We are evolving how we build ethereum.org. Since January 20, we have adopted Shape Up Cycles – targeted 6-week build periods followed by 2-week cooldowns. For cycle 1, each project below will ship by the end of February – no automatic carryover to the next cycle.
Small point of clarification: This is the cycle roadmap for the ethereum.org website, not for the Ethereum protocol.
We will ship the following projects by the end of February in our first cycle:
Main improvements to Ethereum.org
Interactive roadmap 🛣️
Manufacturing Vitalik’s Ethereum Roadmap more beginner-friendly and interactive, helping newcomers understand the evolution and future of Ethereum.
Listen to learn 🎧
Implemented audio features for key pages, allowing users to listen to articles instead of reading them.
Web3 implementation 🔗
Adding native Web3 features to ethereum.org for the first time: wallet connections and direct integration with dapps.
Dashboard Hub 📊
Create a central location for essential Ethereum tracking tools and community resources. Join our Discord to suggest dashboards that you think should be included!
Content Updates 📚
Refreshing existing content
One of our highest priorities is ensuring our documentation stays up to date with Ethereum’s rapid evolution. We are carrying out a complete update of the existing content on the site.
New educational content
Work with freelance writers to expand our educational resources and fill content gaps.

Translation quality 🌍
Implement new systems to improve and maintain the quality of translations in all languages.
Non-English experience 🌐
Explore ways to improve the experience for non-English speaking users beyond translations. This could include better feedback systems, user interface improvements, or changes to content organization. We will test different approaches during this cycle.
Migrating UI Components 💨
Work with an existing community contributor to completely migrate Chakra UI components to Shadcn by end of cycle.
Application Router Migration ⚡
Implemented server components to improve performance and loading times.

Project support 🎨
- Robust Incentives Group (RIG): Support EF’s research team on branding, web design and development.
- Geodework project: branding and website design (more details soon!)
Engagement on social media 📱
Starting a more active presence on the platforms to better interact with the Ethereum community. Initial objective:
- More regular updates on our work and progress
- Highlight community contributions
- Share educational content
- Establish deeper connections with the ecosystem
Distribute acknowledgments to 2024 notable contributors
Looking to the future
Once Cycle 1 is completed in February, we will take a 2-week cool-down period to reflect on our deliverables and plan for the next cycle. We’ll post an update during cooldown to share what we’ve delivered and what we’ve learned!
