It’s no secret that we’re at a pivotal moment for Ethereum.
Ethereum has come a long way since the publication of its white paper in 2014 and has matured in ways that allow us to move closer toward mainstream adoption. Now, with ZK technology and programmable privacy, we’re in a stronger position and better equipped to scale Ethereum and create the next generation of applications. ETHDenver is where this begins.
We’re showing up to Denver in a big way to celebrate the epic builders of Ethereum and a new dawn of applications with the second NoirCon and an immersive night at Meow Wolf.
NoirCon 1: Ethereum’s New Frontier is Private
Following the success of NoirCon 0 in Bangkok, which featured talks from Vitalik and leading privacy researchers, we're bringing the community together again in Denver on Monday, February 24th, 2025 to focus on practical application building.
Since the start of this year, we've seen massive adoption for applications built with Noir, such as Anoncast. The World Team shared their experience, calling Noir "a best-in-class robust and ergonomic tool for ZK developers," and, a number of new Noir Research Grants (NRGs) have been issued to enable privacy to come to AI and identity.
At NoirCon 1, you can expect hands-on workshops from teams actively building with Noir, technical deep dives on AI and privacy applications, real-world case studies of privacy-first development, and interactive sessions with the broader ZK community. In addition, we’ll have a few fiery panels, including zkVMs versus zkDSLs, hosted by Alice Lui, host of House of ZK, and featuring panelists from RISC Zero, Succinct, and Aztec.
With partners such as EigenLayer, BuidlGuidl, Starknet, and House of ZK, we’re excited to create an event focused on helping developers build actual applications.

The Ethereum Ball at Meow Wolf
To celebrate the new dawn of Ethereum, we’re rolling out the red carpet at Meow Wolf, an interactive venue with artwork from over 350 local and international artists.
We’re encouraging maximum creativity and celebrating you – the builders of the next wave of innovative applications on Ethereum. Dress up fancy, funky, or wild. This is your opportunity to let your creativity shine and revel in the Ethereum culture we all know and love.
Explore Meow Wolf’s immersive space while enjoying cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and music from an incredible local house DJ. We will have a silent screening of 1995’s Hackers starring Angelina Jolie, along with custom swag from Chipped that you won’t want to miss.
Spots for this event are limited and will be first come, first served. We encourage you to get there early and lean into the theme. A good outfit or costume may even get you to the front of the line.
Sign up for the Ethereum Ball here, and NoirCon 1 here, and let’s build the next generation of applications on Ethereum together.
