About this Event

ETHRome 2026 is the fourth edition of a curated Ethereum hackathon organized by the urbe.eth community and hosted at Urbe Hub in Rome. Running from September 11–13, 2026, the event brings together 40 hand-selected builders for an intensive weekend of development, workshops, mentoring, networking and project evaluation. Instead of beginning entirely new projects for a single weekend, ETHRome encourages participants to bring concrete work already in progress and develop it further within the Ethereum ecosystem. Builders can work across three main directions: AI for Web3, finance for Web3 and privacy for Web3. The event is open to solo hackers, partially formed teams and established groups, with a maximum of three people per team. Meals are provided throughout the weekend, and the venue remains open continuously during the main hacking period.
