2025 is the tenth year since the Ethereum mainnet went online. In ten years, it has grown from an initial experimental project to the world's most influential blockchain infrastructure, providing solid underlying support for innovations such as smart contracts, DeFi, NFT, and DAO, and allowing decentralized technology to truly enter the global stage. Every upgrade of Ethereum continues to reshape the boundaries of the industry:
 Standing at a new starting point of its tenth anniversary, Ethereum is moving forward with unprecedented momentum. The influx of institutional investors, the potential demand for spot ETFs, and the foundation’s newly released EcoDev strategic blueprint will together inject impetus into the development of the next decade. The Ethereum Foundation will promote developer growth, project incubation and global cooperation through the four major directions of "ecological acceleration, amplification, support and long-term guidance", and is committed to making it the digital infrastructure of the global society. 🎉 In October 2025, the highly anticipated ETHShanghai 2025 will return again! As one of the most influential Ethereum events in the Asia-Pacific region, the fourth ETHShanghai will be held in Shanghai from October 18th to 22nd, with the theme of “Scaling Ethereum, Shaping the Open Future”.  This event is jointly hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab, ETHPanda, PANews, and TinTinLand, and is held concurrently and in the same city as the annual Wanxiang Blockchain Global Summit. The five-day in-depth sharing, workshops, hackathon and summit will bring together the creativity of global developers and promote the rapid implementation of innovative projects. The hackathon has a total prize pool of up to $15,000 and has three cutting-edge tracks: AI × ETH, DeFi × Infra, and public goods × open source construction, encouraging participants to make breakthroughs at the forefront of technology and applications. 💡 Join the ETHShanghai 2025 Hackathon and ignite the next decade of ETH! 👉 Hackathon registration channel: https://luma.com/n2gwlgkx PART.01Hackathon Information Overview 📅 Time: October 18-21, 2025 📍 Location: Shanghai, China 💰 Prize pool: $15,000 🗓️ Time schedule

Picture: ETHShanghai 2024 PART.02Tracks and rewards 🏃 Three cutting-edge tracks 🧠 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. 🏛️ DeFi x Infra 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.  ✨ Reward settings 💰 Total hackathon prize pool: $15,000
