10 Years of Ethereum: Toronto leads the global celebration with ETHWomen, ETHToronto, and Canada crypto week

Toronto, the birthplace of Ethereum, will serve as the backdrop for two of Canada’s most anticipated Web3 events this year: ETHToronto and ETHWomen , both taking place on May 13, 2025, as part of Blockchain Futurist Conference and Canada Crypto Week . These events will commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Ethereum, which was founded in Toronto, and highlight the builders and leaders who continue to shape the decentralized future. Now in its fourth year, ETHToronto is a technical event that brings together builders and industry experts to explore the evolving development of Web3. The event runs from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM on the Upper Stage at Blockchain Futurist Conference, held in the historic Toronto Stock Exchange building. ETHToronto features a full afternoon of panels, presentations, and networking opportunities focused on the developer side of blockchain innovation. A key feature of ETHToronto is the official hackathon, Wonder to the Future, hosted by WonderFi Labs. Running from May 13 to May 31, 2025, the hackathon invites developers to build innovative applications leveraging Wonder L2 and Web3 technologies. With a focus on gasless transactions, the initiative encourages user-friendly and frictionless blockchain applications. Participants will have access to tools, mentorship, and opportunities to compete for prizes and recognition. Registration is available at www.wonderchain.org/hackathon . Just prior to ETHToronto, the third annual ETHWomen event will take place from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM on the same stage. ETHWomen is a free, female-focused Web3 event dedicated to empowering women through education and community. Designed to encourage more women to explore opportunities in blockchain and emerging technology, ETHWomen features speakers, panels, and dedicated networking time. ETHWomen is proudly sponsored by Unicoin, whose mission includes advancing female participation in the Web3 space. Silvina Moschini, co-founder of Unicoin, will be speaking on both the ETHWomen stage and the main stage at the conference, as well as engaging with attendees at the Unicoin booth. “We are thrilled to return as a sponsor of both ETHWomen and Blockchain Futurist Conference, supporting their mission to empower and elevate women in Web3. At Unicoin, we believe in fostering inclusivity and innovation in the blockchain space, and these events provide an incredible platform for women to connect, learn, and lead. We look forward to engaging with this inspiring community.” — Silvina Moschini, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Unicoin Another inspiring woman breaking barriers in Web3, Kyleigha Beckmann, will be taking the stage at ETHWomen. Kyleigha is a Founding Partner of ZDKL and a proud platinum sponsor of the Blockchain Futurist Conference. At ZDKL, we share ETHWomen’s vision of a collaborative, community-first Web3. We believe that Web3 commerce should be intuitive and accessible for all. That’s why we’ve built easy-to-use plug-ins and peer-to-peer tools designed to eliminate complexity and unlock new possibilities. Our mission is to remove barriers through practical tools and decentralized infrastructure, empowering everyone, not just a few, to thrive in the digital economy and advance our vision of Peace Through Trade,” said Kyleigha Beckmann.
