Common S3nse takes place on September 4–5 in Amsterdam as part of Cypherpunk Week, a week-long series of independent, community-organized events running from August 31 to September 6. Organized by CryptoCanal, Common S3nse brings together builders, researchers, developers, students, and curious minds for two days of learning, collaboration, and open discussion.

What is Common S3nse?

Common S3nse is a conference and hackathon focused on privacy, security, cryptography, decentralized systems, and liberty. It is designed as a space for thoughtful conversations, technical exploration, and collaboration, without sales-driven agendas.

What is Cypherpunk Week?

Cypherpunk Week (August 31 – September 6) is a decentralized, community-led week of independent events taking place across Amsterdam. Anyone can participate by organizing meetups, workshops, discussions, or side events focused on privacy, decentralization, freedom of expression, and censorship resistance.

What to Expect at Common S3nse

The two-day program includes:

• Two stages with talks and panels on privacy, security, cryptography, and decentralized infrastructure
• A hackathon, (1 week online + presenting IRL) where builders collaborate, experiment, and learn together
• The Otter Tank, offering builders a space to share projects, ideas, and work in progress
• Breakout rooms for workshops and smaller group discussions
• Time and space to connect with others attending events throughout Cypherpunk Week

Why Amsterdam?

Amsterdam has become a hub for privacy-first builders and decentralized technology advocates. With a strong hacker culture, deep financial history, and active Web3 community, it’s the perfect place for a conference dedicated to pushing the limits of decentralized innovation.

An Open Invitation

Cypherpunk Week is intentionally open and participatory. Individuals, collectives, and projects are encouraged to organize their own independent events alongside Common S3nse and contribute to the broader week.
