India has one of the world's most extraordinary concentrations of engineering talent — and its fastest-growing Ethereum developer community. The work happening here is not peripheral to Ethereum's development. Infrastructure, ZK identity systems, and coordination layers built in India power Ethereum globally.
India is the home of engineers who didn't wait for permission, in a country that leapfrogged the entire technological generation. Building at scale creates innovation at scale. Devcon isn't coming to Mumbai to introduce Ethereum to India. Devcon 8 is in Mumbai to recognize and champion what India is already building.
Creating Global Communities
Devcon always had a heavy technical focus to it, and this will remain true this year and into the future (it's the DEVelopers CONference after all!). Though Ethereum is a technological breakthrough in its own right, its applications reach much further, into digital economy, research, community, art, and beyond.
Devcon is not only for developers, it is for builders of all kinds: engineers, designers, researchers, infrastructure operators, community organizers, social economists, artists, and more. So we want to invite everyone who is looking to build and create to improve our existing world using Ethereum and decentralized systems.
We could host Devcon in the same place every year, sure! But we're working toward achieving a goal of bringing Ethereum to communities around the world, and to places where it can have real impact today.
"The difference between Argentina and some of the wealthier countries is that in wealthier places, there are people who are excited about crypto ideas and theory, but people here deeply understand that crypto is solving real problems."
— Vitalik Buterin
Ethereum isn't merely a technical solution, but a community. While blockchain communities in Europe and North America are already strong and vivid, we can have a big impact today in newly developing communities.
