2024 was a great year for ethereum.organd as we already have our hands full with projects and initiatives for 2025, it is important to take a moment to celebrate the accomplishments made possible by the community over the past year.
With that in mind, we’ve put together a recap of our top highlights for 2024. We hope you enjoy reading it!
Blobs everywhere: launch of the Dencun FAQ
In 2023, we built a complete platform for the Ethereum protocol roadmap on ethereum.org. A few months later, in March 2024, the Cancun-Deneb (aka Dencun) the network upgrade has been deployed. As the questions started to flood in, it was time for us to create an FAQ style page to explain what the latest update was about.
Evolving Ethereum, one word at a time: ethereum.org Translatathon
The second edition of Ethereum.org Translation marathonthe annual translation competition aimed at increasing the amount of non-English Ethereum content, exceeded all expectations: in two weeks, 327 participants translated 2.53 million words, helping to make Ethereum-related content accessible in 70 languages . With the support of our global community, we also hosted 12 in-person translation centers across four continents.
The next edition of the Translatathon will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can find the summary of the 2024 edition here.
Better, faster and more powerful: migrating our UI library to ShadCN
After extensive work on improving website performance in 2023, we realized that our previous UI library was preventing us from delivering the best performance and user experience. Since ethereum.org receives visits from people all over the world, using a variety of devices and sometimes slower internet connections, we needed our user interface to work seamlessly for everyone.
Therefore, together with the community, we decided to migrate our UI library to ShadCN, which is based on Tailwind CSS, a well-known performance-oriented library widely used by developers.
While the migration is almost complete, you can follow the progress in our GitHub repository.
Meet: Devcon SEA
HAS Devcon MERethereum.org made a strong impression by exhibiting at the Impact Forum during the first two days of the event – we welcomed over 400 visitors and were able to share ethereum.org’s mission, while fostering connections within of the community. Around 200 merchandise items (including t-shirts, coloring books and postcards) were distributed to contributors, adding a fun and memorable touch.
Recognizing Outstanding Contributions: C**on Contributor Recognition Program
The Contributor Recognition Program is a year-long initiative within the ethereum.org community designed to recognize and reward members for their valuable contributions to the ethereum.org portal. In 2024, more than 800 proof of contribution badges have been distributed across four categories (GitHub, content, design and translations) on platforms such as POAP, GitPOAPAnd Galxé.
More L2? More L2 content!
In 2024, we released significant updates to the Layer 2 (L2) content available on ethereum.org, reflecting the importance of scaling solutions in the Ethereum ecosystem. The website has introduced a more comprehensive and beginner-friendly L2 section, including interactive guides, visuals and comparisons of popular L2 solutions.
A new look: redesign of the ethereum.org homepage
Over the past decade, ethereum.org has undergone many transformations, finally settling on the purple-blue pastel design you recognize from 2020. A homepage redesign was long overdue, and our goal was to continue to present what Ethereum is. , and highlighting how everyone can get involved.
Open source at heart: participating in Hacktoberfest 2024
In October, we partnered with Oktoberfesta global initiative to encourage contributions to open source projects. With over 40 PRs submitted, we can’t thank enough the 20 contributors who joined ethereum.org in this month-long effort, contributing on all fronts: content, design, migrations, and tons of bug fixes!
Ethereum jargon, translated: introduction to ETHGlossary
As part of the Translatathon, we created ETHGlossary– a platform that gamifies the process of translating Ethereum terms. Users can vote for the best translations for key concepts and discuss why certain translations work (or don’t). So far, we have received almost 7,000 translations in over 40 languages, confirming that ETHGlossary plays an important role in creating a comprehensive glossary of Ethereum terminology in all languages.
Connecting with the community: community calls, quality assurance sessions, and office hours
In 2024, we organized 38 events on ethereum.orgThe Discord server of. These ranged from office hours, where we simplified complex Ethereum topics for beginners, to monthly community calls, where we provided updates about the portal and ecosystem. We also organized bi-weekly question-and-answer sessions, during which contributors were able to concretely test the new versions of ethereum.org— it’s safe to say we spent a lot of time online last year!

A new home on the web: Next Billion and ETHproofs.org
In addition to maintaining ethereum.org, our core team also supports web development for various initiatives within the Ethereum Foundation. Over the past year, we have collaborated on the design and launch of new websites for the Next billion scholarship And ETHproofs—these collaborations reflect our commitment to supporting impactful initiatives across the community.
In 2025, we are changing the way we build ethereum.org. Starting in January, we’re adopting the Shape Up methodology, which consists of 8-week periods (“cycles”) focused on features and shipping initiatives. More information on this will be shared soon!
Although we will continue to develop annual product roadmaps, we will now publish “cycle roadmaps” on our GitHub repository:you can find what we will be working on in this first cycle here.
Our community remains an essential part of construction ethereum.org — you can check where to start contribute (e.g. writing or reviewing content, creating new designs, translating the website, developing new features or fixing bugs, and many other possibilities) in our contributor pages.
Thanks again to everyone involved in creating Ethereum.org. On the way to an excellent year 2025!
