Ethereum Korea One 2026 will take place on 28–29 September in Seoul, bringing two different Ethereum audiences together across two dedicated events. Day 1 is an invitation-only institutional summit at Conrad Seoul. It will bring asset managers, banks, securities firms, regulators, family offices and institutional investors together to explore Ethereum as capital-market infrastructure. Discussions will cover tokenization, stablecoins, real-world assets, custody, staking, regulatory alignment and digital capital markets. Day 2, titled Genesis, is a builder-focused conference at Informal Square in Seongsu. Open through free registration, it is designed for developers, core contributors, protocol teams, researchers and members of Korea's Ethereum community. The second day will feature Korean and English stages, technical panels, workshops, roundtable discussions, coworking areas and rooftop networking. Topics include Ethereum upgrades, clients, validators, privacy, zero-knowledge technology, DeFi, account abstraction, Layer 2 networks, MEV, prediction markets and onchain AI agents.
