The wind of change is blowing through Ethereum. The time has come to evolve from mass consumption to a culture of high values. Where decentralization, freedom, privacy, and politics are not empty words, but part of activism toward a more just world.
Here and now, Ethereum has a chance to make a breakthrough - perform a revolutionary act that millions have dreamed of for so long. To accomplish this, today's degens need to evolve into cypherpunks.

Lasting cultural phenomenon
Focusing on values, active political stance, and cutting-edge research will help Ethereum become a cultural & resilient to change phenomenon.
We are talking not only about the existence of privacy-preservation dapps, but Free & Open-source software development, support for free speech and whistleblowers around the world, helping marginalized people get access to the decolonial money system, safe & empowered tech, and last but not least - diverse and active communities of care.
Ethereum Social Layer (ESL)
It is being formed before our eyes - an active ecosystem of thousands of thinkers, developers, analysts, human-rights DAOs, coordinators, and even ravers. Inspired by cypherpunks of the past, they create a foundation for the digital community of the future (explore our Cyherpunk personas article). Based on permissionless & censorship-resistance ideology. Follow Paul Dylan-Ennis on ESL.
Activation
The debut Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress assembles an active part of Ethereum. These people and organizations want to stand at the foundations of the unstoppable socio-techno-cultural movement.
Special rituals help us to share Cypherpunk culture & build care for each other.
They are activists, developers, cryptographers, ethical investors, philosophers, and researchers who are changing the possibilities for Ethereum on the path to freedom.
Hackathon track
Events for developers are critical activation points behind any cultural change. Every protocol from Aztec to Ethereum needs devs to build on top of it & deliver decentralized, permissionless & privacy-enhancing applications. We invited current privacy hackathon devs to reflect on their experience.
Women in web3 privacy track
Diversity in the web3 industry is a critical challenge, let alone in the privacy market. Let's discuss how we can be more open, diverse & inclusive to different opinions and opportunities.
Activation track
We want everyone to feel, use and contribute to practical privacy tooling. So we will showcase existing tools empowering your journey in decentralized world: Fileverse, Rotki, Fluidkey, Brume [list is being updated].
