**This is _VERY_ exciting for me to see.** DWeb Camp is an event and community that is very close to my heart. Zk Av Club would not exist, not in concept nor practice, without DWeb Camp. Full stop. I’ve been going to DWeb Camp since the very first one in California and it has changed my life completely, for the best. It’s where the club was born and where we did our first in-person experiments that led us to the Recording Station. I encourage everyone to try to make it to Berlin for this. Here’s the thread where Zk Av Club is tracking our activities and announcements regarding camp and Berlin Blockchain Week this year: > [@Berlin Blockchain Week and DWeb Camp 2026 | Zk Av Club](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/berlin-blockchain-week-and-dweb-camp-2026-zk-av-club/55047): > > Zero-knowledge Audiovisual Club is headed to Berlin this summer! We’re inviting people to come out, take part, and help shape what happens there. We’ll be running Recording Stations and other activations across Berlin Blockchain Week and at DWeb Camp. If you’ve been looking for a hands-on way to get involved in [Zk Av Club](https://zkav.club), this is a good moment to do it. These events are particularly meaningful to the project: DWeb Camp is where the Recording Station came to life. First in [Brazil (2023)](https://archive.org/details/dweb-stories-brazil-2023) and … ---

I keep hearing about DWeb camp, from entirely different people in different social circles! This seems like an awesome opportunity to bond over a week with builders plus the real movers and shakers in the web3 space. From a Toronto friend, to scrappy builders of ETHDenver and even at ETHCC Cannes, people are talking about DWeb. It seems like the place to be this summer. I’ve been to regional burns (think Burning man, but smaller and in the woods) which was fun and created lasting friendships, but adding the decentralized web3 theme, privacy, coders and builders, this event sounds epic. @fabacab and I are definitely interested in attending. ---

If you want to know more about DWeb, and how it’s different than Web3, here’s a good article by Mai Ishikawa Sutton about that: > **[The Debate Over DWeb vs. Web3 & The Decentralized Elephant in the Room | FFDW](https://ffdweb.org/digest/issue-1/the-debate-over-dweb-vs-web3-the-decentralized-elephant-in-the-room)** > > Comparing DWeb and Web3's approaches to decentralization, focusing on the key question: who designs, controls, and benefits from these technologies? I think this is important to read this in order to understand the DWeb community and the people who contribute there. IMO this should weigh into the very difficult decision that ZCG is making. ## Videos that Zk Av Club recorded at the DWeb meetup at c-base in Berlin, 28 February 2026 **Lightning talk about DWeb Camp by Brewster Kahle** **Fireside chat with Brewster Kahle and Wendy Hanamura** _ **Also worth mentioning here:** _ Zk Av Club will cover ticket, camping, and food costs (everything except travel) for anyone who is volunteering at the Recording Station or recording stages with us at DWeb Camp this summer. DM me. ---

Thanks for sharing the article, it is good to note the differences in events, and respect the culture within. A business suit looks largely out of place at ETHDenver raves, and a Milady meme shirt would garnish judgemental looks in Cannes networking salons. Like the article author Mai Ishikawa Sutton points out, I use “web3” as “Nowadays, though, Web3 has come to signal something more specific: protocols and platforms that involve blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, including cryptocurrencies.” of which zcash falls under this rough definition. I kinda wish the author gave a better definition for the use of “DWeb” as I see “While “DWeb” is still one of the terms commonly used in this space, it’s not used nearly as heavily as a marketing buzzword. For many, it’s become more of a general adjective than a word describing a movement or a major shift in the evolution of the Web.” and then… ”I find “DWeb” to be an incredibly useful umbrella to organize under. It seems to attract people who are not only interested in building a new Web (and many Webs) for the sake of profit, but also for the sake of addressing concrete challenges, especially those faced by the most marginalized communities.” Personally, my feeling toward zcash seem to fall in both term usage. Zcash is a web3 project involving blockchains/crypto and for me, it’s also a project that can give access to financial services to the marginalized and de-banked populations (as well as normal folks), which is under the DWeb umbrella. The outreach to marginalized communities is the largest reason I volunteer my time to support @fabacab ‘s [NYC-based workshops](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/supporting-financial-privacy-education-for-at-risk-communities/51872), as well as invest heavily in grassroot marketing. Zcash is tech I want to see in the world. @fabacab and I have submitted an application to attend, confirmation of receipt from @ZCG? I have included our friend Bee who will be joining us in Chicago for the [Exxxotica adult industry conference](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/marketing-at-ethcc-exxxotica-chicago/54832) to teach Zodl wallet usage to sex workers, gig workers, content creators; the very people who are marginalized by society, and often excluded from mainstream banking systems. ---

DWeb is difficult to define. I think that’s because it’s a whole movement and not just software or protocols. You’re right, it’s very much like Zcash in that way. There’s a lot of alignment between the two ecosystems/communities, in values and contributors. I have no doubt that you and VI would fit right in, have a blast, and represent Zcash well, as you do everywhere you go 😁 ---

DWeb Camp is an event that is co-created by everyone who participates. So as we get closer to the event and proposed sessions and activities roll in, the program begins to take shape. At this month’s virtual meetup, we’re going to highlight a few of the projects and content tracks you’ll see at Camp this summer. > **[DWeb Virtual Meetup—Sneak Peek: Projects Coming to Camp (April 2026)](https://tix.dod.ngo/dwebcamp/virtualmeetup-april2026/)** > > Thu, April 30, 2026 ---

We are preparing to fly out today, anyone else joining at dweb? We’ll be rocking our zcash shirts, talking about tech, and handing out our signature “Protection is ZECsy” condoms. If folks can’t find us organically,@fabacab has a talk on Saturday to talk about Zodl for everyday use, [How Sex Workers Are Using Zcash for Financial Freedom](https://talx.dod.ngo/dwebcamp-2026/talk/RB3PD9/). The team will be there to support, and answer questions in the crowd. From Berlin Blockchain Week. Left to right: Violet, Mylo, Justine (not coming to camp), Cosmo. ![signal-2026-06-20-03-51-26-261-5](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/8/b/8b65ad64ef0fd43eb00ef236f534cca8d7200ebd.jpeg) Thanks @ZCG for believing in this team for another trip.
