Beyond technology: Ethereum as the philosophy by Sasha Shilina | Devcon SEA

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

In this talk, we dive into the philosophical foundations of Ethereum, bridging blockchain principles with ideas from ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary thought. We’ll unpack Ethereum's conceptual roots—shaped by cyberpunk, solarpunk, crypto-anarchism, technolibertarianism, and more—to reveal how each contributes to Ethereum’s vision of a reimagined society.
