Async House @ETHDenver 2025
Welcome to the Async House at ETHDenver
At Async House, we’re bringing together top-tier developers and industry experts for a week of hands-on building, learning, and playing in a unique space where you can focus on real, technical challenges. =nil;, is curating this experience to be robust yet chill enough to work on real projects, get your hands dirty, and make new connections.
No fluff, just solid builders and really great vibes. Full schedule here.
What to Expect
Workshops & Sessions: Daily hands-on workshops on topics like async workflows, ZKPs, modular scaling, and cross-chain interoperability, led by co-hosts, resident experts, and invited teams.
Networking & Socials: Casual events to connect with fellow developers—expect jam sessions, welcome dinners, and game/cinema room activities.
Swag: Exclusive Async House merch.
Who’ll be in the house
Solidity wizards (3+ years preferred) who know their way around the codebase and a meme or two.
Builders passionate about async blockchain workflows and pushing boundaries.
Crypto maxis who pass the vibe check.
Resident spots are all filled, but you’re still more than welcome to join us as a guest! We’re hosting a lineup of technical talks, workshops, a fireside chat, and casual hangs with some of the brightest builders in the space.
