Enter the XRPL Zone @ Apex Dev Summit 2022
Published: 2022-08-29 20:41:00

Get ready, builders! This year at Apex, we’re excited to help bring you into the XRPL Zone: your all-in-one location for creating and collaborating on new [XRP Ledger (XRPL)](https://www.xrpl.org/) projects. 

Building the next generation of blockchain projects and apps requires two critical components: collaboration and community. Currently, around 50% of crypto developers want a physical place to collaborate, but unfortunately not many are accessible. As Web3 and blockchain continue to heat up, introducing co-working and communal learning spaces to foster innovation becomes more than just a want, but a need.

The XRPL Zone offers developers the best of both worlds with a physical space for building, learning and collaborating in a productive and like-minded environment. Brought to you with the support of many partners, including [MoonPay](https://twitter.com/moonpay) and [XRPL Labs](https://twitter.com/XRPLLabs), the XRPL Zone is an on-ramp for launching and accelerating new ideas on the XRP Ledger. 

**The XRPL Zone: Launching at Apex**

[Apex: XRPL Developer Summit](https://www.apexdevsummit.com/), which takes place Sept. 6-8 in Las Vegas, will be where the pilot launch for the XRPL Zone takes off. The long-term vision is to expand the XRPL Zone to members of the XRPL developer community in countries around the world. 

While Apex aims to inspire new use cases and projects on the XRPL, XRPL Zone will take place Sept. 7-9 for builders to develop alongside other XRPL devs. With a dedicated space to build and collaborate, the XRPL Zone works to further grow a passionate community and accelerate bringing new projects and innovations to life. 

**Get in the Zone**

This brand new space can be accessed by any developer [registered](https://web.cvent.com/event/4b366636-82a3-4414-9451-c7d588a767ce/regProcessStep1) to attend Apex 2022!
