World\u2019s Fairs have historically showcased the biggest innovations of their time like telephones, televisions, photography, and light bulbs. In this spirit, Ethereum gets its own World\u2019s Fair this November in Buenos Aires.<\/a> A week where the ecosystem doesn\u2019t just talk about innovation, but showcases what\u2019s being built now, and what\u2019s next. We\u2019re creating a space to see, touch, and experience the frontier of technology. A World\u2019s Fair that showcases what Ethereum can do today.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>The eight districts of the Ethereum World\u2019s Fair<\/h2>\n

Just as Nikola Tesla’s electricity system lit up Chicago\u2019s World\u2019s Fair in 1893, when most people still used candles, we\u2019ll showcase what Ethereum can do today to replace old and traditional systems. We\u2019ll dogfood Ethereum on the ground for payments, ticketing, perks, and voting. Additionally, eight districts will highlight Ethereum\u2019s domains. The most relevant teams will be there, demoing their apps and letting you try them hands-on. The districts are:<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>DeFi<\/h3>\n

All the power of the financial system, open to anyone with an internet connection. From stablecoins that maintain their value to innovative approaches in lending, borrowing, and payments. All without the need for banks or middlemen.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Social<\/h3>\n

Ethereum\u2019s tools for organizing people online. Prediction markets, identity, and decentralized social apps show how communities can coordinate, govern, and make decisions together without central authorities.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Hardware & Wallets<\/h3>\n

Ethereum in the physical world and wallets that unlock the world of Ethereum. Explore self-custodial wallets and devices that empower users to control their assets. Discover how real-world systems can be community-owned.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Privacy<\/h3>\n

Not everything should be public. Privacy-preserving tech on Ethereum lets people transact, communicate, and build securely while keeping sensitive information hidden. A civil right for the internet age.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Gaming<\/h3>\n

Games where players own their assets. Characters, items, and virtual land live as NFTs on Ethereum, so you can trade, sell, or carry them into new worlds. Entertainment meets real digital ownership.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>AI<\/h3>\n

Where artificial intelligence meets decentralization. AI agents and tools built with Ethereum are transparent, secure, and open to anyone, not locked inside big companies. Discover how Ethereum enables the future that AI promises, and together how they reshape productivity and trust.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>L2<\/h3>\n

Ethereum\u2019s scaling layer. Layer 2 networks make transactions faster and cheaper without sacrificing security. The place to see how rollups, zk-tech, and new apps bring Ethereum to billions of people.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Collectibles<\/h3>\n

Digital art, music, and culture onchain. NFTs let artists prove ownership, earn royalties, and connect directly with collectors. A new economy for creativity, where scarcity and authenticity exist online.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Ethereum Day \u2013 Nov 17<\/h2>\n

The grand opening at La Rural. Opening ceremony and talks from the Ethereum Foundation, core contributors, and app builders. One day to get up to speed on the roadmap and future of the ecosystem.
This day is included in your ticket, but entrance on the 17th will be first come first served, so don\u2019t come late.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>ETHCon \u2013 Nov 18<\/h2>\n

An all-Spanish introduction to Ethereum and its community<\/a>, co-organized by regional leaders SEED Latam, Ethereum Argentina, ETH Kipu, Crecimiento, and Nodo Serrano. It\u2019s the gateway to Devconnect for the local Spanish-speaking audience, featuring talks and panels on tokenization, privacy, regulation, AI, and decentralization. Plus hands-on workshops to kickstart or deepen your journey with Ethereum, and opportunities to connect with Argentina\u2019s leading projects, communities, and universities.<\/p>\n
