> The Opportunity // As Linea continued to build momentum across the ecosystem, we recognized a gap: many up-and-coming projects and startups—despite having compelling ideas—often lacked the resources to participate in or host events at major web3 conferences. To meet this need, we created Voyage Waypoint: a fully-supported, community-driven event platform designed to help our ecosystem thrive.

With Linea subsidizing much of the cost and handling infrastructure, we offered partners the tools to host top-tier events tailored to their vision—without the traditional logistical and financial hurdles. From staging to operations to promotion, we created a turnkey festival environment where projects could focus on content and community.

As the program evolved—from building takeovers in Istanbul to full-campus integrations at EthCC Brussels—we scaled with the needs of our partners. What began as multi-stage activations became full-day tent experiences, main stage programming, and more. Voyage Waypoint now serves as a launchpad for energy, collaboration, and visibility, spotlighting the most innovative voices in the Linea ecosystem while reinforcing our commitment to being dapp-first at every step.
