We’re evolving how we build ethereum.org. Starting January 20th, we’ve adopted Shape Up cycles – focused 6-week build periods followed by 2-week cooldowns. For Cycle 1, each project below will ship by the end of February – no automatic rollovers to next cycle.
Quick point of clarification: this is the cycle roadmap for ethereum.org the website, not Ethereum the protocol.
We’ll ship the following projects by the end of February in our first cycle:
Core ethereum.org improvements
Interactive roadmap 🛣️
Making Vitalik’s Ethereum roadmap more beginner-friendly and interactive, helping newcomers understand Ethereum’s evolution and future.
Listen-to-learn 🎧
Implementing audio capabilities for key pages, letting users listen to articles instead of reading them.
Web3 implementation 🔗
Adding native Web3 features to ethereum.org for the first time – wallet connections and direct onboarding to dapps.
Dashboard hub 📊
Creating a central location for essential Ethereum tracking tools and community resources. Join our Discord to suggest dashboards you think should be included!
Content updates 📚
Existing content refresh
One of our biggest priorities is ensuring our documentation stays current with Ethereum’s rapid evolution. We’re conducting a comprehensive update of existing content across the site.
New educational content
Working with freelance writers to expand our educational resources and fill content gaps.

Translation quality 🌍
Implementing new systems to improve and maintain translation quality across all languages.
Non-English experience 🌐
Exploring ways to improve the experience for non-English users beyond translations. This could include better feedback systems, UI improvements, or content organization changes – we’ll be testing different approaches during this cycle.
UI component migration 💨
Working with an existing community contributor to fully migrate from Chakra to Shadcn UI components by the cycle’s end.
App router migration ⚡
Implementing server components for improved performance and loading times.

Distributing acknowledgments to standout 2024 contributors
Looking ahead
After Cycle 1 ends in February, we’ll take a 2-week cooldown to reflect on our deliverables and plan the next cycle. We’ll post an update during cooldown to share what we shipped and what we learned!
