What Is ETHGlobal New Delhi 2025?
ETHGlobal New Delhi 2025 is an Ethereum hackathon scheduled for New Delhi, India, from 26 to 28 September 2025. Organised by ETHGlobal, the organisation behind the world's largest network of Ethereum hackathons, it brings together developers, designers, and Web3 founders for three intensive days of building working Ethereum projects, competing for prizes from a global roster of ecosystem sponsors. The official page sits on the ETHGlobal New Delhi site. As ETHGlobal's flagship event in India's capital, it brings the organisation's globally consistent hackathon format to one of the world's largest developer populations.
India has one of the world's largest Ethereum developer communities, and ETHGlobal's arrival in New Delhi extends its India presence beyond Mumbai. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our crypto hackathons list.
Key Themes at ETHGlobal New Delhi
The agenda is built around what developers ship:
- Ethereum smart contract and dApp development.
- DeFi and payments applications.
- Layer 2 and scaling integrations.
- Identity and account abstraction.
The ETHGlobal format brings consistent global standards to each local edition. Many participants also track broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Ethereum Is Growing Across India's Tech Capitals
India is consistently ranked among the world's top countries for Ethereum and broader crypto developer activity, driven by a massive computer science talent pool, strong English-language technical education, and a deep culture of remote and open-source contribution. India taxes crypto profits at a flat 30% with 1% TDS on larger transactions, a demanding domestic framework that hasn't slowed the country's global developer contributions, since much of that activity serves international protocols and projects rather than domestic trading.
New Delhi, India's capital and a major technology and startup hub in its own right, complements Mumbai's established Web3 scene (home to ETHMumbai and India Blockchain Tour events) by extending ETHGlobal's hackathon format to North India's developer community. The event reflects how Ethereum's global builder culture continues deepening across India's multiple tech hubs, not concentrating in any single city.

Impact of ETHGlobal New Delhi on India's Builder Ecosystem
