The Ethereum Foundation is now accepting applications for the Supporters Program for Devcon 8, which will take place from November 3 to 6, 2026, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India.
The program focuses on alignment with CROPS principles: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security. Unlike traditional sponsorship, selection is not based solely on financial contributions. Participants receive booth space and visibility at the event.
Three participation levels are available: Flagship, Core, and Starter. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with responses typically provided within approximately 15 days. The application window remains open until early September 2026.
The conference is expected to attract more than 10,000 attendees from over 130 countries, including founders, researchers, and builders. Additionally, a separate Impact Program provides free booth space and digital presence for nonprofits, public goods teams, and FOSS projects.
