Description: In mid-February, I visited ETH-iopia, a popup builders residency and hackathon in Ethiopia focused on African builders. Here's some sharings from the event, people I met, and travels in East Africa.

Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Pectra, is expected to go live in mid-March, bringing significant changes to the network. This session will cover the upgrade’s impact on users, developers, and validators—what’s new, what’s better, and why it matters.
