- The event will coincide with Warsaw Blockchain Week, the largest blockchain gathering in Poland for the second year in a row.
- Amid bull market hype, conference highlights importance of responsible innovation and building
- 48-Hour Hackathon Offers $50,000 in Prizes to Pioneering Blockchain Solutions
ETHWarsaw, a web3 conference and hackathon organized by Ethereum enthusiasts, returns for its highly anticipated third edition. Scheduled for September 5-8, 2024 in Warsaw, Poland, the event will once again bring together a global community of builders, founders, and educators in the web3 space.
Building on the success of previous years, ETHWarsaw 2023 attracted over 1,000 attendees and hosted over 200 hackers competing for nearly $70,000 in prizes. The event also featured Warsaw Blockchain Week, Poland’s largest blockchain gathering, and EthWarsawVC, a one-day program connecting venture capital funds with promising blockchain projects. Thanks to strong community support, both events will return for the 2024 edition.
“After two successful editions, we have found a formula that works and grows organically each year. That is why we are keeping the same format and limiting the audience size, especially as recent feedback suggests that quality can decrease as the size of events increases,” said Paulina Joskow, co-founder of ETHWarsaw.
She added: “That said, the third edition will bring some changes. With the potential arrival of a bull market, we anticipate rapid growth, attracting significant investors, customers and capital. However, this also carries the risk of substandard products and scams. It is essential to differentiate between good and bad, understand the risks and always build responsibly. This is the main message we want to highlight at this year’s conference.”
Monika Zajac, co-founder of ETHWarsaw, added: “We also want to challenge the stereotype that only developers and ‘crypto-bros’ are interested in blockchain. Our goal is to showcase the diverse faces and backgrounds of the community and ultimately lower the barriers to entry. This includes highlighting efforts to simplify onboarding, clearly communicate product values, provide supportive infrastructure, and offer quality training to accelerate progress.”
ETHWarsaw is designed to meet the needs of seasoned professionals and newcomers to the web3 space, offering valuable insights to developers, non-technical talent, and students. The conference will feature two days of content, including talks, panels, and workshops, organized into four key tracks:
- Infrastructure and scalability — Explore different ways to build and scale blockchain networks to more efficiently handle more users and transactions. This includes innovations in blockchain layers, advanced data storage solutions, and integrating AI into blockchain technology.
- Security and resilience — The focus will be on how to ensure the security and privacy of blockchain systems. Topics covered will include the latest practices in cybersecurity, how different blockchain systems maintain trust, and the role of ethical hackers in identifying vulnerabilities.
- Innovations in decentralized finance (DeFi) — Dive into decentralized finance (DeFi) and related topics such as digital wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEX), and new ways to invest using blockchain. It also covers the legal and regulatory aspects of this evolving financial landscape.
- Mass adoption — Discussion on how to make blockchain and Web3 technologies more user-friendly and accessible to all. This track will cover user experience, community building, marketing in the Web3 space, and opportunities in the Web3 job market.
This year’s lineup includes notable names such as Marek Olszewski of Celo, Anastasia Melachrinos of Kaiko, Kevin Jones of BuidlGuidl and Omar Espejel of Starknet.
Following the conference, the nightly hackathon will kick off on Friday night, offering a 48-hour marathon of non-stop building. Teams and individuals will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge applications and advanced tools, with prizes totaling approximately $50,000.
Returning sponsors for ETHWarsaw 2024 include AlephZero, Golem, Arweave, Optimism, RedStone, Starknet, Celo, Query Network And Roll among others.
ETHWarsaw 2024 will be held in a new venue, Browary Warszawskie, located in Warsaw’s vibrant Wola district. Known for its mix of contemporary residential and office spaces, the area is also home to a thriving café and restaurant scene.
