About The Event
Waterloo is not just another hackathon for us. The city near Toronto has been the stage for our humble beginnings and the birthplace of many ideas that would eventually become ETHGlobal.
ETHGlobal Waterloo is an event bringing together some of the top minds and experts in Ethereum Ecosystem to Waterloo. We enable teams to make something great in only 36 hours by providing an abundance of web3 resources like mentors, sponsors, and software. Sleeping is optional, but trying something new is not!
ETHGlobal events are focused on inviting builders (developers, designers, artists) who want to create or contribute to projects during the hackathon.
What to expect at the ETH Waterloo?
- Educational Workshops at the beginning to set you up for success at the hackathon
- $225,000 USD in prizes up for grabs
- Opening Keynote from Vitalik Buterin
- 24/7 mentorship and opportunities to connect with the ecosystem champions
- Delicious Food & Refreshments (not just pizza!) multiple times a day
We are wrapping up ETHGlobal Waterloo 2023 in style, with our cocktail party at Lazaridis. Chat with your friends, new and old ones, and exchange the last ideas before it’s finally time to say Goodbye. Cheers to all the amazing work you’ve accomplished in the past 3 days!
