We've concluded an extremely exciting quarter, filled with many activities and many results. Ethereum Tegucigalpa held its first hackathon, also the first blockchain hackathon in the city! And we're excited to continue following up with more than 45 hackers. Below, we present what we experienced during these past few months, from July to September 2025.

Our 10-year Ethereum community meetup celebrated a decade of learning and building together. We revisited Ethereum’s journey and highlighted local milestones, all while enjoying good food and great company. Energized by the past, we’re ready for the next chapters ahead.

The first official Ethereum meetup at Universidad Católica de Honduras brought together students and faculty from diverse fields to explore blockchain, Ethereum, and Web3. The session introduced the basics—how the technology works, its applications, and paths to get started; given as a workshop held within the University’s Research and Innovation Congress.

A X Space that shared early insights about the upcoming Devconnect Argentina, which is expected to serve as an Ethereum World’s Fair with interactive exhibits, community hubs, and numerous side events, attracting 15,000+ of participants globally. The session connected with approximately 86 listeners. Candu from @seedlatam was remarkable in detailing opportunities for Latam communities, and creating a very nice dose of fomo to all who heard about the first Devconnect to come to Latin America.

A live session was broadcast on YouTube and X, organized by Ethereum México. The discussion centered on the value of hackathons as spaces that encourage developers to learn through hands-on experience. Speakers emphasized the distinctions between Web2 and Web3 hackathons, highlighting the focus on open-source collaboration, decentralized applications, and the use of emerging technologies that promote transparency and scalability. They also noted the importance of these events for communities, as they foster not only technical innovation but also skills in event organization and the discovery of emerging projects that can be supported and developed collaboratively.

The session offered a space to develop their ideas ahead of the ETH Jaguar hackathon in a relaxed, collaborative setting. Participants gathered to brainstorm and exchange feedback, while community leaders shared guidance on project development and highlighted successful, innovative examples from other Ethereum hackathons.

On Thursday, August 14, the team joined a Facebook Live organized by the Association of Systems Engineering Students at UNAH to share insights about the Ethereum Tegucigalpa community and give a brief recap of what Ethereum is, inviting UNAH students to participate in the upcoming hackathon. During the session, they discussed the event’s format, how to register, form teams, and develop project proposals using blockchain technology. The space also served as an opportunity to invite students interested in volunteering and getting involved with the community.

The ETH Tegucigalpa Townhall was an online session exploring key Ethereum events in Latin America for 2025. We looked at ETH Mexico, which will feature a hackathon and strong student involvement; ETH Latam in São Paulo, known for its large-scale conference and ETH Samba hackathon; and Devconnect in Buenos Aires, bringing together global builders for a week of community-driven events. Participants learned how to register, apply for scholarships or volunteer, reviewed agendas, and picked up travel tips for making the most of these gatherings.

With the support of Lido DAO we organized a Ethereum Nodes Bootcamp, it was a four-hour online workshop, held at UNITEC University and open to the public, that introduced 21 participants to the fundamentals of running Ethereum nodes. Led by a speaker currently operating a testnet node and recipient of an ETH Kipu scholarship, the session combined foundational theory with practical steps for node deployment. Coffee and pizza were the necessary fuel for participants benefited from real-world examples, a live collaboration from Guatemala, and the technical groundwork needed to begin setting up their own nodes.

The Solidity Bootcamp followed a hands-on methodology, giving 37 participants the chance to learn by doing and receive real-time feedback as they explored blockchain programming. Over four hours, the instructor—an experienced Web3 developer and frequent hackathon participant—guided the group through two sections: first, an introduction to the fundamentals of Solidity, and then team-based work on proposed projects. This approach allowed attendees to both understand the core concepts and gain practical experience, offering a first real feel for programming on Ethereum. Held in UNITEC and succesfully finishing of several boxes of pizza, attendees were geared for Eth Jaguar.

A two-hour online bootcamp focused on frontend development, designed to equip participants with the essential tools and frameworks needed to build user-friendly blockchain applications. The session introduced key frontend concepts, walked through practical examples, and provided hands-on guidance to help teams prepare their projects for the upcoming hackathon.

Ethereum Tegucigalpa Core was invited to collaborate and serve as a judge for the final eight pitches. Several projects incorporated blockchain, and many explored innovative technologies, providing an opportunity to promote Web3 and share constructive feedback. The program was organized by Impact Hub, hosted at Universidad José Cecilio del Valle, and funded by the Inter-American Development Bank.

The presentation explored the fundamentals of blockchain and ethereum, their adoption and and its role in academic research, showcasing international and regional initiatives, university programs, and practical applications. It was delivered at UNICAH’s First Innovation and Research Congress in Tegucigalpa, highlighting opportunities for collaboration and integration across disciplines.

ETH Jaguar 2025 marked Tegucigalpa’s first blockchain-exclusive hackathon, hosted at UNITEC from August 29–31. Over 47 hours, 47 participants formed 12 teams to build and deploy projects on Arbitrum—many of them first-time blockchain developers. The event was the result of weeks of preparation through bootcamps, online meetups, and one-on-one mentoring, supported by a strong organizational team of Ethereum Tegucigalpa Core, 10 mentors, speakers, and 15+ volunteers. Participants included students, professors, and developers from universities such as UNITEC, UNAH, and UNICAH, with all teams successfully deploying working code.

The hackathon was made possible through a wide network of sponsors and partners, including Arbitrum, Ethereum Foundation, Devconnect Argentina, Taikai, and IHCAFE, along with community allies like Ethereum México, Guatemala, and Nica. Mentorship sessions covered technical onboarding, smart contract development, Stylus for Rust, and pitching skills, while projects ranged from on-chain donations (CriptoGive, DonarX), decentralized marketplaces (Chamba), and savings platforms (Coperacha) to real-time voting (MapBallot) and DeFi-traditional finance bridges (Nebula). Coperacha won the Devconnect Grand Prize—tickets and travel to Buenos Aires—while REDE and Decibels received Arbitrum prizes for technical excellence. All finalist teams were invited to an incubation program with Impact Hub, ensuring continued support beyond the event.

Watch the teams projects here:

We successfully participated in the discussions and voting cycles for 14 Scroll DAO proposals, these proposal range from funding requests for local nodes, protocol upgrades and research programs aiming for the improvement of the protocol and opening new lines of communication with communities as well as helping in the creation of new innovative products deployed on the Scroll network.

We took a stand in supporting the Scroll DAO in making a shift in the way that the DAO will operate from the beginning of Q4, we also apply for Governance Council which will help in the creation of a new governance constitution which will set the bases for the new operations.

Delegation was acquired to strengthen our position in the OP governance and we began our participation in the Cryptex Finance DAO by becoming CTX delegators.

University collabs, project follow-up, Road to Latin American events, take the time to gather some thoughts, maybe even write more on behalf of the community & go get excited at Devconnect!
