01 Why is ETHShanghai? Every evolution of Ethereum redefines the boundaries of the blockchain: The Merge (2022): Energy transformation, moving towards a sustainable future Shapella (2023): Release liquidity, promote inclusive participation in the network


01

Why ETHShanghai?

Every evolution of Ethereum redefines the boundaries of blockchain:

  • The Merge (2022): Energy transition towards a sustainable future

  • Shapella (2023): Unleash liquidity and promote inclusive participation in the network

  • Dencun (2024): EIP-4844, allowing L2 costs to plummet and igniting an application explosion

  • Pectra (2025): Reshaping scalability, interactive experience and staking mechanism

Now, Ethereum is not only the cornerstone of the blockchain, but also the experimental ground for the new generation of Internet.

ETHShanghai Hackathon 2025 will be the Builder stage in this wave of innovation, igniting the next decade.

Main Tracks Design

🧠 AI×ETH

AI is no longer just an assistant outside the chain, but has gradually evolved into a "native participant" on the chain.

With the development of smart contract automation, on-chain governance and transaction agents, and AI-driven risk control and stability mechanisms, AI is reshaping Ethereum's interaction methods and productivity paradigm.

👉 In this track, you will explore the deep integration of AI and Ethereum, making intelligent agents the key nodes of the on-chain economy, and comprehensively upgrade from protocol logic to user experience.

🏛️ DeFixInfra

The future of finance is being reconstructed on the chain.

With the accelerated implementation of RWA and stablecoins, DeFi is moving towards both scale and compliance.

From cross-chain and interoperability to the rapid evolution of modular infrastructure such as EIP-4844, Rollup, and ZK, the expansion of Ethereum at the L1/L2 level and the optimization of user experience are gradually becoming the core driving force for industry upgrading.

👉 In this track, you will focus on the new generation of DeFi infrastructure, build a safe, intelligent, and scalable financial network, and open a new bridge for global liquidity.

🌍 Public goods x open source construction

The future of Ethereum depends on the spirit of public goods and open source.

From the continuous investment in public goods to the collaborative co-creation of open source construction, the Ethereum ecosystem is constantly consolidating infrastructure and community trust, and promoting the value consensus of long-termism and sustainable development.

👉 Here, you will build the underlying building blocks that benefit the entire ecosystem, taking open finance and open society a step further.
