India’s Moment in Web3

India has rapidly transformed into the world’s second-largest hub of crypto developers, quietly surpassing expectations. At nearly every major ETHGlobal hackathon in recent years, Indian builders have not only shown up—they’ve dominated, consistently appearing in winning teams.

This isn’t just about hackathon trophies. Indian-led projects have gone on to define the global crypto ecosystem. Polygon reimagined scaling solutions for Ethereum. Instadapp, born at an ETHGlobal hackathon, evolved into a DeFi powerhouse with billions in locked value. Push Protocol, also launched from these roots, now serves as the notification layer for thousands of decentralized apps.

ETHGlobal New Delhi 2025 is not just another hackathon—it’s a signal of India’s rise as a force in the crypto economy.

The Event: A Three-Day Builder’s Arena

• Dates: September 26–28, 2025

• Venue: Yashobhoomi, New Delhi’s world-class convention and exhibition center

• Prize Pool: $200,000 in rewards for the most groundbreaking projects

• Participants: Thousands of developers from around the world

• Support: Mentorship from leading crypto founders and technologists

Over three intense days, builders will form teams, attend hands-on workshops, and sprint to turn raw ideas into functional Web3 applications. The hackathon will culminate in live demos where the best projects battle for recognition and funding.

Why ETHGlobal New Delhi Matters

ETHGlobal is more than a coding competition—it’s a launchpad for the next generation of decentralized applications. By bringing the event to India, organizers are tapping into one of the fastest-growing developer ecosystems on the planet.

India’s digital rails—UPI, Aadhaar, and the broader India Stack—have already proven how large-scale public technology can transform daily life. Now, that same energy is poised to reshape crypto adoption. With millions of developers, a young digital-native population, and growing institutional interest, India is uniquely positioned to become a global Web3 superpower.

ETHGlobal New Delhi represents that inflection point: the moment where local talent connects with global opportunity.

Beyond the Hackathon

For developers, this event is about far more than prize money. Teams gain access to mentors, protocol founders, and venture investors. Many projects will go on to receive grants, join accelerator programs, or even attract seed funding. Alumni of past ETHGlobal events have turned their prototypes into companies shaping DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer crypto apps.

By participating, builders not only join a global network but also put themselves at the center of India’s next technological wave.

Final Word

India is no longer the quiet contributor to crypto—it’s the engine room. ETHGlobal New Delhi 2025 is set to showcase this shift to the world. For anyone serious about Web3, whether a first-time developer or a seasoned builder, this is the event where ideas turn into products and products turn into movements.
