From ZK and FHE to privacy, applications, and the Ethereum ecosystem, we’ll explore the latest advances in cryptography and how these technologies are shaping the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. 🤝 Co-hosts: ECNU, SJTU, @PrimusLabs 🌐 Community Partners: @EthereumSH @OpenBuildxyz @GCCofCommons @ETHPanda_Org @LXDAO_Official 📍Venue: East China Normal University, Putuo Campus 📅 Date: September 21 🎟️ RSVP Now: Whether you’re a blockchain developer, cryptography researcher, student, or simply curious about the future of Ethereum — come join the conversation.

Meet @Sharplink , our Gold Sponsor, and join CEO @joechalom at EthConnect 2026. He'll explore Sharplink’s approach to ETH treasury management and the forces driving the Ethereum institutional adoption supercycle. @Sharplink is an institutional-grade Ethereum treasury platform built for smarter, more productive access to ETH.

“So we have big technical unlocks, big enterprise embraces, and big regulatory tailwinds. ” “These are exactly the kinds of things you'd want to see if you're betting that ETH's market cap will reach the trillions.” “ It's not a crazy bet, I say.”

Thank you, amazing community 💖 We've reached 1,000 followers on our journey to make HK a leading global hub for Ethereum & Web3 innovation 🇭🇰 Grateful for your support as we build the future together. Let's keep the momentum going!

8/ Our co-founder Mo @motypes spoke at the Asia Onchain Finance Summit in Hong Kong with Henry Chen @henrychen_cy of SNZ, on what changes when institutions move from proofs of concept to real applications. Thanks to the Hong Kong Ethereum Community Hub @ethereumhkhub and SNZ @snzholding for the room and the introductions.

Huge congratulations to @chainlink on reaching this milestone! 🥂 @BitGo adopting Chainlink CCIP for $7.4B+ in WBTC is a massive validation of standardizing cross-chain security for institutional-grade digital assets. Learn more:

I updated my 2023 roadmap diagram to overlay where the items that were there sit in the current Strawmap ( ). In general, a lot of overlap, but: * Some things got reshuffled in order (eg. quantum safety up-prioritized) * Some things deprioritized (eg. VDFs; many EVM improvements) * Some things replaced with superior constructions (eg. Verkle -> unified BT -> PBT; state expiry -> new state types) What's most striking, however, is that some completely new things are in the strawmap that are NOT in this diagram, because they were not in the 2023 roadmap at all. These reflect changing priorities. Notably: * First-class attention to strong privacy. This covers: keyed nonces and recent roots, aspects of FOCIL, lean privacy pool & wormholes * Aggressive scaling in the context of post-quantum. This covers: leanSPHINCS signatures and aggregation, zkzk frames (see ) * Lean-ification of the spec, to assist in formal verification (full FV of everything is only possible because of modern AI) * Blob and gas futures (this idea just didn't exist back in 2023) * Native rollups (SNARKs were nowhere near mature enough to even consider this back in 2023) * A more open design space for the "future of the EVM". zkzk frames already implies that the protocol will expose to users some ISA that's not the EVM - current leading candidates are leanISA and RISC-V. These ISAs are more simple, modern and efficient than the EVM. Once they're there, why not expose them to developers everywhere? (And then, why not turn the EVM into being an IR on top of that ISA, instead of an enshrined feature massively complicating the base protocol?) Though much of the deeper exploration here is too early even for the strawmap. * New state types are not just a replacement for expiry, they're a fundamentally different paradigm to how Ethereum does scaling A common theme in scaling, found in both state types and zkzk frames (both new ideas), is that instead of trying to maximally scale ALL ethereum activity, we try to create specialized mechanisms that have more restrictive properties that make them more scaling-friendly, while supporting the heaviest loads incurred by users and applications today (eg. token transfers, swaps) and tomorrow (eg. privacy protocols). The other common theme is treating STARKs and AI-accelerated FV as first-class objects, that we are okay betting the technical future of Ethereum on. There are recursive STARKs in many layers of the protocol, one particular primitive (the "aggregate to union verified dependencies" primitive) is expected to be used in *three* places in the protocol: EL, CL and DL. This can only be safe with formal verification, which is itself only feasible with modern AI tools. In general, many steps forward in maturity. And a huge amount of hard work by many dozens of Ethereum researchers and developers on all of these features. Ethereum will be quantum-safe. Ethereum will put users' privacy first. Ethereum will be secure. Ethereum will be censorship-resistant. Ethereum will be highly performant and scalable while satisfying the above. And Ethereum will be Lean.

Sharplink is staking $200M of ETH through @LidoFinance, the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum. Our partnership gives us access to enhanced onchain yield, while the underlying ETH keeps earning staking rewards. This is Ethereum with an edge.

As global finance is experiencing the next wave of technological upgrade via tokenization, evaluating structural efficiency, liquidity frameworks, and institutional readiness becomes paramount. Jointly organized by @BGDA_UK @ethereumhkhub @snzholding #BlockUnion#, and co-hosted by @Sharplink @GSR_io @LidoFinance , the Asia Onchain Finance Summit brings together leaders across financial institutions, fintech and decentralized ecosystem to explore how institutional finance is evolving onchain. 📅 July 17, 2026 (Friday) | 14:30 The countdown is on 🇭🇰 Register now: Here's a look at the key conversations shaping the programme 👇

stETH liquidity held up well through the volatility around the April KelpDAO event. Pricing stayed orderly, liquidity depth held, and secondary markets kept working normally. Deep and resilient liquidity is one of stETH's biggest advantages as staking collateral.

Great to see @ethlabs_org launch! ETH HK Hub is ready to help bridge Ethlabs with the broader Asian Ethereum community — builders, researchers, and founders who are shaping the future of Ethereum in the region. Ethereum is for everyone. Its future will be built together.
