of students, devs, and curious minds, we hosted the first Base Batches IRL workshop in our city and we couldn’t be more proud of what we created together.

We been working on bringing more awareness to Latin America, and Base Batches gave us the perfect platform to do just that. For those unfamiliar, Base Batches is a global initiative by Base designed to onboard and support the next generation of onchain builders. It’s not just about coding, it’s about building a better, more open internet that we all can be part of.

Video recap here

How It All Started

In the days leading up to the main workshop, we hosted a series of introductory sessions on April 24 and 25 at the Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar and the Universidad de Cartagena. These early meetups were key they helped us plant the seeds, connect with students, and demystify what it really means to build onchain. We discussed how blockchain isn’t just about coins or speculation, but about creating tools and platforms to solve real world problems and open access to a global economy.

The Big Day: April 26

The main event took place at the Sociedad de Ingenieros y Arquitectos de Bolívar, right in the heart of Cartagena. From 11 AM to 6 PM, builders came together to learn, build, and collaborate.

Fabioanaya.eth kicked things off with an overview of Base, why it matters, and the incredible opportunity we all have to create a global, open economy. We also walked participants through minting their Base names, which was a fun and symbolic way to say, “You belong here. You’re now part of the onchain world.”

Then came jacob, who brought the technical magic. He introduced everyone to Solidity, explained how smart contracts work, and showed how to start building apps on Base.

From Inspiration to Creation After we covered the basics, we presented the five key categories from the Base Batches program:

• AI: Building onchain agents with tools like AgentKit

• Stablecoins: Practical use cases like remittances, payments, and savings

• Mini-apps: Lightweight apps using MiniKit that integrate with Base’s social layer

• Consumer apps: Games, media, anything that reaches everyday users

• Showcase: Projects that already exist but want to grow with Base

Watching the energy shift as people started forming teams was incredible. Some came solo, others with friends, but everyone found a way to connect. We made space for real time networking so that builders could meet each other, find shared interests, and start collaborating on the spot.

One of the most rewarding parts for me was seeing a student from Universidad de Cartagena, who had never coded before, pitch a mini-app idea for crowdfunding community projects. That’s the kind of story that keeps me going.

Building in Public, Learning Together

Before we wrapped, every team had the chance to pitch their ideas in public. We believe in "building in public" because it invites feedback, builds confidence, and strengthens community. Whether someone had a polished pitch or just an early sketch, the crowd was supportive and curious. That’s what this is all about.

Local Roots, Global Vision

This Base Batches workshop was more than an IRL event, it was a signal. A signal that Cartagena is ready to build, and that we can be an important part of the global onchain movement.

Special shoutout to Cartagena Onchain, a local initiative that’s pushing to turn our city into a global crypto hub. Their support made all the difference in creating an environment where people felt included and empowered.

What Comes Next?

The projects we started here in Cartagena are now moving forward. Teams will continue working on their ideas, submitting to the Base Batches buildathon, and joining a global network of builders who believe in the power of open technology.

If you're reading this and feeling the FOMO don’t worry. Base Batches is just getting started. You can learn more, register for future events, and even submit your own project at basebatches.xyz

Let’s Keep Building, it means everything to us to help create opportunities that empower local talent and connect us to the world. If this event taught us one thing, it’s that we don’t need to wait for permission to build the future, we can start now, together, onchain.

Stay tuned for more workshops, meetups, and stories from the region. And if you’re a builder, designer, dreamer or just an onchain curious get in touch. There’s a place for you here.

Innovation, Community, and Pizza

On December 21, 2024, the vibrant city of Cartagena, Colombia, became the stage for a groundbreaking event organized by Cartagena Onchain, in collaboration with PizzaDAO and supported by Base Colombia. This event not only introduced participants to the exciting world of Web3, but also showcased how this innovation can seamlessly integrate into their daily lives.

The event kicked off with an introduction to decentralized wallets like Coinbase Wallet, highlighting their essential role in building a more open and accessible economy. Participants also explored the opportunities offered by Base, a scaling solution for Ethereum that enables faster, more cost-efficient, and reliable transactions. Through this, attendees gained an understanding of how Base fosters the creation of a global borderless economy, connecting people and communities worldwide.

As part of the event, many attendees registered their very own base.eth domain, a key tool for establishing their digital identity. These names, fully onchain and powered by ENS (Ethereum Name Service) technology, allow users to assign human-readable names to their wallet addresses on Base. This not only simplified their onchain experience but also laid the foundation for future interactions in the Web3 ecosystem.

The experience also featured an interactive activity using Slice.so, a platform that integrates onchain technology with everyday experiences. Participants had the opportunity to mint their own onchain experience using USDC by Circle by creating a personalized pizza from scratch. From selecting their favorite toppings to baking and enjoying it, this activity was not only entertaining but also showcased how onchain technology can make our interactions more engaging and meaningful.

The enthusiasm of the participants reflected the event’s success. They not only learned about the possibilities of onchain technology but also experienced firsthand how it can transform their everyday lives. This first onchain experience in Cartagena marks a significant step toward the adoption of new technologies in Colombia, proving that the future is decentralized, inclusive, and full of opportunities.

Thanks to Cartagena onchain, PizzaDAO, and Base Colombia, Cartagena is positioning itself as a pioneer in the onchain world. If you’re ready to join the revolution, we invite you to explore, learn, and become part of the change!
