Devcon 8 India

At its core, Devcon is grounded in a set of properties: 

. Everything is designed to support technology that remains open, verifiable, and resilient.

Whether you're an open-source contributor who champions collective ownership, an advocate fighting for digital privacy and peer-to-peer freedom, a researcher exploring fairer economic models, or someone who builds tools because they should belong to everyone, there is a place for you at Devcon.

Ethereum isn't merely a technical solution, but a community. While blockchain communities in Europe and North America are already strong and vivid, we can have a big impact today in newly developing communities.

We're always striving to improve Devcon for everyone, and we love dogfooding Ethereum projects. 

Devcon is an annual global event organized by the Ethereum Foundation; a space to dive into open-source technology, meet the communities behind it, and explore the ideas defining the future of open technology

About

India has one of the world's most extraordinary concentrations of engineering talent, and one of its fastest-growing open-source communities.

The work happening here is not peripheral to Ethereum's development. Infrastructure, ZK identity systems, and coordination layers built in India power Ethereum globally.

India is the home of engineers who didn't wait for permission, in a country that leapfrogged the entire technological generation. 

Building at scale creates innovation at scale

Devcon isn't coming to Mumbai to introduce Ethereum to India. Devcon 8 is in Mumbai to recognize and champion what India is already building.

Shape the next generation of Ethereum builders at your campus and bring your community to Devcon in Mumbai this November.

Ticket support is intended to <strong>enable participation at Devcon</strong>, reward meaningful contributions, and support initiatives with clear ecosystem impact.

Ticket options unlock on different dates and have limited spots per round. Please check availability and release dates.

The Supporters Program is how teams across the ecosystem contribute to Devcon

More than a sponsorship. An invitation to participate.

Some of the most important work doesn't have a budget – across Ethereum and beyond. Impact Booths are free booth spaces reserved for these teams. The Impact Program offers two ways to participate:

Free and open source. Public goods. Non-profits.

 A free physical booth space at Devcon for FOSS projects and non-profits contributing to Ethereum's public infrastructure.

 Digital presence on Devcon's platforms and a set of tickets to attend, for aligned entities.

Supporters Program

The Supporters Program is how ecosystem projects contribute to Devcon and participate in it.

 – present in the space, visible to the community, and recognized alongside the projects that make Devcon possible. Instead of a traditional sponsorship, this is an opportunity to give back to the ecosystem and be part of the conference.

Projects building on or for Ethereum that share the principles outlined in the 

Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy,

In this edition, we are prioritizing projects that are aligned with 

. If your project shares these principles, we'd love to hear from you.

Supporter teams are part of the event. They're in the space, engaging with attendees, and recognized as the projects that make Devcon possible.

Be present, not just listed

Join people who care about the same things you do; open systems, privacy, and the long-term health of shared infrastructure.

Community of shared principles

Devcon exists to serve the ecosystem, not extract from it. Supporting is a way to put resources behind the things the community actually cares about.

Put your principles into practice
