The Commons Hub, which was planning to host a series of hackathons for multiple Cosmos chains, has been ransacked.
The Commons Hub, located in the Austrian Alps, hosted the first ReFi and CoFi conferences, Solarpunk gatherings, post-monetary hackathons, as well as the annual CryptoCommons Gathering since 2021, and has been at the frontier of exploring post-capitalist usecases for Web3.
We set up Cosmos Hub, Regen, Stride and Neutron validators nodes in 2023 as we came to believe in the appchain thesis and its promise for a sovereign future for communities, investing into research of what the stack could build.
This year we were preparing a series of hackathons — The Cosmonauts — for multiple Cosmos chains, culminating in an interchain edition to cultivate a physical space that would serve as a common ground for the ecosystem as a whole.
A place for people to build and to chill and create the bonds required for a complex ecosystem like ours to get along together.
We’ve had to cancel the hackathons and the 70 days of events we had booked for this year. We just invested €80,000 into an eco-friendly pellet oven to heat in the whole building. We put the lion’s share of our personal savings into this project, believing that we were building the foundation for a transformation of our village into a testing ground for emerging technologies and the commons, for the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond.
All in all, including the lost revenue of a full year, we are talking about a financial damage of at least €150.000 - €200.000.

At this point is in uncertain if the Hub will survive.
We’ve come to ask the community to support us in this devastating time.
