Devcon 8 Tickets Are Live: Find Your Path to Mumbai

For developers shipping smart contracts or working on L2 infrastructure, this is the primary annual convergence point — the schedule, the side events, and the hallway tracks shape what reaches production over the next twelve months.

Tier Mechanics

General Admission requires no application. Availability is limited. Pricing tiers increment as each wave sells through. Early purchase locks the lowest remaining price. No negotiation, no waiting list — the queue is the queue.

Discounted tracks exist for Indian residents, students, public-goods contributors, core developers, past attendees, and Sanctuary Tech builders. Most do not require an application, but inventory is capped and tickets are non-transferable. Review runs in rolling batches. Apply early or watch availability vanish.

Every confirmed ticket covers four days of conference access, on-site catering, and the Devcon 8 swag drop. No hidden line items beyond travel and lodging.

Parallel Application Surfaces

Four tracks operate alongside ticket sales.

Community Hubs reserve dedicated space for groups running workshops, roundtables, onboarding sessions, and live discussions. Hubs must be community-led. Project promotion is explicitly excluded. Acceptance runs through a Request for Proposals process on the Devcon Forum.

Supporters Program admits ecosystem projects building presence at the event. Selection favors teams whose work aligns with the CROPS principles. Review is rolling.

Impact Program grants free participation to FOSS projects, public-goods teams, and nonprofits. Application-based. Rolling review. Inquiries route to [email protected].

Speaker applications are open to everyone. No invite list. No speaker bureau. Selection criteria center on ideas that move forward the conversations around Ethereum's future. Submissions without substance get filtered. Originality is the variable that survives review.

What To Verify Before Committing

• Current wave price and remaining stock on the General Admission queue.
• Eligibility window for the discount tier matching your status.
• Community Hub RFP deadlines if you intend to run programming.
• Speaker application cutoff for the track you want to influence.
• Rolling batch review timelines for the Supporters and Impact tracks.

Devcon compresses a year of protocol discussion into four days. Attendance is a signal; speaking is a stronger one. Pick the path that matches the outcome.
