- Common Compute
Invisible Commons
An unconference in Goa, India. Two weeks of talks, co-working, and building across AI, robotics, ZKP, post-quantum cryptography, and formal verification, with Ethereum as the common ground.
Goa, India · 17 to 31 October 2026
Three days before Devcon 8 in Mumbai.
The format
An unconference, not a residency
There is no cohort and no selection. Speakers book their own talks. Builders come to work, and go to the sessions that are useful to them.
Two weeks of talks, co-working, and shipping, with the people who care about the same problems. What you leave with is what you made.
It is a joint project of Invisible Garden, Common Compute and OpenBuild.
- Speakers propose and book their own sessions
- Residents choose what to attend, nothing is mandatory
- No required project, no graduation, no stand-ups
- The schedule emerges from the people who show up
Who is behind it
Three co-hosts, equal weight
Invisible Commons is run jointly. None of the three is the host and the others the guests.
Invisible Garden
Invisible Garden is a traveling academy for Ethereum developers, run as pop-up dev cities since 2024.
Common Compute
Common Compute builds small machines that run AI on their own, in homes, schools and workshops, with nothing leaving the room unless you say so. The hardware and the code are open source.
OpenBuild
OpenBuild is an open community that helps developers get into Web3. It runs more than 90 courses and 150 hands-on challenges, plus bounties that turn learning into paid work.
Subjects
What people come here to work on
Builders and researchers, working in the open. Ethereum is the common ground underneath all of it.
AI
Models, agents, inference, and the infrastructure underneath them.
Robotics
Machines that act in the world, and the software that decides what they do.
Zero knowledge proofs
Proof systems, circuits, tooling.
Post-quantum cryptography
What survives once the assumptions change.
Formal verification
Proving that the code does what it claims.
People come here to give talks, write code, and do research. The social side exists to support the work, and the outcome is what you leave with.
