About us
Ethereum is a platform and a programming language that makes it possible for any developer to build and publish next-generation decentralized applications. Ethereum can be used to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything: voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, company governance, contracts and agreements of most kind, intellectual property, and even smart property thanks to hardware integration. Ethereum borrows the concept of decentralized consensus that makes bitcoin so resilient, yet makes it trivial to build on its foundation. To find out more about how Ethereum works, consult the whitepaper. This page is managed and operated by members of the Ethereum Foundation.

𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 - 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈'𝐦 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 In a world dominated by centralized systems, the allure of open source technology and true decentralization has always fascinated me. Ethereum stands as a beacon in this space, a platform where code is open for anyone to inspect, contribute to, and build upon. It's not just about technology - it's about empowering individuals worldwide to participate in a trustless ecosystem, free from gatekeepers. Growing up, I was always fascinated by how systems - computers, networks, or even ideas, could evolve to solve complex problems. That fascination drew me to the blockchain world, right after Ethereum's Merge( https://lnkd.in/gBgUfmUh ) upgrade ignited my curiosity. I started exploring proof-of-stake mechanics and EVM internals, it quickly turned into hands-on creation and broader exposure into compilers, virtual machines, memory among others. Ethereum's roadmap became my guide: studying EIPs, account abstraction, rollups, data availability, and tackling challenges like stateless clients, verkle trees, fraud proofs. But it was the community's open-source spirit that truly hooked me, where decisions are made collaboratively, and diverse voices shape scaling and security. Inspired, I built projects on lending platforms and Uniswap v2 forks, then ventured into zero-knowledge proofs, crafting circuits in Circom and experimenting with zkVMs - being one of the early zk explorers. As Co-President of Blockchain Society IIT Delhi, I led initiatives to share knowledge through informal blockchain courses and zk bootcamps, fostering a sense of collective growth. Hackathons like ETHIndia connected me with fellow builders, leading to wins and explorations of modular architectures, shared sequencers, execution environments and interoperability. I later joined a team focused on shared sequencers which deepened my grasp of consensus, cryptography, and game theory, unifying rollup executions for a scalable Ethereum. Today, I see a future where global participation in block verification creates an unstoppable, innovative society. Ethereum isn't just a network - it's a movement. As I continue building, I'm reminded that decentralization starts with open source, and it thrives through persistent, ambitious action. This is my contribution to that vision, and I'm excited for what's next.

Ethereum is my guiding compass, keeping me aligned with strong, good values and facilitating the technical and human foundation for building lasting impact. I love seeing humans succeed, and I have always believed that anything is possible when we work together. Growing up in Curaçao, a small Caribbean island that used to be the largest per capita polluter in the world, I grew up fantasizing about how we could transform this big refinery. At 18, I left for the Netherlands to study Business and Philosophy, and one year later, in 2016, I was introduced to crypto by one of my cousins. I was hooked instantly by Ethereum’s potential to be used as a coordination tool, and I spent the next 9 years of my life discovering and building solutions that harness this capacity for good. Throughout the years, Ethereum’s capacity—and with that, the potential it can have on the world—evolved, and so did my priorities. After a journey across 8 DAOs, 2 funds, and nearly 15 products created, I moved back to Curaçao 3 months ago to consolidate my experience and efforts to accelerate my commitment to help Ethereum and the world win: With EcoLabs, our for-purpose venture builder, we work with the most dedicated teams in the ecosystem, including Optimism Foundation, Celo Public Goods, Gitcoin, and Lisk, to realize lasting ecosystem impact. With For The World, we’re building resources and leading programs to solve the world's biggest problems by accelerating open innovation on its ledger: Ethereum. With Kolektivo’s Onchain Island initiative, we’re transforming #Curaçao into a digital asset and onchain innovation hub for the LATAM and Caribbean region. With recent (geo)political tensions, good values and collaboration are even more important. Ethereum represents the values that are required to build lasting impact. If Ethereum wins, the world will win.

