About ETH Shanghai

Ethereum Foundation‘s close relation with Shanghai goes far back in time: In the early days of Ethereum, Vitalik came to China for discussing and promoting the vision of the project with investors and developers in Shanghai. Sponsorship and support from Chinese investors are an indispensable part of the evolving process of Ethereum. In return, Ethereum Foundation named the most important upgrade ETH Shanghai in recognition of Shanghai's support for the Ethereum project. ETH Shanghai marks the final upgrade before the merge of ETH 2.0, which is committed to promoting Ethereum network and encouraging more developers to join the Web 3.0 community.

Web 3.0 is the technological revolution of the underlying architecture of the Internet, and Ethereum has become the preferred network protocol for most developers, playing a key role in the establishment of the Web 3.0 standards. The Web 3.0 Developer Summit invites intellectuals and developers to exchange their opinion and professional insights on the future of the internet. The Summit will discuss topics on Web 3.0 global collaboration, Ethereum 2.0, decentralized internet, NFT arts, and philosophy.

Build New-Generation Social Applications in Web3

The question starts with how Web3 will change the status quo of how we social? The lack of data transparency and alternatives, as tech giants become increasingly monopolistic, has left Web2 users unaware of infringements on their privacy. Without owned digital space and the right to be forgotten, there is no selfhood and no dignity. Here at the ETH Shanghai hackathon, we want to raise this open question for developers to freely define what Web3 social could be and how the landscape will evolve. By gathering the leaders of Web3 protocols, we offer you protocols, and SDE tools to start building. You can make the social space more open, and censorship-resistant, and create an ownership structure for people to profit from.

Here is a list of hints to consider building:
