Tokyo, Japan — EDCON, the Ethereum Development Conference first held in 2017, will unfold in Tokyo from July 24-30. The event begins at the prestigious United Nations University and then moves to the iconic Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
EDCON 2024, timed to celebrate 10 years of Ethereum, is set to deliver an extraordinary week where technology meets spectacle, offering attendees an unparalleled blockchain and cultural experience featuring global powerhouses like Vitalik Buterin and Keisuke Honda.
Event Highlights:
- Why Tokyo? Japan’s progressive legislative updates, especially the revision of the Limited Partnership Act for Investment, highlight its dedication to nurturing a thriving ecosystem for Web3 startups. This change, enabling venture capitalists to integrate cryptocurrency assets into their portfolios, signals a bright future for local innovation and lessens dependency on overseas investments. Japan’s global blockchain leadership is underscored by regulatory progress, substantial corporate Web3 investments, and international collaboration, making it a rising hub for Web3 innovation. Partnering with the Shibuya Municipal Government, EDCON is merging blockchain advancements with Japan’s technological prowess.
- Japan’s Crypto Summer: Japan becomes the blockchain community’s focal point this summer, hosting a full month of blockchain events all July. EDCON 2024, from July 24-30, will serve as the marquee week of this exciting month.

We’re honored to host a reunion panel featuring Ethereum’s co-founders, Vitalik Buterin and Joe Lubin, who will share insights from a decade of blockchain innovations. This reunion not only celebrates past achievements but also sets the stage for future advancements.
- Cultural Showcase ft. Keisuke Honda: This year’s conference in Tokyo will feature global powerhouses such as Keisuke Honda, TripleS, and RAC, and will highlight Japanese culture with cultural icons like Ambush and Ghost in the Shell.
