ETHGlobal Tokyo 2026 | Mini Hackathon Recap

Welcome to EthGlobal in Tokyo. This is not a conference. This weekend is a hackathon. We are happy to be in Tokyo again. The game has begun.

Everyone is focused on work. People are ready to stay awake. The stakes are high. Tokyo is like a combination of tradition and technology. We settle in and don't sleep anymore.

Today is the second day. I feel great. The atmosphere is good. I am extremely invigorated by caffeine invigorated by caffeine . I stayed in a capsule hotel for $20, and my coffee budget was 50,000.

It's exciting. This is energetic. Yes, we are tired. We are finalizing the last details. A little sad.

The clock is ticking relentlessly. I'm trying to stall for time as much as possible. This, this is so exhausting. So, this is my 35th EthGlobal hackathon. This was my first experience as a mentor experience as a mentor .

I've already lost count. I feel like I'm approaching 50. I'm stressed. I hope these ESPs don't let me down. 3 seconds to go, but yes, we, we made it.

At the last moment. There are only a few seconds left. People seem very calm this morning, which perhaps reflects the atmosphere in Tokyo and Japan in general. There are a good number of DeFi number of DeFi projects here. Many projects are related to digital assets and stablecoins, especially identification.

It's inspiring to see how people can come up with an idea on a Friday and see it through to completion in 36 hours. Build, eat, sleep, repeat. We are concluding ETHGlobal Tokyo 2026. Minasan otsukaresama deshita.
