Activities include developer education, hackathons, research projects, regional roadshows, and ecological showcases to bolster local communities. The program builds on EAG\u2019s April 22 launch at the Ethereum Applications Gathering in Hong Kong, emphasizing underrepresented regions for inclusive expansion.<\/p>\n<p>EAG\u2019s efforts align with Ethereum\u2019s thriving developer base, which added over 16,000 contributors in 2025 alone, outpacing rivals.
