The urbe.eth Manifesto 2.0 📜

Urbe.eth is a community of builders and a non-profit association, formally established in Rome in April 2023.

It started in Rome around a simple idea: people interested in Ethereum and emerging technologies need places where they can meet, learn, build, and collaborate together.

Over the years, that idea became a real community. Today urbe.eth brings together developers, founders, researchers, designers, lawyers, students, and technology enthusiasts who share a common curiosity: understanding how technology is transforming society and helping shape that transformation for the better.

Ethereum remains at the center of our story. It introduced many of us to ideas such as decentralization, self-sovereignty, and programmable coordination.

But the questions that brought us together have grown larger than any single technology.

Today, we are equally interested in the broader ecosystem of technologies redefining how humans create, communicate, and organize: open-source artificial intelligence, cryptography, decentralized systems, and other frontier technologies that expand human capabilities while preserving individual freedom.

In February 2025, the community found a physical home in the Urbe Hub in Testaccio, Rome, the first space in Italy dedicated to frontier technologies and open technological research.

. @tether is coming to Rome with the QVAC team, looking for talent.

On June 30 the QVAC team, Tether's local-first AI stack, will spend an afternoon at Urbe Hub to meet the best engineers in Italy.

It starts with a technical workshop, then a hands-on session. Little theory, a lot of practice: a chance to build together with the QVAC team and explore everything their product can do.

Up to 30 spots, by selection: we're looking for the best builders in Italy. Applications are reviewed directly by the QVAC team, who are always looking for new talent to grow their team.

📅 Tuesday, June 30
📍 Urbe Hub, Rome
🕝 From 2:30 PM

@antirez A Roma il 30 giugno affronteremo questi temi di AI e geopolitica, come si stanno muovendo USA e Cina, come si dovrebbe muovere l'UE, ecc.

Sarebbe bello averti con noi!

Who controls AI controls the next decade.

June 30 at Urbe Hub: an open forum on the new global AI race, from chips to data centers to frontier models.

Open source vs proprietary. US, China, Europe. Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen vs OpenAI, Anthropic, Google.

A forum, not a panel. Aperitivo after.

Rome, 6pm. Link below 👇 🐺

3/ Post-Quantum Ethereum by @tcoratger

Quantum computers could eventually break much of the cryptography used across the internet today, including Ethereum.

In this talk, Thomas Coratger explains why blockchains are especially exposed to this risk and how the Ethereum ecosystem is preparing for a post-quantum future.

[urbe.eth 🐺 @urbeEth]

The @ethereumfndn research into post-quantum cryptography is becoming increasingly relevant.

🎥These two talks from the Post-Quantum Meetup held in Rome on May 8 provide a great look into the challenges, research, and implementation efforts already underway.

💾😂 It’s actually wild that Gen Z has never experienced the pure serotonin of watching MS-DOS DEFRAG do its little block dance.

Your 4GB 386 is choking on life? Just run DEFRAG and stare at it like it’s 1993 Netflix.

Don’t fight the hypnosis… become one with the pixels.😵‍💫

The Ethereum Foundation dAI team supports Urbe Hub, Italy's official Ethereum Community Hub.

Urbe Hub is the meeting point between AI and Web3: a physical space in Rome where builders, researchers, and the curious come together to build on the convergence between these two frontiers.

With the support of the Ethereum Foundation dAI team, we'll keep building this here, in our city.

[urbe.eth 🐺 @urbeEth]

Last Friday, @VitalikButerin visited the Urbe Hub 🐺

We welcomed researchers from the Ethereum Foundation and a few external visitors for a full day of coworking focused on Ethereum’s post-quantum roadmap. Shoutout to @asanso as well for helping coordinate the day.

We opened the Urbe Hub a little over a year ago with a simple goal: to create a place where builders, researchers, and people passing through could sit together, work together, and exchange ideas.

Friday felt like a reminder of why we opened these doors in the first place. People helping shape Ethereum spent the day here doing exactly what this space was made for.

If you’re building frontier tech, whether in Web3, AI, or beyond, if you live in Rome, or if you’re just passing through, the Urbe Hub is here.

Come find us!

Thanks, Vitalik, for signing the @ETHRome logo ✍️

“Only together we are strong”

So true.

And today I feel truly stronger, because in that room yesterday (and in many other places around the world) we confirmed that we are not just a few, that we are united by deep ideals and values, and above all that our purpose is common.

Every day we are creating an alternative for a better future in this world.

Let’s stay together, let’s work together, let’s collaborate.

United in Privacy
