Shanhaiwu • Singapore sincerely invites every aspiring individual to shape a new internet productivity and production relationship by building the next generation of applications, contributing to the creation of an open and autonomous world.
Next Generation Applications
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Ethereum, the Ethereum ecosystem has also entered a new phase: the infrastructure is basically complete, but real-world adoption remains limited.
The recent Pectra upgrade has implemented the Ethereum Foundation's new strategic goals—expanding the L1 layer, expanding the Blob layer, and enhancing user experience—by optimizing the Staking mechanism, reducing L2 costs through Blob expansion, and enabling scalable transactions and gas sponsorship through account abstraction.
As the Ethereum Foundation states, "This moment may be the best time for Ethereum to deploy technology and cyberpunk values globally," it is time to build the next generation of applications.
We define the next generation of applications as usable, sustainable, and truly widely adopted applications.
In the current market downturn, we are focusing more on the product itself. How do we address the real needs of users? How do we find Product-Market Fit (PMF)? How do we ultimately build a product that can generate its own revenue? These are unavoidable questions on the road to mass adoption. In the chaotic blockchain world, do you also have the courage to choose the red pill, to adhere to cyberpunk values, and to return to the original intention of building?
Indeed, we are in a constantly changing cycle, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence brings both opportunities and challenges to the blockchain industry. If blockchain technology provides a new template for transaction settlement, data storage, and system design, then artificial intelligence represents a revolution in computation, analysis, and content delivery.
This is not just a simple integration of two cutting-edge technologies; it will also bring unprecedented synergies. In the field of AI and blockchain, we have already seen the vigorous development of AI platforms like Bittensor, AI tools and resources like Grass, and AI applications and agents like Virtuals. New use cases are emerging, likely to bring industry transformation and reshape our ways of living and working.
As blockchain infrastructure becomes faster, cheaper, and more reliable, and artificial intelligence revolutionizes productivity and efficiency while driving industrial upgrades, the tipping point for application explosion has arrived.

Shanhaiwu • Singapore
In 2023, Shanhaiwu built a "counter-modernism" and "anti-involution" tribal myth at Beida Lake; in 2024, Shanhaiwu opened the door to communication between Eastern and Western blockchain communities in Chiang Mai; in September 2025, Shanhaiwu will set sail again in Singapore, witnessing the birth of the next generation of AI and Ethereum native applications.
We are recruiting up to 200 participants:
Individual Builders
Developers, researchers, designers, operations, product/growth personnel—anyone who is building or eager to build.
Teams/Startups
Early teams building real-world applications in the fields of Ethereum, AI, or other cutting-edge technologies (valued at $30 million)—dedicated to redefining how people collaborate, create, and interact.

Shanhaiwu • Singapore will set off again in a new form, cohabiting, co-learning, and co-building "Shanhaiwu" with pioneering builders in an open and diverse country, exploring the possibilities of large-scale adoption based on artificial intelligence and blockchain.
⛰️ Shanhaiwu • Singapore
You will arrive in Singapore in September, not just for work, but to find your rhythm, meet partners, and reignite your passion for building.
01/ Living and Building
✦ Living and Building: You will have the freedom to choose suitable accommodation (we will provide hotel discounts), but every day we will gather in the same space to work, dine, communicate, think, and advance together. Here, you will re-understand the meaning of building with purpose.
02/ Clear-Paced Sprints
✦ Clear-Paced Sprints: This month will be divided into four phases: from direction calibration to product refinement, feedback iteration, and finally to complete presentation. You will have enough space to delve deeply, and there will be people to explore with you.
03/ Listening to Real Experiences
✦ Listening to Real Experiences: You will hear many stories from creators—founders, engineers, protocol designers—who will share the most authentic stories, the paths they have walked, the pitfalls they have encountered, and the things they wish they had known earlier.
04/ Sharing with More People
✦ Sharing with More People: Many courses and sessions will be recorded and made public so that others can grow together. Not just for ourselves, but for those builders who cannot be present at the moment.
05/ Growth and Communication
✦ Growth and Communication: If you come alone, you will quickly find like-minded partners. We will also guide you to connect with subsequent support—whether it’s community, funding, or the next journey.
This is a space for deep thinking, honest communication, and shared pursuits. You will gain tangible results and meet those partners you desire to continue building with.
Become a Dock Citizen
Rooted in blockchain-native and cyberpunk values, Shanhaiwu • Singapore is looking for teams/individuals deeply engaged in the following areas:
01 AI x Blockchain
Building decentralized AI infrastructure and applications, including open AI model markets, privacy-preserving computing, natural language smart contract development tools, AI agents, and complete interaction paths between AI agents and the blockchain world.
02 Smart Hardware and Robotics
Exploring smart hardware integrated with blockchain technology, privacy-preserving AI assistants, decentralized robotic systems, and new generation devices that empower users with sovereignty, emphasizing local computation and trust-minimized collaboration in physical spaces.
03 Next Generation DeFi and Payment Systems (PayFi)
Advancing financial protocols that connect on-chain and off-chain worlds, addressing key issues such as long-tail credit, on-chain real-world assets (RWA), and cross-system interoperable payments.
04 Information Finance
Building systems centered on "truth" and "verification" as core assets, including on-chain reputation systems, innovative prediction markets, and information-based coordination protocols.
05 Beyond DeFi: Real-World Applications and Collaboration Tools
Creating decentralized social platforms for creators and communities, permissionless collaboration tools, privacy-focused data infrastructure, and new coordination mechanisms supporting digital-native communities and public goods.
06 Infrastructure Innovation
Continuously strengthening Ethereum's underlying capabilities and user experience, from modular rollups, shared sequencing, zero-knowledge proof systems, to enhancing developer experience (vibe coding) and interoperability protocols.
Whether you are an individual developer, researcher, designer, operations, or product/growth personnel, or an early project team building practical applications within the Ethereum ecosystem, we sincerely invite you/your team to join Shanhaiwu • Singapore to build real-world applications that embody the spirit of cryptography and can be widely used by the public during this critical window of impending explosion in AI and Ethereum applications.
