Newspeak House, London E2 7DG

Informal Monday-evening hack night at Newspeak House for engineers building agentic systems. Bring a laptop and a half-working demo — lightweight round of intros, open hacking, quick show-and-tells. A useful regular slot in the London AI agent-builder scene; the room skews to hands-on engineers and indie founders rather than enterprise AI.

ETHLDN teams up with Logos for an evening on sovereign, peer-to-peer infrastructure — Codex, Waku, Nomos and the Logos stack. Programming leans deep on cryptography, decentralised networking and trust-minimised systems, rather than surface-level crypto. Good room for protocol engineers, Web3 researchers and policy-curious founders.
