FAQs
Is there a registration fee?
The event is 100% free — including food, drinks, and full access to the TOKEN2049 conference.
Does TOKEN2049 cover Travel or Accommodation?
No. TOKEN2049 does not cover flights, visa fees, or accommodation. You are responsible for arranging your own travel and stay in Singapore.
Who Should Apply?
Origins is built for people who ship. This is for you if you are:
- Working in a early/growth-stage startup
- An engineer in an enterprise dev team
- A student or researcher
Will there be rest areas at the venue?
Yes. Rest and chill-out spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. However, there are no shower facilities at the venue, so we recommend booking comfortable accommodation nearby.
Do I need to be physically present?
Yes. Physical attendance at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is required for the full 36 hours. We do not offer online or remote participation.
Can you help with Visa invitation letters?
Yes. Confirmed participants who need a visa invitation letter can request one once they are accepted. We'll issue a letter to support your visa application.
How many members are allowed on my team?
Teams can have a maximum of 4 members.
Can I apply as an individual?
Yes. Solo applicants are welcome. If you’d like to join a team but don’t have one, we'll help you find a team.
Can I start working on my project before the event beings?
No. To maintain fairness, all project work must begin after the official hacking period starts. You can brainstorm ideas, but no code, designs, or prototypes before kickoff.
36 hours to ship.
Your demo, in front of global crypto leaders and investors.
