ETHGlobal Tokyo 2026 is an in-person hackathon focused on building projects on Ethereum and related ecosystems. Over the weekend, participants form teams, attend workshops and technical talks, receive mentorship, and work intensively to ship a working prototype by the submission deadline. Projects often explore areas such as DeFi, infrastructure, identity, gaming, NFTs, and layer-2 scaling, with teams competing for sponsor prizes and potential follow-on support. The event also serves as a networking hub, connecting hackers with protocol teams, investors, and other ecosystem leaders.
The hackathon is aimed at Web3 developers, Web2 engineers curious about Ethereum, designers, product thinkers, and anyone interested in building decentralized applications or infrastructure. It is designed for both skilled Web3 developers and Web2 builders who want to enter the Ethereum space.
