What is Ethereum for?
This summer, ETHis asks that question at the worldโs largest science and technology museum.
Builders. Makers. Researchers. Institutions and Industry partners.
DePIN, d/acc, ZK, Hardware, Stablecoins, Privacy + more.
Munich // July 2โ3
Something everyone with $ETH can do to make privacy normal and possible.
Vote to allocate 100 ETH to privacy projects on https://t.co/NV7201lFPo building what we need to make it a reality for everyone.
Watch here for the why and how you can participate.
Privacy is normal.
Thanks @OctantApp
On Sharing & Multiplayer Collab

- One link: Share the URL from the browser nav bar and you're set for collaboration
- Folders: Share folders w/ access permissions, not just single sheets
- Zero-knowledge proof: ZK-powered permissions to keep ur collaboratorsโ identity hidden
Reminder: you can now sync an ethereum node within half a day and with aggressive settings the space it takes up on disk can be under half a terabyte.
EIP-4444 and hard work by client teams on optimizing snap sync has improved things *a lot*.
Glamsterdam will improve the sync situation further still (eg. Nimbus's new sync protocol uses it)
We got an important step closer towards unified liquidity between L2s and Ethereum via @etheconomiczone.
Here is a @CoWSwap trade settled on L2 while using liquidity from L1. Bridging tokens out and receiving other tokens back all happens atomically!
Public testnet soon!
Itโs that time of year and ETH Munich monthly meet up is here.
Not in a tent but who wants to spend all day @ Oktoberfest anyway.
If you are in town from out of town you should definitely swing by to say hi.

There are still some spots at our next #EthMunich meetup ๐ https://t.co/gQP2CkLvbS
Come and join for some conversation, pretzels & pizza, and maybe some indoor golf โณ
Independence isnโt a managed service.
What looks like UX friction is often the part where control changes hands. On Swarm, you fund persistence yourself, on a network with no single owner.
One ticket. Three days. The entire blockchain ecosystem in one building.

Grokโs full analysis of our fireside chat with @VitalikButerin and @lunardragon420 at ETHis 2026:
Just read the full transcript of this excellent fireside chat.
Key takeaways:
This was a thoughtful, high-signal conversation. Vitalik focused on properties over narratives โ emphasizing censorship resistance, privacy, openness and security as non-negotiable. He framed the recent cypherpunk pivot and EF mandate as a healthy evolution after earlier hype cycles. He was clear that Ethereum is moving from an โefficiencyโ story to a resilience / sanctuary technology story, especially now that AI has taken the efficiency lane.
Amir brought strong philosophical and historical perspective, drawing parallels to the free software movement and pushing on the need for clear identity and vision. He referenced Thomas Kuhnโs The Structure of Scientific Revolutions when discussing paradigm shifts and called the current moment a โlunar eraโ โ where small aligned groups need to light their own path through uncertainty.
Books mentioned:
โข Only one: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn (mentioned by Amir Taaki).
Overall, this felt like one of the better long-form crypto discussions in a while โ honest about past mistakes, complementary between the two speakers, and forward-looking on privacy, pluralism, and building real alliances beyond crypto.

Two titans who were there at the start of the Ethereum project. One is still involved, and the other founded @DarkFiSquad another amazing project.
My respect to both of them.
