ETHTaipei 2025, the annual event of the Ethereum ecosystem, will be held in Taipei Nangang Bottle Cap Factory (POPOP Taipei) in April 2025. As the third conference held by ETHTaipei, this year it will work with ETHGlobal, an internationally renowned hackathon organizer, for the first time to create a two-day conference and a three-day hackathon. What is particularly noteworthy is that Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum who has not appeared for a long time, also made an exception to participate in the two-day conference and communicate face-to-face with Taiwanese developers, which is expected to bring countless surprises.

The conference focuses on the forefront of Ethereum technology, and speakers from all over the world gather in Taipei

The official conference of ETHTaipei 2025 will last for two days and will be held on April 1 and April 2. Many heavyweight speakers have been invited, among which the most eye-catching one is Vitalik Buterin, who will be on site to deliver a keynote speech and participate in multiple discussions to share his insights on the latest technological developments in the Ethereum ecosystem. Although Vitalik has kept the topic of his speech confidential, only revealing that "it will be a surprise", it is enough to arouse high expectations in the industry.

The main agenda of this conference is divided into two major thematic tracks: "Decentralized Finance (DeFi)" and "Protocol Technology (Protocol)". More than 40 experts from internationally renowned teams such as the Ethereum Foundation, Arbitrum, Zircuit, Uniswap, Polygon, etc. will bring in-depth sharing on multiple topics including RWA (Real World Assets), information security, blockchain privacy, AA Wallet (smart contract wallet), ZK (zero knowledge), MEV and Layer 2 expansion solutions.

In addition, many technical workshops will also be arranged for on-site practice, allowing participants to learn Ethereum blockchain technology from scratch, practice on-site, and create exclusive innovative projects. There are also many sponsors (such as Portus, imToken, Teahouse, Zircuit, Appworks, Morph, etc.) on site to provide rich gifts and booth displays, plus a number of side events and social gatherings, providing a diverse exchange platform for Taiwan's local and international Ethereum communities.

Holding hands with ETHGlobal to hold a hackathon, the scale and influence have doubled

To further expand international participation, this year ETHTaipei cooperated with ETHGlobal, a well-known event team in the Ethereum ecosystem, for the first time. The ETHGlobal Taipei hackathon will be held from April 4 to 6, right after the ETHTaipei conference.

“Our partnership with ETHTaipei is a testament to our commitment to blockchain talent in Asia,” said Kartik Talwar, co-founder of ETHGlobal. “Taipei has a vibrant developer ecosystem and we look forward to seeing innovative projects emerge from the hackathon that have the potential to solve current challenges in the blockchain space.”

With ETHGlobal’s influence in the global Ethereum developer community, the hackathon is expected to bring together hundreds of top developers from around the world to create innovative projects for the blockchain ecosystem. The organizers are offering a prize pool of up to $150,000 to incentivize innovative teams, with topics covering cutting-edge fields such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), artificial intelligence (AI), decentralized finance (DeFi), Layer 2 scaling, privacy and security. By joining hands with ETHGlobal, ETHTaipei 2025 will become an international blockchain event that combines conferences and hackathons, enhancing Taiwan’s position and visibility in the Ethereum development landscape.
