What is Devcon? --------------- Devcon began in Berlin, 2014. Forty-thousand attendees and eight editions later, Devcon 8 lands in Mumbai. We don't go where everyone else goes. **We go where something is growing.** At its core, Devcon is grounded in the four properties known as CROPS: _censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security._ From the programming to the spaces to the community initiatives, everything is designed to support technology that remains open, verifiable, and resilient. If you ship open-source infrastructure, defend digital privacy, research fairer economic models, or build tools you think should belong to everyone, you share these values. **There is a place for you at Devcon.** 🗺 Planning your trip?

Road to Devcon brings together communities, local organizations, and new audiences through programs designed to amplify grassroots efforts and create long-term impact. * [Academic Program](https://devcon.org/en/academic-program/): Connecting students, researchers, and academic institutions with Ethereum. * [Ecosystem Program](https://devcon.org/en/ecosystem-program/): Grants and activations supporting local events and community initiatives, while bringing Ethereum’s core values and CROPS into practice through hands-on experiences across India. _Applications for the second round coming soon._ Together, these programs keep the community active, amplify local efforts and voices, and serve as preparation for the culmination of the year: Devcon.

Instead of traditional sponsorship, Supporters contribute to the event and get a real presence across four days, alongside builders, researchers, founders from 130+ countries, protocol teams, L2s, client developers, and the people shipping Ethereum. The Program is application-based and intentionally limited. Different levels of participation are available, from a booth, presence, and tickets, to non-booth activations and more.
