Welcome to the inaugural Ethereum Hong Kong Meetup, the first in a monthly series designed to bring together builders, researchers, investors, and enthusiasts in Hong Kong’s growing Web3 ecosystem.
Hosted at the soon-to-launch Hong Kong Ethereum Community Hub – the first in Asia – supported by the Ethereum Foundation’s Ethereum Everywhere (EE) team and operated by SNZ & ETHTAO, this series aims to foster meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and learning around key themes in the Ethereum space.
Each month, we will dive deep into a specific topic, featuring insights from Ethereum Foundation researchers and leading ecosystem projects. Our goal is to create a consistent, high-quality forum for knowledge sharing and network building in Hong Kong.
