Road To Devcon: Eleven Weeks of Ethereum Build Battles
Welcome to 11 Weeks of Ethereum Build Battles
In 2026, Ethereum turns 11. Eleven years since a genesis block turned an experiment into the base layer for a global builder economy.
To mark it, we're running 11 weeks of Build Battles, one for every year of Ethereum's life, every weekend as part of Road to Devcon.
How it works
Build Battles run on Loops House, a solo-builder format where you use your own AI agents to build real, working dApps against a weekly problem statement, using the actual tech stack on Ethereum. Think competitive coding, but instead of solving DSA questions, you're shipping full applications, evaluated automatically against test cases including smart contract logic, RPC calls, front-end integration, all of it.
Every weekend, 3 problem statements drop. You submit a GitHub repo per statement you attempt. Every submission gets a real evaluation report, and every week ends with a live, verifiable leaderboard.
Earn Certificates and gain recognition on the leaderboard.
What you'll learn, week by week
Reading Ethereum: Go under the hood of RPCs and block explorers
Art, Culture & Ethereum in India: Bring Indian folk art, music, and craft onchain with real provenance and royalties
Smart Accounts & Gasless UX: Build blockchain interactions so simple they need no explanation
Onchain Identity: ZK-powered identity that proves without exposing
Decentralized Data Storage: Data that survives outages, censorship, and single points of failure
x402: Pay-Per-Call: Native pay-per-request infrastructure for the open web
AI and Web3: Give AI agents onchain identity and economic agency
Onchain Gaming: Web3 incentive design meets India's street-game instincts
Prediction Markets: Build transparent, trustless forecasting infrastructure
Privacy on Ethereum: Stealth, ZK proofs, and deceptive-defense-inspired security

Finish the series with 11 weeks of shipped, verifiable GitHub work, right before Devcon 8 🦾
Eleven years of Ethereum. Eleven weekends of building. One road to Mumbai. One road to Devcon.
