DevConnect is Ethereum’s annual week of deep-dive community events. in 2025, it took place in Buenos Aires - the region where crypto actually runs day-to-day finance.

I’ve broken it down to the structural takeaways, so you can see where ETHereum is heading now:

<ul>
<li>privacy returns to the core</li>
</ul>

newly presented Kohaku (modular tooling for privacy-preserving wallets), and Tor/onion services show that Ethereum is reinforcing privacy at the protocol edge, treating user protection as priority infrastructure.

<ul>
<li>zero-knowledge for everyone</li>
</ul>

ZK tooling is no longer limited to cryptographers. developers are already integrating proofs into wallets and cross-ecosystem transfers - meaning ZK is becoming part of the standard development stack.

<ul>
<li>security evolves into a full-stack discipline</li>
</ul>

audits are still necessary, but no longer central. teams now focus on threat modeling, chain-split scenarios, monitoring, and architecture weaknesses - the real attack surface.

<ul>
<li>L1 strengthens its role, L2 carries the throughput</li>
</ul>

bigger gas limits are being considered, L2s handle the speed, and Ethereum continues its slow march toward ossification. the ecosystem is aligning around durability first, convenience second...

<ul>
<li>cross-chain UX to be finally fixed</li>
</ul>

the new Ethereum Interop Layer aims to let users act across rollups without switching networks. One signature, multiple chains.

I hope Ethereum's direction has now become clearer for you: the project is finally maturing and aligning its roadmap with how people actually use crypto today, not how it was imagined years ago 💭

أقيمت فعالية DevConnect 2025 في بوينس آيرس، مما يبرز التزام إيثريوم بالمشاركة المجتمعية والابتكار في مجال العملات المشفرة. تضمنت التطورات الرئيسية تقديم كوهكو، وهو أداة معيارية لمحافظ تحافظ على الخصوصية، وتقدمات في تقنية المعرفة الصفرية (ZK)، التي أصبحت جزءًا لا يتجزأ من ممارسات التطوير القياسية.

DevConnect 2025 se llevó a cabo en Buenos Aires, destacando el compromiso de Ethereum con la participación comunitaria y la innovación en el espacio de las criptomonedas. Los desarrollos clave incluyeron la introducción de Kohaku, una herramienta modular para billeteras que preservan la privacidad, y avances en la tecnología de conocimiento cero (ZK), que se están convirtiendo en parte integral de las prácticas de desarrollo estándar.
