The agreement places TxPipe in charge of recurring hackathons, workshops, and meet-ups at IOG’s recently opened Buenos Aires office, using the company’s TX3 developer toolkit to onboard engineers to the Cardano ecosystem. IOG will provide the venue, logistical backing, and promotional reach, while both firms commit to co-hosting community events that also spotlight Midnight, IOG’s privacy-focused protocol.
Charles Hoskinson, IOG’s chief executive, framed the collaboration as an investment in local talent: “We are thrilled to partner with TxPipe. Their team represents the best of what Argentina’s developer community has to offer, and together we are building a foundation for long-term ecosystem growth. Our collaboration also fulfills the broader vision of making IO Buenos Aires a crypto hub.”
Santiago Carmuega, TxPipe’s co-founder, echoed the sentiment: “This partnership shows what’s possible when mission-aligned teams come together. We’re excited to help shape the future of crypto in Latin America.”
“Argentina stands out as a strategic choice for long-term Web3 investment and ecosystem growth. With a highly skilled developer base, a strong culture of digital experimentation, and ongoing economic challenges, the country presents ideal conditions for the advancement of IO’s decentralized technologies. It also ranks among the world’s leaders in cryptocurrency adoption, as citizens and residents increasingly turn to digital assets for everyday transactions and to navigate inflation,” the press release states.
The partnership follows IOG’s formal inauguration of its Buenos Aires office on 21 May 2025. Notably, IOG has been nurturing technical talent in the country for some time. In September 2024 the company’s education team delivered a two-week Cardano developer course at the National Technological University (UTN) in Buenos Aires, describing it as a “momentous” hands-on programme that deepened ties with the local community.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.69.