Hi! My name is Warren, and I’m a 16-year-old builder on Ethereum. The first thing people usually notice about me is my name, Warren. The name was inspired by Warren Buffett. While the name hasn’t given me generational wealth (at least not so far), it has given me curiosity. When I learned that Buffett bought his first stock at 11, I wanted to beat that record and bought my first stock at 9. After that first trade, I wanted to be the best finance kid out there. I spent hours studying earnings reports, market news, and financial indicators. I remember being a 9-year-old in webinars filled with 50-year-old stock analysts, scribbling notes and trying to keep up. That was my entry into the world of finance. After seeing my interest in financial systems, my sister introduced me to crypto a few years later. She explained it was not just a new form of money but a completely different kind of financial and technological system. What intrigued me most was its flexibility: the ability to build permissionless applications, create new types of value exchange, and design systems that anyone with a device could access. At 13, I visited ETHCC Paris and was struck by the energy of the builders and the scale of the community. Even though I was still skeptical of crypto’s viability, that experience left a lasting impression. This past summer, I wanted to explore further and build in new spaces. I saw an opportunity to hack at ETHGlobal Cannes, so I booked a flight, called a friend, and went. I had only learned Solidity a week earlier, but I joined an incredible team that was the only one working on hardware. Together, we built ChromaMind: light therapy glasses that could adjust to different scenarios, such as meditation or a rave, while using the chain to facilitate a marketplace for selling various experiences. At 15, I became a finalist in Cannes and presented ChromaMind on stage. Now, I am still exploring the Web3 space and most recently found an interest in ZK, ZKML, and De-Fi. Outside of Ethereum, I am building an autonomous drone for wildfire intervention. I believe Ethereum is the most powerful foundation for decentralized innovation, not just because of its infrastructure, but because of its community and its culture of open experimentation. My journey, from buying my first stock at 9 to building ChromaMind and exploring ZK systems, reflects what Ethereum enables: the freedom to experiment, to connect, and to build something that can grow beyond what any one person could imagine alone. Thank you, Ethereum Foundation, for sharing my story.

Every meme, every blurry photo, every pirated MP3 that shaped a generation. None of it came from platforms. It came from us. It was messy, human, alive. My name is Danny. I grew up in a troubled household. The internet became my refuge. I built worlds in Minecraft, wandered forums, and laughed at YouTube skits until they felt like home. Back then, it felt magical, raw, unpredictable, alive. What amazed me wasn’t the polish, but the people. Ordinary people making culture out of nothing. Slowly that spirit faded. Platforms hardened into silos. Algorithms decided what mattered. The internet stopped feeling like ours. Ethereum gave me a way back. At first it was survival. My first access to the global economy without permission. But soon it became something else. Romantic, even. The vision of the world computer. The infinite garden. The belief that the internet could be borderless and open. Before I knew it I became a builder. I built and failed. I succeeded and got lucky. I learned. And I kept going, from growing up in Malaysia, to studying in the UK, and now building product in the US. I found myself in the Ethereum community in Malaysia, ETHKL. ETHKL grew from small meetups into the country’s first and largest blockchain conference, which I organized. Today I’m building Jpeg.fun, a social game inspired by the chaotic creativity of the early internet. Every day there’s a theme. You take a photo, your friends take theirs, and together it becomes a shared daily story. Ethereum runs quietly in the background, making sure the people who create are the ones who are fairly rewarded. Ethereum isn’t just a tool. It’s an ethos. It reminded me that the internet belongs to the people who make it. JPEG is my contribution to that fight. A step toward an open and equitable internet.

A guest post by Letícia Pires Founder of Pomodoki --- From Civil Engineering to Web3: My Journey Building on Ethereum I first studied Civil Engineering, but even then my real passion was teaching. During university, I spent hours tutoring math and statistics and mentoring classmates. That’s when I realized something important: most people don’t give up on learning because they can’t do it, but because they don’t have the right support and incentives to keep going. In 2020, I made a big shift into tech — a field where I finally found the mix of problem-solving, creativity, and innovation I was looking for. I dove into data science, cloud, and machine learning, while never letting go of teaching and creating learning experiences. My Web3 journey started earlier this year through bootcamps and courses, and quickly took off at ETHGlobal Prague. That’s where Pomodoki was born — a community-driven project to help people stay focused and grow. Blockchain was a revelation to me. It showed that education doesn’t need to be centralized or rigid — it can be open, accessible, and empowering. Incentives can turn into actions, actions into habits, and habits into learning. Since Prague, it’s been a lot of building, scrapping, and rebuilding. But the best part has been seeing students and professionals actually use Pomodoki to stay on track. That moment revealed to me what Ethereum can really be: fertile soil for bold, human-centered ideas. For me, blockchain isn’t just about technology. It’s about self-improvement, community, and ownership. And I’m here for the long run — building tools that make education more engaging, accessible, and truly empowering.
