This year we have ETHPrague Tracks and ad hoc Bounties.
Judges will select 1 winner for each track and 1 winner for each bounty.
Advancing Ethereum’s foundational infrastructure for a faster, safer, and more scalable network. Build practical tools and prototypes that directly improve Ethereum’s usability and security.
Imagine creating solutions that empower millions of users to interact with Ethereum more efficiently, securely, and transparently. Whether it’s reducing transaction costs, enhancing privacy, or strengthening wallet defenses, your innovations can make Ethereum faster, safer, and more accessible for everyone.
Example: Build a lightweight Layer 2 rollup state inspector that lets users verify transaction validity on-chain quickly and trustlessly.
Innovate next-generation privacy, identity, and on-chain economic solutions putting user control first. Focus on building robust applications that solve real economic and privacy challenges in a decentralized way.
Step into the challenge of redefining how users manage their digital identities and assets with complete autonomy and privacy. Your innovations can create seamless, secure experiences that eliminate central points of failure and protect sensitive data while enabling real-world economic interactions on-chain.
Example: Create a privacy-first zk identity wallet enabling selective, verifiable claim sharing with zero-knowledge proofs that put user privacy first.
Explore Ethereum’s potential to create sustainable, ethical, and inclusive social impact. Build tools that empower communities with privacy-respecting, transparent, and fair resource management and governance.
Take on the opportunity to harness blockchain technology for positive change. Design solutions that promote fairness, trust, and accountability in how communities manage resources and make decisions. Your work can shape a more equitable future where everyone’s voice is heard and privacy is respected.
Example: Build a zk-oracle that verifies encrypted, real-time IoT sensor data on urban air and water quality to trigger automated, transparent community funding for pollution reduction and health interventions.
