+ Respecting boundaries: If someone says "no,"
+ "stop," or physically disengages, the transaction is void.
+ Continuing to push—whether for a debate, a pitch, or a chat—is a
+ violation of the non-aggression principle..
+
+
+ Assume Zero Consent: Do not touch anyone without
+ explicit permission. Do not photograph anyone wearing a "no photo"
+ indicator where we have them.
+
+
+ Scope: This applies to all venues, afterparties,
+ and the official digital channels.
+
+
+
+
+
2. Shilling & Spam
+
+ Attention is the scarcest resource out here now. Do not steal it.
+
+
+
+ Signal vs noise: Do not corner people to pitch your
+ tokens. Aggressive shilling is taxes on our collective cognitive
+ load. Engage on fundamental engineering or philosophy and let price
+ talk in the market.
+
+
+ Recruitment: Headhunting is acceptable; pestering
+ builders in the flow state is not. Read the room.
+
+
+
+
+
3. Property & Commons
+
+ Do not let the space devolve into another tragedy of the commons.
+
+
+
+ Property rights: Never touch another person's
+ keyboard or unlocked laptop (or anything not explicitly yours,
+ really). Building trustless systems does not absolve us of the need
+ for physical integrity.
+
+
+ The Commons: Minimize your negative externalities.
+ Respect the space(s) that you occupy. Leave the environment in a
+ better condition than you found it.
+
+
+
+
+
4. Physical Security
+
+ The decentralized future requires each of us to be capable of
+ self-regulation. Do not force us to be the leviathan.
+
+
+
+ Zero Tolerance: Any act of harm towards
+ participants or staff—violence, doxxing, or harassment—results in
+ immediate, permanent exclusion.
+
+
+ Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute,
+ resolution will be determined by the sole discretion of the event
+ staff team.
+
+ ETHTokyo exists, because Tokyo is one of the few places where the
+ contradictions of Ethereum can be held without immediately resolving
+ them.
+
+
+ Protocol and culture. Finance and art. Public goods and private
+ ambition. Cypherpunk sovereignty and institutional legitimacy.
+ Technological acceleration and sustainable continuity.
+
+
This is the terrain.
+
+ ETHTokyo is not defined by whether we run a hackathon, a conference, a
+ meetup, a dinner, a research salon, or a public gathering. Formats
+ change. Ethereum does not need another event for the sake of an event.
+ What remains is our reason.
+
+
+ We are here to coordinate the people building credible, open,
+ programmable systems from Tokyo.
+
+
+ Ethereum has crossed an important threshold. It is no longer merely a
+ speculative frontier or an experiment in alternative money. The stack is
+ becoming real: programmable accounts, cheaper data, rollups,
+ zero-knowledge proofs, privacy-preserving systems, autonomous agents,
+ decentralized infrastructure, and new forms of digital organization are
+ all converging.
+
+
The question is no longer whether Ethereum can exist.
+
The question is what kind of world it will make possible.
+
ETHTokyo exists to raise that question.
+
+
Our thesis
+
+ ETHTokyo is not defined by a single format, venue, or hackathon. It is
+ a coordination layer for Ethereum in Tokyo: a place where builders,
+ researchers, artists, operators, founders, institutions, and
+ independent weirdos can gather around a shared civilizational
+ question.
+
+
+ What should a credible, open, programmable society look like from
+ Tokyo?
+
+
+
+
+
Why now?
+
+ Ethereum is no longer just a speculative frontier. The protocol stack
+ has matured. Account abstraction, cheaper data, rollups, privacy
+ research, restaking, ZK, hardware verification, and agentic execution
+ are converging into a new design space.
+
+
+ The question is no longer whether Ethereum can technically exist.
+ Rather, we're here to ask: what kind of real-world order will it make
+ possible?
+
+
+
+
Our principles
+
+
+ Permissionlessness over gatekeeping — Anyone should
+ be able to build, fork, join, contribute, exit, and create without
+ asking institutional permission.
+
+
+ Commons over capture — Ethereum only matters if it
+ sustains infrastructure, knowledge, norms, and commons that outlive
+ individual cycles.
+
+
+ Intent over interface — Ethereum should expand
+ human agency first and foremost beyond wallet UX, dashboards, and
+ manual transaction clicking.
+
+
+ Verification over trust - Crypto must escape
+ self-referential token games; serious systems should make claims
+ checkable, whether they concern code, assets, compute, or
+ institutional infrastructure. The physical reality is our substrate.
+
+
+ Privacy over surveillance - Privacy is not a niche
+ feature or a criminal suspicion; it is a precondition for freedom,
+ security, experimentation, and dignity.
+
+
+ Pluralism over monoculture — Ethereum's strength
+ comes from many clients, L2s, apps, cultures, teams, and scenes, not
+ one official path.
+
+
+ Localization over globalization — ETHTokyo aims to
+ connect global Ethereum to Tokyo's actual cultural, institutional,
+ and underground reality rather than importing generic conference
+ aesthetics.
+
+
+
+
+
+
What ETHTokyo does
+
+ ETHTokyo convenes, curates, and coordinates. We are not here to
+ civilize the edge until it becomes harmless. We are here to protect
+ the edge from becoming isolated, illegible, or wasted.
+
+
+ ETHTokyo acts as the coordination layer, not a factional machine,
+ sponsor vehicle, or narrative cartel.
+
+
+
+
+
Closing call
+
+ Tokyo has always been a city of contradiction; hypermodern and
+ ancient, orderly and chaotic, corporate and underground, disciplined
+ and playful. That contradiction is the essential to a florishing human
+ life. ETHTokyo exists to make that contradiction productive for
+ Ethereum.
+
+ ETHTokyo (“we”, “us”, or “the event”) respects your privacy. This
+ Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it,
