ETHDam is a conference and hackathon hosted for the 3d time in Amsterdam, at Pakhuis de Zwijger on the 9-11 of May 2025! This edition is dedicated to Privacy, Security and AI. We look forward to welcome you as a hacker or as a conference guest! 🤗

CryptoCanal has been offering education, events and consultancy services since 2019. We began organizing larger conferences during Devconnect 2022, launching ETHDay and DeFiDay. This laid the groundwork for the first ETHDam in 2023, focused on DeFi and Privacy. In 2024, we hosted the second edition of ETHDam, growing our impact, and now we’re excited to welcome you to ETHDam III in 2025!

Everything is powered by a small, tight team of passionate people wanting to leave their mark in this beautiful decentralised ecosystem, by bringing people together and organising powerful hackathons.

💪 + an army of volunteers, mentors, advisors and enthusiasts, helping us shape this conference and hackathon for you.

We know, this is THE MOST important factor for you all! 😋 Just like during our previous editions, we will offer drinks, and catering to all attendees and hackers.

In the morning and throughout the day, you will have some refreshing beverages and small snacks. For lunch, you can expect a lunch buffet inside the venue. At 6pm, expect a traditional Dutch borrel. 🍻 Dinner is reserved to the hackers only (which can also crash and hack all night).

Vegetarian food will be available. However, if you have specific allergies, please check with the kitchen to ensure it meets your dietary needs. Otherwise, you will need to arrange your own food.

This is reserved for our hackathon partners. Please respect the dedicated hackathon areas which are reserved for hackers, don't bug them (they have enough bugs to solve).

Only if you are part of one of the sponsors of the event. They are the only ones who have permission to do that, depending on their sponsorship tier.

Hackers will be able to crash at the venue on Friday and Saturday night. Everyone else should make their own arrangements for accommodation. Please note that Amsterdam has plenty of tourism all year round, which means high occupation in hotels and hostels, so try and book your reservations in advance (=book ASAP).

We’ve partnered with DeTrip to make your stay in Amsterdam more convenient!

Alternatively, we made a p2p Housing Tool, try your luck, maybe someone can host you!
