The heartbeat of innovation is moving south to Buenos Aires.
This November, the vibrant capital of Argentina becomes the epicenter of Ethereum development as ETHGlobal Buenos Aires welcomes builders, dreamers, and founders from around the world. Polygon Labs is going all-in to make sure every builder there gets the opportunity to create, connect, and push the boundaries of what’s possible on-chain.
Polygon is not just showing up it’s investing directly in builders. With $10,000 in prizes dedicated to Polygon projects and free accommodation for 150 selected developers, the team is ensuring that great ideas don’t get held back by logistics or cost. It’s an open invitation to anyone who believes the next chapter of Web3 should be built on scalable, sustainable, and user-centric infrastructure.
Why ETHGlobal Matters
ETHGlobal events are not just hackathons. They’re ecosystems condensed into a single weekend where ideas are born, protocols are tested, and entire teams form overnight.
Some of today’s leading Web3 startups began as ETHGlobal prototypes. The energy is electric, the collaboration is real, and the innovation is non-stop.
Buenos Aires adds a unique layer to that story.
Latin America is one of the most active crypto regions in the world from DeFi adoption to on-chain payments and digital identity. By bringing the global Ethereum community to this region, ETHGlobal bridges global innovation with local passion, helping ideas scale from a hackathon project to a production-ready protocol.
Polygon’s Mission: Building the On-Chain World
Polygon has evolved into the foundational layer for Web3 scalability.
From Polygon PoS to zkEVM, and now the AggLayer, the vision remains the same to unify liquidity, scale blockchains, and make the on-chain world frictionless.
At ETHGlobal Buenos Aires, Polygon will showcase how developers can harness this stack to build applications that reach millions without compromising decentralization or speed.
Expect workshops, technical deep dives, and mentorship sessions from the Polygon Labs engineering and developer-relations teams.
For builders, this is a chance to get hands-on guidance:
How to integrate zk proofs into existing applications
How to deploy cross-chain dApps through the AggLayer
How to bring your protocol to mainnet with Polygon’s ecosystem support
$10,000 in Prizes + Accommodation Support
To fuel creativity and innovation, Polygon is offering:
💰 $10,000 in total prizes for the best projects built on Polygon’s technology stack.
Free accommodation for 150 developers, ensuring that talent not travel budgets defines participation.
Whether you’re building DeFi primitives, gaming experiences, identity frameworks, or AI-driven agents, Polygon’s infrastructure is designed to help you build faster, cheaper, and more securely.
Why You Should Be There
ETHGlobal Buenos Aires isn’t just another event it’s a launchpad for the next generation of builders. It’s where narratives are born, teams are formed, and ecosystems expand.
With Polygon’s full-stack commitment technical mentorship, funding, and ecosystem integration builders have everything they need to turn weekend prototypes into lasting products.
So pack your ideas, bring your laptop, and get ready to code where the Andes meet the Ethereum network.
Polygon is heading to Buenos Aires.
And this time, the builders are leading the way.
