Our manifesto
"Belgrade, in fact is not a city ā itās a metaphor, a way of life, a way of thinking."
ETH Belgrade calling
ETH Belgrade is a playground for exploring Ethereum possibilities. As part of Belgrade Blockchain Week, this three-day conference gathers extraordinary minds and Ethereum enthusiasts to share knowledge and spark ideas that will ignite the whole ecosystem. And whatās best, as soon as the conference ends, the āafter partyā begins - the ETH Belgrade Hackathon, which will gather brilliant minds in three days of non-stop action.
Why Belgrade?
The past and future have been flirting in Belgrade for centuries. Located where the Danube hugs Sava and the East clashes with the West, the city blends different cultures to create eclectic charm. Authentic, vibrant, and sometimes chaotic, Belgrade is built upon tradition, cosmopolitan spirit, and booming technologies.
Belgrade is home to 50+ Web3 companies creating a fruitful and fast-expanding local community. Many OGs, buidlers, and heavyweights like Polygon, Tenderly, and DeFi Saver, were born and raised in the city. But ā one thing is for sure ā they are not the last Web3 Belgraders youāll hear about.
The brightest Web3 minds
