This past week, our members flew out to @EthereumDenver 2026.

We connected with founders, VCs, developers, and operators building the future of crypto.

Huge thanks to @polymarket and @standwithcrypto for making this trip possible!

#EthDenver

[Gilberto @gilbert787]

Back home after a week surrounded by some of the most talented visionaries in blockchain, crypto, and internet capital markets.

It was my 1st Eth Denver, and after seeing some FUD in the timeline I will give my thoughts, and put those to rest.

First, I can’t compare this year to any other.
(Read above), but I could compare it to other conferences or summits, and each has its purpose .

This year’s ETH Denver had more college student representation than any previous years. Guaranteed (with a Charles Barkley 🏀 voice). The next gen, the ones who will make ethereum better . NO BIG DEAL.

@BoilerChain showed up with a gang
@cublockchain_ was there !
@blockchainatumd represented the DMV
@Web3DC @Web3Maryland
And Many other @college_xyz member schools were there.

@standwithcrypto chapter president were there. Helping founders get highlighted in their states, offering support !

The ecosystem grows, even if it visually doesn’t reflect that. We are expanding from building innovative blockchain tech to adoption of these.

If you want to build bridges, relationships, explore co founding opportunities, this was your opportunity. Less noise , more focus.

If there is something I regret it’s seeing @coin_artist at a short distance and not coming over to introduce myself .. got chickened out . hi 👋

The industry grows and matures, expect an even a larger number of curious builders next year. First timers , just like me.

Next year, I’ll be there,!

Great job @EthereumDenver

Students should be among the earliest adopters of Web3. But, currently, they’re not using the tech in the numbers we might expect, says @BSturisky, research analyst at @Delphi_Digital and president of @GatorBlockchain.

Here's how to fix that.
