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. ​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, Radicle, GnosisVPN. ​Stunning merch delivered by Coinmandeer ​​​Our previous events (feel the vibe) ​Neo-cypherpunk Summit - Funkhaus, Berlin 2026 ​Cypherpunk Congress 2 - Deseo, Buenos Aires 2025 ​Cypherpunk Congress 1 - Bangkok 2024 ​Privacy Summit II - Paralelni Polis, Prague 2024 ​Privacy Summit I - X10, Prague 2023 ​#Ethereum #cypherpunk #privacy #freedom #community #you
