EthEnugu ‘25

EthEnugu is the entry point into the Ethereum ecosystem in South-East Nigeria — a rapidly growing region rich in culture, youth energy, and technical potential. For builders, investors, and curious minds looking to shape the future of decentralized tech, EthEnugu is more than an event — it’s a movement rooted in context and driven by local relevance.

Enugu is a city with historical significance, youthful vibrancy, and a growing tech ecosystem. It’s where tradition meets innovation, and where the Ethereum network can be localized into real-world use cases with impact.

The Goal

EthEnugu aims to foster a culture of local innovation using Ethereum tools — from digital identity and finance to creative economies and governance. Through immersive programs like Builder Residency and the Pop-up City, participants will not only build but also embed themselves in a community ready to experiment, iterate, and grow real solutions.

This isn’t just about decentralization for its own sake — it’s about building tech that matters to the people who use it.

The Region

Located in South-East Nigeria, Enugu — once known as the "Coal City" — is fast becoming a hub for youth-led innovation, with universities, creatives, and developer communities laying the groundwork. Nigeria as a whole leads Africa in crypto adoption, and Enug u offers a less-saturated, fertile space to localize Web3 infrastructure and thinking.

Supported by the momentum of tech-savvy youth, a thriving local creative scene, and a shift toward digital inclusion, EthEnugu positions itself as a catalyst for long-term change.
