2025: Devs, Academia and Diving Deeper into the Ecosystem
With the continued evolution of the Ethereum ecosystem and shifts in our local environment, it’s clear that 2025 is shaping up to be a year of bold innovation and sustainable growth. We’re recognizing more than ever how strategic partnerships not only lay the groundwork for long-term impact, but also unlock fresh opportunities. This past quarter brought some exciting events—and the first steps toward what's next.
The public round officially wrapped up with a meetup featuring the eight selected projects. Since the goal was to onboard university students and staff through impactful initiatives, for many participants this was their first real encounter with Web3 and blockchain. The meetup provided one-on-one support as they completed their first on-chain transactions and picked up valuable insights from three projects that had previously benefited from Ethereum Tegucigalpa’s Public Goods Rounds. The meetup was a great way to onboard the project’s team members to Ethereum TGU community. 18/01
Ethereum TGU officially took the plunge last year and began contributing to ecosystem governance. Seeing the potential for meaningful impact, we wanted to create a space to encourage individual community members to explore the basics of blockchain governance, focused on ethereum protocols and learn how to get involved. 27/02.
Functor Network is a minimal keystore rollup that allows users to create cross-chain, modular session keys verified by Zero-Knowledge Proofs—an ideal solution for AI agents and users looking to upgrade from EOAs to smart accounts. As one of the most exciting projects being developed by Hondurans, we invited Doris to share her story, explain how Functor Network works, and discuss its potential impact on the ecosystem. 12/03.
There’s a surge of innovation happening in the AI space. AI agents—software programs capable of performing tasks and making decisions autonomously—can interact with Ethereum when given access to keys, opening up powerful new use cases for example on the DeFi space. In this online session, we invited César, a standout member of Ethereum Tegucigalpa and a leader of UNITEC’s blockchain club. He broke down how AI agents work, how they differ from traditional bots, highlighted some of the most notable examples, and most importantly, shared key insights on how to harness this emerging technology. 31/01.
