ETHiopia: Africa’s Builder Focused Blockchain Event
ETHiopia is the crypto event redefining the humans behind Africa’s web3 ecosystem. Taking place from January 21 to February 21, 2025, this month-long pop-up city in Addis Ababa is a hands-on, builder-focused event, designed to create tangible outcomes and lasting connections in Web3.
What makes ETHiopia unique?
- Builder Residency: Fifty of Africa’s top developers, united to create real-world solutions, backed by mentorship, weekly demos, and milestone-based funding thanks to the Mantle Ecosystem.
- Hackathon Week: The first Ethereum-focused hackathon in the country from February 10th-14th, bringing 350+ developers together to build impactful blockchain projects.
- Global Conference: A gathering of leading voices in blockchain, smart cities, network states and AI, showcasing how the Ethereum ecosystem can drive innovation across Africa.
Why Addis Ababa? Ethiopia is a strategic gateway for Africa, with a growing developer community and government support for tech innovation. ETHiopia leverages this foundation to position the country as a long-term hub for blockchain development across the continent.
Unlike other events, ETHiopia emphasizes action over talk. From ideation to implementation, this is where projects are built, tested, and scaled and community is formed. Attendees can expect a collaborative environment where blockchain meets real-world challenges and opportunities.
