The Irony of Onboarding the Next Billion
The Ethereum Foundation should be a beacon of decentralisation and grassroots empowerment, but instead mirrors the very bureaucratic inertia it was designed to disrupt.

EthCC [8] Recap | "I Cannes-not Believe the Heat"
“Tóg go bog é ☘️ Take it easy.”It might be a little late for a recap, but to be honest, it’s very aligned with the attitude I took during the trip. FOMO struck again. I arrived in Cannes with good intentions, drifting between side events, connecting with good people, and representing the care-first stack. But the sun had other ideas. It was too hot to be strategic. So it ended up being more like a working holiday. It was chaotic, healing, and hilarious.Day 1Mini-CCC meet-up with CandiceOf cou...

Berlin 2025 Recap | Building the Irish Restoration Stack
“Tús maith leath na hoibre ☘️ a good start is half the work.”The trip came with vague goals: carry our momentum internationally, research to improve next year’s hack and make connections to build out the conference. These goals, wrapped in a plan that’s currently under construction, are well within our interpretation of harm reduction. Naturally, we gravitated towards the care-first organisations and events that we could find, of which there was no shortage. Spoiler: Berlin delivered more tha...

ETH Dublin 2025 Retrospective
A week of code, culture & craic in the heart of Dublin From May 23–25, ETHDublin 2025 brought together the misfits, builders, artists, and thinkers shaping Ethereum's cultural frontier. This year’s gathering was an experimental blend of hacker ethos, local identity, and regenerative imagination, punctuated by folklore, first wallets, technical deep dives, and tender human connection. Here’s what we learned, what worked, what we’d do differently, and where the forest of possibility leads ...

Making Web3 Privacy Cool
I’m falling increasingly in love with perception and behaviour so I’m excited to learn, so seeing a few marketing-specific events popping up around DevCon is most welcome.

Life is a Hackathon; Everything is a Remix
One of the core focuses of building up ETH Ireland has been carving out a space for less technical people to contribute to high-tech projects. Let’s interpret “less technical” to mean anyone without coding or programming skills. These types of people may feel like they don’t belong at a hackathon and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Hackathons, at least in the Web3 context, are more akin to tech festivals than you might imagine.A Space for Non-TechiesOur team recently competed in two ...
