Libere, a Web3 infrastructure provider for digital book distribution, has secured second place at the Infinity Hackathon organized by Indonesia’s Ministry of Creative Economy in collaboration with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The achievement follows the founders’ recent admission as participants in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.protocolcamp.com/">Protocol Camp</a> 2025, a selective Web3 builder program admitting only 20 builders from across Asia.
Libere was recognized for its technical rigor and its focus on applying blockchain infrastructure to real-world public digital services, strengthening cultural infrastructure and open access to information. Libere’s core purpose centers on the development of an on-chain public library system, leveraging blockchain and NFTs to manage digital ownership, creator royalties, and institutional governance. Following its success at the Infinity Hackathon, Libere is exploring a pilot initiative with ITB and the Bandung City Government.
Protocol Camp is co-hosted by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.hashed.com/">Hashed</a>, a global Web3 investment firm founded in 2017, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://shardlab.com">ShardLab</a>, its research and development arm working with regional partners including SCBX. The program supports individual builders developing early-stage decentralized technologies with practical use cases, emphasizing system design, technical depth, and long-term impact.
Since joining Protocol Camp, Libere’s founders have continued to advance the project through active development and early-stage collaborations with Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) and the Bandung City Government. These collaborations are exploring the application of blockchain technology within public institutions, with a focus on improving transparency, governance, and access to digital knowledge.
<blockquote>
 “Protocol Camp reflects our belief that good systems begin with careful thinking,” said Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO and Managing Partner of Hashed. “Seeing builders like Libere engage thoughtfully with real-world use cases is exactly what we aim to support through the program.”
</blockquote>
Protocol Camp participants take part in a series of in-person sessions held across major Asian cities. Joining protocol design discussions, technical mentoring, and peer exchange, builders engage with researchers and experts shaping the region’s decentralized technology landscape. Libere is scheduled to present its work at the program’s final showcase in Tokyo in January 2026.
<blockquote>
 “Libere showcases the innovation and capability of Indonesian talent on the world stage,” said Teuku Rifky, Indonesia’s Minister of Creative Economy. “We are proud to see young Indonesian builders creating solutions that strengthen both our creative economy and public services.”
