Ethereum Foundation Brings Devcon 8 to Mumbai, India
The Ethereum Foundation has officially announced that Devcon 8, its premier global gathering for the Ethereum community, will take place in Mumbai, India, in Q4 2026. This highly anticipated event aims to unite developers, researchers, community contributors, and blockchain builders from all over the world.
Why Mumbai?
India was chosen as the event’s host for several compelling reasons. With over 17 million developers on GitHub and a rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem, the country is becoming a powerhouse for technological innovation within the crypto space. Since 2023, India has led the world in crypto developer growth, with many developers building on Ethereum and its scaling ecosystems. Moreover, the nation has secured its position as a global leader in crypto adoption for two consecutive years.
Mumbai, as one of India’s most prominent global cities, offers attendees accessibility, a robust technology base, and a window into a thriving Ethereum community. From dynamic university hackathons to collaborative meetups and Ethereum-focused organizations, the city’s tech ecosystem exemplifies grassroots growth and innovation.
A Unique Ethereum Experience
Devcon is not your typical crypto conference. The event maintains a focus on Ethereum’s bottom-up culture, allowing much of the programming and events to be driven by the community. This collaborative approach ensures a unique, authentic experience for participants. As Nathan Sexer, Devcon Team Lead, stated:
“India has one of the world’s largest pools of technical talent, and its Ethereum communities have grown rapidly in recent years. Hosting Devcon 8 in Mumbai strengthens this momentum and lowers the barrier for new builders in the region to connect with contributors from around the world.”
What to Expect from Devcon 8
The Ethereum Foundation has built Devcon as a signature event to foster innovation and inclusivity. The conference will feature community-led workshops, keynote addresses from global blockchain leaders, interactive programming for developers, and collaborations across various Ethereum ecosystems. Additional details, including ticketing information, speaker applications, and opportunities for local community involvement, will be available soon on devcon.org.
