ethdevnews was curated Ethereum news focused on developers (core & application), published by Andrew B Coathup (former editor of Week in Ethereum News). It had a limited run of 5 issues in August 2025. Thank you for being a subscriber.

In 2026, the beloved ritual of receiving an inked passport stamp at a country’s port of entry is fading into the rearview mirror. Much of North America and Asia-Pacific stopped issuing stamps years ago, and Europe’s Schengen region is now transitioning to a fully digital, biometric entry-and-exit system, leaving travelers without a physical reminder of where they’ve been. The POAP Airport Rally offers a way to reconnect with that tradition. Starting January 1st 2026, travelers can mint a unique, commemorative POAP using POAP’s GPS minting feature at over 100 participating airports around the world. Each POAP carries artwork that is unique to that airport, and a special piece of trivia to help travelers connect with the places they are passing through. This POAP is distributed via POAP Airship, and serves as one of the qualifying tokens that unlocks participation in the POAP Airport Rally.

Celebramos el ASAdao de ETH Cinco de Mayo en su forma más descentralizada posible: sin permisos, sin jerarquías y sin esperar a nadie. Cada builder, cada frutero, cada dev y cada soñador aporta su propio bloque a esta cadena de comunidad. Hoy festejamos la alegría de juntarnos, compartir código, mezcal, ideas locas y sazón mexicano, pero al estilo web3: abierto, distribuido y absolutamente nuestro. Este ASAdao no tiene dueños—lo que tiene es contribuciones. No tiene jefes—pero sí liderazgo colectivo. No está en un solo lugar—vive en todos los que seguimos construyendo desde donde estemos. ETH Cinco de Mayo no es un evento, es un movimiento… y el ASAdao es la prueba viva de que la cultura también se descentraliza. ¡Salud por quienes mantienen la llama prendida y por la banda que no deja de buildear! 🌶️🧵🟩✨

You’ve met a Curvegrid team member in Argentina! The Leaders – The Circle of Origin: The Leaders are the visionaries of the chain, those who stand at the edge of chaos and weave direction out of entropy. The orange circle represents their eternal role as the cycle of creation and renewal. Without leaders, the blockchain is merely code without cause. These are the CEOs, CTOs, directors, and founders who dare to summon communities around a spark of an idea. They are remembered as node-oracles, wielding conviction like flame, carving paths through the unknown. In the endless flood of noise, their power lies in clarity and conviction, binding many into one shared future. To the Leaders, governance is not merely politics – it is the art of setting protocols into motion and guiding networks toward destiny. There are 7 POAPs to collect in this series, all with hidden messages. Can you collect them all and decipher them? Check us out at https://link3.to/curvegrid

You’ve met a Curvegrid team member in Argentina! The Creators – The Triangle of Imagination: The Creators are the keepers of beauty on-chain, the ones who give soul to code. The green triangle is their mark: a symbol of growth, vision, and ascension. Without their touch, blockchains would be barren ledgers; with them, they become realms of culture, art, and meaning. These are the designers, artists, and storytellers who shape the experiences that humans cherish. They wield aesthetics as weapons, blending cryptography with creativity, producing artifacts that endure beyond block time. The Creators turn cold smart contracts into living myths – NFTs, digital worlds, and memes that ripple across chains like magic sigils. For them, every block mined is a canvas, every transaction a brushstroke in the grand art of decentralization. There are 7 POAPs to collect in this series, all with hidden messages.

You’ve met the Curvegrid team at ETHGlobal Buenos Aires! Ethereum – The Sigil of Unity: Ethereum is the realm where all factions converge. Leaders set visions upon it, Creators give it soul, Builders forge its foundations, and Uniters weave its networks. The Electors shape its direction through collective will, while the Defenders guard its integrity from the shadows. Here, Curvegrid stands as conductor, bridging technologies and empowering every faction to thrive together. Ethereum is not just a platform — it is the flame of unity that makes Web3 whole.
