Ethereum Kuala Lumpur 2024: Malaysia’s Multicultural Blockchain Hub to Host Global Innovators and Industry Leaders

ETHKL, Malaysia’s premier Ethereum and blockchain community-building initiative, is excited to announce ETHKL 2024, set to take place from October 4-6 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The event will unite a diverse mix of regulators, government representatives, Web3 startups, international and local enterprises, and blockchain enthusiasts to explore the future of blockchain in Malaysia and strengthen the country’s role as a global Web3 player. The event will also feature an exciting hackathon, bringing together creative minds to innovate on Ethereum.

ETHKL 2024 will be the largest gathering of blockchain developers in Malaysia, featuring a MYR150,000 prize pool and expecting 250+ hackers to build 60+ projects. The conference is set to attract nearly 2,000 attendees and will feature a stellar lineup of speakers, including a virtual session with Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin. Vitalik has long championed a global and inclusive Ethereum ecosystem, urging a focus on regions like Southeast Asia, where blockchain can drive financial inclusion and innovation.

Our goal is to convene thought leaders, innovators, and pioneers to explore new opportunities, tackle key challenges, and highlight what makes Malaysia a premier destination for blockchain projects and investments,” said Harith Danial, Lead Organizer of ETHKL 2024 and CEO of Sekto Sdn Bhd.

Over recent years, Malaysia’s blockchain landscape has made significant strides, fueled by government initiatives, including a comprehensive regulatory framework by the Securities Commission and the DE Rantau digital nomad visa, which allows international professionals to live and work in Malaysia for up to two years. ETHKL will highlight Malaysia’s commitment to creating a balanced regulatory framework while promoting blockchain and AI.

Manta Network is proudly supporting ETHKL 2024 as the title sponsor. Victor Ji, Co-Founder of Manta Network, stated, “We are proud to support ETHKL 2024 as the title sponsor. As Malaysia continues to gain recognition in the blockchain sector, we see a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with local innovators and build the future of Web3 together.” The event also benefits from the backing of Gold Sponsors Scroll and Worldcoin, whose support is key to its success and the advancement of blockchain technology in Malaysia and beyond.

ETHKL showcases Malaysia’s rising influence in the global blockchain arena and its leadership within the regional blockchain community. As a key component of the ‘Road to Devcon’ initiative—a series of events across Southeast Asia designed to build momentum and foster community engagement—ETHKL is paving the way for the global Devcon conference set for November 2024 in Bangkok.
