Toronto Throws Crypto Confetti: ETHWomen, ETHToronto & Canada Crypto Week Celebrate Ethereum’s Decade of Disruption
Ethereum turns 10—and Toronto’s throwing a blockchain bash that even Wall Street can’t ignore. ETHWomen takes center stage, smashing crypto’s bro-culture stereotype with all-female panels and hackathons. Meanwhile, ETHToronto lures devs with promises of ’the next Uniswap’ and ’NFTs that don’t suck.’
Canada Crypto Week? More like Canada Crypto Weak—unless you count the politicians suddenly pretending to understand DeFi between photo ops. Love it or hate it, Ethereum’s anniversary proves one thing: the blockchain party’s just getting started. Even if the hangover (gas fees, anyone?) still hurts.
ETHToronto: Developer-Focused Programming Returns
In its fourth edition, ETHToronto brings builders, engineers, and blockchain experts together for an afternoon of discussions, panels, and networking sessions centered on the evolving Web3 landscape. Scheduled from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM on the conference’s Upper Stage, the event offers a platform for technical exchange and innovation.
The event also launches the Wonder to the Future hackathon, organized by WonderFi Labs, which runs from May 13 through May 31. Participants will build on Wonder L2 technology, focusing on creating frictionless blockchain applications with gasless transactions. Developers interested in joining can register via wonderchain.org/hackathon.
ETHWomen: Supporting Women in Blockchain
Prior to ETHToronto, the third annual ETHWomen event will take place at the same venue from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM. ETHWomen is a free initiative to increase female participation in Web3 through education, mentorship, and community-building activities.
The program features speakers from companies actively promoting inclusivity in tech. Silvina Moschini, Co-Founder of Unicoin, will address attendees on both the ETHWomen stage and the conference Main Stage. Unicoin returns as a key sponsor, aligning with its broader mission to boost gender diversity in emerging technologies.
Joining the lineup is Kyleigha Beckmann, Founding Partner of ZDKL, a company developing accessible peer-to-peer Web3 tools. ZDKL, a platinum sponsor of the Blockchain Futurist Conference, emphasizes community-driven commerce and simplified decentralized infrastructure.
Following the ETHWomen programming, attendees are invited to the Blockchain4Her ETHWomen Happy Hour upstairs at 1:00 PM. Registration details are available here.
