5. Hackathon Expansion Program Pilot

  • The Ecosystem Working Group is launching a $50,000 Hackathon Expansion Pilot starting November 1, 2025 to broaden ENS participation at in-person hackathons and strengthen relationships with builders worldwide.
  • The goal is to scale involvement beyond the current level.
  • The difficulty of objectively measuring metrics related to hackathons.
  • Discussion around builder retentions and metrics for success.
  • A large portion (85%) of hackathon spending goes to ETH Global.
  • The key thing about this pilot is the ability to have hackathons without Greg and Simon being present.
  • The pilot program is scaling through community involvement, using technical experts to guide participants.
