The ETHShanghai 2023 Summit and Hackathon (ethshanghai.org) will be held from June 25 to July 7. This year's ETHShanghai is co-organized by core members including Mask Network, THUBA Tsinghua Blockchain Association, ChainIDE, and Moonshot Commons.

ETHShanghai is an initiative by Mask Network aimed at promoting the Ethereum network, hoping to attract more developers to join the Ethereum and Web3 community. At the ETHShanghai 2022 summit, many guests, including former U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, and ConsenSys founder and CEO Joseph Lubin, delivered speeches. The concurrent hackathon attracted nearly 1,000 participants and over 200 project submissions.

In the past year, Ethereum completed the Shanghai upgrade, further enhancing its performance and scalability; AI technology has developed significantly, providing intelligent support for decentralized applications; the Web3 concept has become more familiar to users, and decentralized applications are continuously changing people's perceptions and usage of the internet, receiving more legislative attention. To this end, we will gather renowned experts, technical leaders, and industry practitioners to discuss key topics such as the potential of Ethereum, the expansion of decentralized applications, and the opportunities and challenges ahead.

The ETHShanghai 2023 Hackathon will take place from June 25 to July 7, and registration is still open. Join us.

In this hackathon, we hope to gather a more diverse group of developers, designers, and entrepreneurs, providing them with a platform for free innovation to jointly promote the technological development and progress of the Ethereum community.

This hackathon will set up five specific tracks around Ethereum and current hot topics:

• ETH Infra: Focused on projects developed on the Ethereum platform, promoting the development of new tools and services to support the Ethereum ecosystem.

• Layer2: Participants will delve into Layer2 solutions, aiming to improve Ethereum's scalability and transaction speed without compromising decentralization.

• Applications: Developers will brainstorm, design, and develop practical applications built on Ethereum, turning innovative ideas into real-world solutions.

• AI and Blockchain: Exploring the organic combination of AI and blockchain, developing applications that leverage the combined advantages of these two cutting-edge technologies.

• Development Tools: Creating and refining tools to simplify and enhance the Ethereum and blockchain development process.

This year, approximately 1,500 developers are expected to participate online in the hackathon, hoping to ignite the imagination of developers and jointly advance innovation and breakthroughs in Ethereum and the broader Web3 ecosystem.

ETHShanghai 2023 Summit

The ETHShanghai 2023 Summit will take place from June 29 to 30, focusing on the open-source technology ecosystem of Ethereum, addressing various technical themes such as underlying blockchain infrastructure, decentralized storage, on-chain data processing, Layer2, zero-knowledge proof technology, developer tools, and the integration of Web3 and AI, engaging in in-depth discussions on topics like the Web3 digital economy and the future of decentralized social networks among Asian Web3 developers.

Against the backdrop of shifting global economic policies and Hong Kong's gradual introduction of regulatory laws for the Web3 industry, we have invited renowned American investor Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller "Bull Market in China: Profiting from Investing in the World's Largest Market," who will discuss the position and potential of the Asian Web3 industry in the global economic landscape with Mask Network founder Suji Yan; Professor Wang Yang, Vice President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, will analyze the opportunities and challenges in the market applications of the Web3 industry; and Mr. Qiu Dageng, President of the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, will analyze Hong Kong's advantages as an international financial center and how it can integrate with Web3 technology.

In the Ethereum ecosystem, Tim Beiko from the Ethereum Foundation will be one of the key guests to address the conference. As a core developer and community manager of Ethereum, Tim Beiko has extensive experience and insights into Ethereum's technology and community development, providing attendees with an in-depth understanding of the Ethereum ecosystem. Additionally, Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of Near, and Sam Williams, co-founder of Arweave, will also deliver keynote speeches.

ETHShanghai is committed to promoting the Ethereum network, which will gain wider recognition and application, attracting more developers to join the Web3 community to jointly advance the construction of a decentralized internet, achieving a more open, transparent, and secure digital world.

Stay tuned for the ETHShanghai 2023 Summit.
