Permanent hub at Frontier Tower opens as a key node in the social & curatorial layer of Ethereum.

SAN FRANCISCO — July 2, 2025 — The Ethereum House, a grant-funded initiative backed by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), officially opens today on a full floor of Frontier Tower in downtown San Francisco. Launching just weeks before Ethereum marks its tenth anniversary on July 30, the space is conceived as the network’s “Schelling Point” for the coming decade, bringing together builders, researchers, and investors to accelerate application-layer breakthroughs and community coordination as artificial intelligence and decentralized technologies converge.

Located in a 16-story “vertical village” dedicated to emerging technologies, Frontier Tower is the first node in a growing network and home to pioneers in AI, robotics, biotech, and longevity. This cross-pollination creates an unparalleled environment for collaboration, reflecting Ethereum’s belief that the future of the protocol lies in integration—not isolation—with other frontier industries. The Frontier Tower community is evolving into an inter-city network society, a social-tech experiment that echoes Ethereum’s vision of open, decentralized coordination.

“SF is back, and it has become the hub for both the AI acceleration and d/acc movements. I expect the Ethereum House at Frontier Tower to become a hub for the city’s Ethereum builders – a place with a distinct flavor of deep reflection on AI, automation, privacy, and censorship resistance.” said Tomasz Stańczak, Co-Executive Director at the Ethereum Foundation

“At Frontier Tower, we believe the future of communities is open, programmable, and shaped by those who inhabit them. Ethereum’s ethos of decentralization and permissionless innovation aligns perfectly with our vision of an inter-city network society. We’re excited to help shape Ethereum House together with the Ethereum Foundation.” — Jakob Drzaga, Cofounder and CEO of Frontier Tower

Co-led by seasoned investors Gokhan Er (Lantern Capital) and Mia Deng, Ethereum House will:

• Serve as a Community Third Space – hosting salons, meetups, and public forums that foster authentic human connection in an increasingly digital world.

• Act as a Curatorial Layer – distilling the most meaningful research and projects for a global audience through talks, office hours, and AI-assisted publications.

• Power a Vibrant Hacker Space – launching with OrangeDAO as the inaugural cohort, whose founders will prototype new ventures, collaborate with EF scientists during dedicated office hours, and pitch leading VCs under one roof.

Starknet Foundation and Altlayer are joining Ethereum House as the founding sponsors and helping with the design of the space and agenda.
