ETHTaipei 2025 will be grandly held from April 1 to 6, 2025, at the Taipei Nangang Bottle Cap Factory. As the annual event for the Ethereum ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region, this event is led by ETHTaipei and collaborates with ETHGlobal for the first time, integrating a technology summit and a hackathon, aiming to explore the latest breakthroughs in Ethereum technology and accelerate collaborative innovation in the global developer ecosystem. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin will once again attend, bringing research insights and engaging deeply with developers.
Event Core: Technical Insights and Practical Frontiers
1. Technology Summit: Deconstructing the Future Blueprint of Ethereum
The ETHTaipei conference spans two days, offering two different themes: DeFi and Protocol. The DeFi theme delves into decentralized finance and security topics, while the Protocol theme explores various subjects, including clients, ZK proofs, and Layer 2.
DeFi and Protocol Themes
DeFi: DeFi is the core application area of the Ethereum ecosystem, with possible discussion topics including the dynamic fee structure of Ethereum DeFi 2.0 and risk management tools, such as how the hook mechanism of Uniswap V4 enhances liquidity efficiency, or how cross-chain DeFi protocols address asset management challenges.
- The integration of AI and blockchain is opening new possibilities for decentralized applications:
Possible discussion topics include how AI can verify model integrity on-chain through zkML, or exploring how on-chain AI reasoning can optimize DeFi strategies.
- Analyzing the potential impact of public goods on the Ethereum ecosystem:
Public goods are the cornerstone of sustainable development in the Ethereum ecosystem, such as the financing of open-source tools and infrastructure.
- Showcasing the dual application of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) in privacy computing and scalability:
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) provide security for off-chain computing, applicable in areas like Oracles and cross-chain bridges; the conference may discuss how Intel SGX or ARM TrustZone achieves trust minimization.
- Possible discussions on the latest optimizations of ZK-Rollups and the application of ZK-SNARKs in cross-chain bridges and anonymous transactions:
Privacy protection and security are key to the widespread adoption of blockchain applications, with potential sharing directions including the privacy model of Tornado Cash or how auditing tools from CertiK and OpenZeppelin enhance code security.
- The guest lineup includes core contributors from projects such as the Ethereum Foundation, Polygon, Hyperlane, Nethermind, Zircuit, and CoW Swap, who will provide technical insights supported by case studies.
2. Vitalik Buterin's Unique Perspective
Although the topic of Vitalik's speech has not yet been announced, based on recent research directions, the sharing may revolve around "the sustainability and scalability of Ethereum," such as an in-depth explanation of how Blob transactions reduce data costs for Layer 2, and the implications of quantum-resistant encryption for future blockchain security.
Technical Q&A: He will host an open Q&A session to discuss complex topics such as the centralization risks of Ethereum Rollups and staking economic models, providing firsthand authoritative answers.
3. ETHGlobal Taipei Hackathon: A Stage for Creation and Validation
Event Dates: April 4 to 6, 48 hours of continuous development;
Event Scale: Expected to attract 500 international developers, forming over 100 teams;
4. Ecological Connection: A Bridge Between Taiwan and the World
Event Highlights: Taiwanese developers will showcase their achievements in Layer 2 deployment and DeFi protocol optimization, highlighting their technological leadership in the Asia-Pacific blockchain ecosystem.
Through collaboration with ETHGlobal, ETHTaipei 2025 will build a multinational collaboration platform to promote project incubation, technology transfer, and investment matching.
Professionalism and Technology-Driven Manifestation
The in-depth technical details of the summit are not limited to theoretical discussions but focus on operability. For example, how to optimize proof generation time using ZK-STARKs, or how to enhance transaction throughput through calldata compression.
The lineup of top experts includes not only Vitalik but also Ethereum researcher Hsiao-Wei Wang, Nethermind scientist Jules Doumèche, and Hyperlane's Kunal Arora, who will share their experiences in research and practical development from the perspectives of judges, speakers, and mentors.
The high-standard project evaluation of the hackathon will be based on code auditability, innovation, and the feasibility of user scenarios, with winning teams having the opportunity to receive follow-up funding from the Ethereum Foundation and VCs.
ETHTaipei 2025 will center on technology, igniting innovative potential. From Vitalik's forward-looking insights to the practical outcomes of the hackathon, this is a feast of knowledge and an opportunity for you to connect annually with global Ethereum leaders, top projects, and the developer community—all at ETHTaipei.
