We’ve come to the end of yet another BlockSplit conference! We laughed, learned, shared, and laughed some more. And let’s not forget about the crazy parties!
Overall, it was a blockchain & chill kind of conference, an all-week program that started with the all-day workshops on Monday, followed by a two-day conference, and combined with additional side events: meetups, parties, sailing, etc.
For those who couldn’t be there or those who want to remember it forever (not because it is forgettable, but because of all the booze maybe), we thought it would be good to create a BlockSplit 3 recap and immortalize it. Let’s check what happened in Split 👇

On May 23rd, the workshops took place in PICS, which were hosted by renowned web3 professionals from around the world.
The workshops we had were “Intro to Web3 Design”, “Building Full-stack dApps”, “Oracles and Contracts”, “Oh Snap! It’s Metamask!”, and “Legal Challenges in Blockchain Space”. Thus, a lot of valuable information was shared, from learning web3 design to understanding how legal aspects affect the blockchain space.
🧑🏫 We've just kicked off our #Oracles & #SmartWeave workshops on @blocksplit

Besides the workshops, UBIK organized a regulatory panel discussion involving Croatian Central Bank, Financial Regulators and other prominent names from the Croatian crypto scene.
NEAR Balkans Hub’s NEARby meetup was the place to be that evening!
Even though the time we spent in #Split was short, it's been an unforgettable experience 😎

After the very insightful and busy workshop day, we were ready to take the next step at Hrvatski Dom! May 24th was the day for panels, talks, and discussions.
The day started with the opening ceremony by Antonio Perić-Mažar & Vlaho Hrdalo.

And the rest of the day was filled with talks and panels, from understanding the dynamics of the DeFi interests market to the utilization of NFTs & metaverse for brands & corporations.

It wasn’t all about talks. We also had a surprise show by Fifi Rong — web3 is indeed here to make us all freer than ever!

When the stomachs started to rumble after a day full of activities, it was time for a beautiful dinner with live music — well, it was a DJ performance.
After the VIP dinner, all people needed was some summer sea breeze, and a drink 🍸. Shard Labs took care of that with a fantastic house party for participants — and let us tell you something, people went crazy in there 🥳
The house party may have burned the roof off, but we still managed to catch the talks and panels on May 25th too.
From learning about Solidity…

To the current state of DeFi and privacy, the last day of BlockSplit 3 conference was a blast.

After the last day of the conference, we felt like dancing, because who doesn’t? That’s when the Freak Show Electronic came running for help, thanks to AMPnet!
What a blueness! 😍 @blocksplit, this is all we needed. 👌 #blocksplit3 pic.twitter.com/CGQaTTqp2c

Did you think we were done? Of course not, we couldn’t leave without an exclusive boat trip 🤷♀️ We must say, swimming in the Adriatic Sea made u wish the conference would never end.
You want to experience parkour running, but on the sea? We got you!

After BlockSplit 3 ended (unfortunately), it was time for hacking! Encode organized a web3 hackathon right after the conference ended, but we have to say it was an amazing closure for us.
We’ve met our fellow hackers, learned about blockchain, won great prizes, and enjoyed the beautiful Croatian coastline.
Like every beautiful thing in life, BlockSplit 3 came to an end. Once again, we realized that web3 enthusiasts know how to work & party at the same time.
We hope you enjoyed this journey as much as we did. See you next time!
