What is ETH Canal?

ETH Canal is a year-round Ethereum platform based in Panama City. The public site highlights the 2026 conference, hackathon, and the programs that keep momentum moving after April.

When does ETH Canal 2026 happen?

• Conference: April 2026
• Hackathon: April 2026
• Follow-through runway: April to October 2026

Where is the conference?

The 2026 venue is La Manzana in Casco Viejo, Panama City.

Is there a live registration form on this site?

Not yet. For now, the best way to express interest is through the official contact channels listed below while ETH Canal rolls out deeper site features.

Why is sponsor pricing not public?

Because sponsor packaging changes with program scope, partner goals, and activation design. Public pricing looks fast, but it becomes stale and misleading quickly.

Is the community page a real directory?

Not yet. It is a curated snapshot of the ETH Canal network today, with deeper member and directory features planned as the platform grows.

Scope

This conduct baseline applies to conference sessions, hackathon activity, workshops, online spaces, mentor interactions, and partner-facing coordination tied to ETH Canal.

Core expectations

• Treat other participants with respect and professional seriousness.
• Do not harass, intimidate, threaten, or demean attendees, speakers, mentors, sponsors, or volunteers.
• Respect venue rules, session boundaries, and organizer guidance.
• Keep technical debate rigorous without turning disagreement into personal hostility.

Unacceptable behavior

• Harassment, stalking, deliberate intimidation, or discriminatory conduct
• Sustained disruption of talks, workshops, or demo sessions
• Unwanted physical contact or invasive behavior
• Bad-faith spam, fraud, or impersonation inside official ETH Canal spaces

Reporting

Use the contact paths section on this page for urgent outreach. When reporting, include what happened, where it happened, who was involved if known, and whether there is an immediate safety concern.

Enforcement

ETH Canal may warn, remove, or ban participants from the event or related spaces depending on severity and repeated behavior. Partner or sponsor status does not exempt anyone from enforcement.

Participation baseline

The ETH Canal hackathon is open to participants who follow the code of conduct and these public terms. Additional sponsor-specific prize requirements may exist later, but they must not contradict the baseline rules published here.

What teams must submit

• A public repository link
• A short product or technical demo
• A clear scope and implementation summary
• A candid description of dependencies, limitations, and current status

Judging baseline

Judging prioritizes technical quality, clarity of execution, usefulness, and alignment to the chosen track. Hype without implementation substance should not score well.

Hybrid participation

ETH Canal may support mixed online and in-person teams. Public guidance should stay clear about checkpoint timing, mentor access, and what must be available at final review.

Intellectual property

Teams are responsible for understanding the licenses, dependencies, and IP assumptions in their own projects. ETH Canal encourages open-source work where possible, but does not force a single IP model for every submission.

Awards and follow-on support

Awards, bounties, and follow-on opportunities should reward meaningful execution and maintainable outcomes. Post-event support may include partner intros, grants, or incubator pathways.

Default launch rule

The launch site does not collect submissions directly. Use the official ETH Canal channels below for contact and follow-up until live intake flows are activated.
