Trust, support, and contact surfaces in one place.

What is ETH Canal?

ETH Canal is a year-round Ethereum platform based in Panama City. The public launch surface focuses on the 2026 conference, hackathon, and the follow-through programs that continue after the April event window.

When does ETH Canal 2026 happen?

• Conference: April 13 to 14, 2026
• Hackathon: April 6 to 18, 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 in launch v1. This site is intentionally a credible public information surface first. Direct outreach happens through the official contact channels listed below until the next intake flows are ready.

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?

No. It is an editorial community surface for launch. A real searchable directory, with submission and moderation flow, is deferred until the platform surface exists.

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.

Website launch posture

This v1 site is the public narrative layer for ETH Canal 2026. Dynamic applications, authenticated workflows, and deeper program tooling are intentionally out of scope for launch.
