<a href="https://www.ethwarsaw.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">ETHWarsaw</a>, web3 conference and hackathon organized by Ethereum enthusiasts, is set to return for its highly anticipated third edition. Scheduled to take place from September 5th to 8th, 2024, in Warsaw, Poland, the event will once again bring together a global community of builders, founders, and educators in the web3 space.
Building on the success of previous years, ETHWarsaw 2023 attracted over 1,000 participants and hosted more than 200 hackers competing for nearly $70,000 in prizes. The event also introduced <a href="https://ethwarsaw.notion.site/Warsaw-Blockchain-Week-4ec0e65bf067494ebe3e4f6494edee9a" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Warsaw Blockchain Week</a>, Poland’s largest blockchain gathering, and EthWarsawVC, a one-day program connecting venture funds with promising blockchain projects. Due to strong community support, both events will return for the 2024 edition.
<blockquote>
 “After two successful editions, we’ve found a formula that works and grows organically each year. That’s why we’re maintaining the same format and keeping the audience size intimate, especially since recent feedback suggests that as events grow in size, the quality can suffer,” said Paulina Joskow, co-founder of ETHWarsaw.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
 She continued, “That said, the third edition will bring some changes. With the potential onset of a bull market, we anticipate rapid growth, attracting investors, customers, and significant capital. However, this also brings the risk of subpar products and scams. It’s crucial to differentiate between the good and the harmful, understand the risks, and always build responsibly. This is the core message we want to emphasize at this year’s conference.”
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
 Monika Zajac, co-founder of ETHWarsaw, added, “We also want to challenge the stereotype that only developers and ‘crypto-bros’ are interested in blockchain. Our goal is to showcase the diverse faces and backgrounds within the community and ultimately lower the barriers to entry. This includes highlighting efforts to simplify onboarding, clearly communicate product values, provide supportive infrastructure, and offer quality education to accelerate progress.”
</blockquote>
ETHWarsaw is designed to cater to both seasoned professionals and newcomers to the web3 space, offering valuable insights for developers, non-technical talent, and students alike. The conference will feature two days of content, including talks, panels, and workshops, organized into four key tracks:
<ul>
 <li>Infrastructure and Scalability — Exploring ways to build and expand blockchain networks to handle more users and transactions efficiently. This includes innovations in blockchain layers, advanced data storage solutions, and integrating AI with blockchain technology.</li>
 <li>Security and Resilience — Focusing on how to keep blockchain systems safe and private. Topics will include the latest in cybersecurity practices, how different blockchain systems maintain trust, and the role of ethical hackers in identifying vulnerabilities.</li>
 <li>Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Innovations — Delving into decentralized finance (DeFi) and related topics like digital wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEX), and new ways to invest using blockchain. It also covers the legal and regulatory aspects of this evolving financial landscape.</li>
 <li>Mass Adoption — Discussing how to make blockchain and web3 technologies more user-friendly and accessible to everyone. This track will cover user experience, building communities, marketing in the web3 space, and opportunities in the web3 job market.</li>
</ul>
This year’s lineup of speakers includes notable figures such as Marek Olszewski from Celo, Anastasia Melachrinos from Kaiko, Kevin Jones from BuidlGuidl, and Omar Espejel from Starknet.
Following the conference, the overnight hackathon will kick off on Friday evening, offering a 48-hour marathon of non-stop building. Teams and individuals will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge applications and advanced tools, with prizes totaling approximately $50,000.
Returning sponsors for ETHWarsaw 2024 include AlephZero, Golem, Arweave, Optimism, RedStone, Starknet, Celo, Request Network and Scroll among others.
ETHWarsaw 2024 will be hosted at a new venue, Browary Warszawskie, located in the vibrant Wola district of Warsaw. Known for its mix of contemporary residential and office spaces, this area is also home to a thriving scene of cafes and restaurants.&nbsp;
