ETHGlobal is bringing its flagship hackathon back to New York City, with more than 500 developers expected to gather at the Metropolitan Pavilion from June 12 to June 14. The 36-hour event carries a prize pool exceeding $225,000, spread across multiple sponsor tracks, and attendance is free for accepted participants.
The timing is deliberate. ETHGlobal New York 2026 lands immediately after ETHConf, which runs June 8 through June 10, and overlaps with NY Tech Week.
What’s on the table
The $225,000+ prize pool is funded by a roster of sponsors that reads like a cross-section of the current crypto landscape. ENS is leading the pack with a $20,000 track. Sui, WLD, and 0G each contribute $15,000. The Uniswap Foundation rounds out the named sponsors with $10,000.
The speaker lineup includes Alex Gluchowski of Matter Labs, the team behind zkSync, and Amanda Cassatt of Serotonin, a crypto-native marketing firm. Applications are open through ethglobal.com.
