CryptoMondays London

Welcome to CryptoMondays London. Not just a meetup but a movement. Builders. Founders. Investors. Creators. Curious minds. Connecting IRL to shape the future of Web3. Born in NYC. Built in London. Now part of a global network spanning 50+ cities worldwide. Every month, over 100 people join us in iconic London venues to share ideas, make friends, and build the next chapter of decentralized tech, together. We’ve partnered with some of the most respected names in Web3, bridging crypto, community & culture. If you’re new here welcome to the fam. 👋 Stay plugged in for events, panels & drops ⬇️ manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/… Huge thanks to @Flight3official and @HarryHorsfall_ for capturing what CML is all about in this video, you nailed it. 🙏 #ProofOfCommunity

Ethereum: what actually went down? Here’s a recap on what we unpacked at our CML x @ETHLDN event 1. Ethereum’s vision has changed over time Ethereum started with a much broader vision around local-first apps, dApp browsers, and everyday non-financial use cases. But as the ecosystem grew, the focus shifted heavily toward protocol design, scaling, and keeping the base layer functional under pressure. 2. L2s solved a real problem but not without tradeoffs The rise of rollups helped Ethereum scale in a way the base layer couldn’t at the time. But while L2s improved speed and usability, they also introduced new concerns around sequencer centralisation, infrastructure complexity, and whether they’re adding enough value beyond just scaling. 3. Ethereum’s roadmap is still evolving A big theme of the night was that Ethereum is still very much a moving target. Priorities shift as research develops, new constraints emerge, and better solutions appear. 4. The strongest blockchain use cases are still pretty concentrated There was broad agreement that the clearest product-market fit today is still in money and identity. Payments, tokenisation, stablecoins, and naming/identity layers like ENS continue to stand out. 5. Zero-knowledge tech is powerful, but the practical limits still matter ZK continues to be one of the most important pieces of Ethereum’s future because it enables both scalability and privacy. But the conversation also made clear that while the theory is exciting, a lot of use cases especially around ZKML and media verification are still early and need major improvements before they become truly scalable. 6. AI and crypto are starting to intersect in a more practical way One of the more interesting takeaways was that AI might be finding real product-market fit in crypto through payments infrastructure. 7. Ethereum’s next upgrades are really about efficiency A lot of the discussion around upcoming forks came back to one thing: using Ethereum’s block space and timing more efficiently. Upgrades like EPBS and block-level access lists are less about flashy narratives and more about reducing wasted capacity, improving throughput, and making the chain work better under the hood. 8. Censorship resistance is still one of the hardest real problems FOCIL sparked one of the biggest tensions in the room. The goal is to reduce censorship risk by giving more parties the ability to force transactions into blocks. But that opens difficult questions around block builders, compliance, regulation, and whether decentralisation can really hold up under political and legal pressure. 9. In the long run, users may not care which chain they’re on A strong closing theme was that most users probably won’t choose products based on chain loyalty. What will matter is whether the experience is fast, cheap, reliable, and intuitive. Massive thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who joined us for such a thoughtful conversation. Now over to you 👇 What’s your biggest takeaway on where Ethereum is heading next?

London Web3 scene was alive and kicking this week. @CML_LDN × @ETHLDN in the City, then @SuperteamUK’s Solana birthday. Always great to spend time with good people in the space, especially @KaitlinArgeaux @CapinUK @Chewie_xo. Onwards.

What’s next for Ethereum? After last night, one thing is clear, the future isn’t a straight line. Huge thank you to everyone who joined our CML x @ETHLDN special edition. We kicked things off with a series of sharp lightning talks, breaking down zkEVMs, post-quantum signatures, and Ethereum’s evolution from then → now → next. Then we moved into a fireside chat, unpacking the bigger questions around Ethereum’s roadmap, protocol ossification, and long-term resilience. Massive thanks to our speakers: @DeclanFox14, @roxananasoi, @monsieur_kus, @kevaundray, @james_zaki for the amazing insight you brought to the room. Thank you to our co-host @ETHLDN and our sponsors @Bybit_Official, @_vault12_, @CUDOS_, @reedsmithllp, your support makes this possible. And of course, thank you to the entire CML team and everyone who showed up. Now over to you: Where do you think Ethereum is heading next?

Any resemblance to the Breakfast Club is purely coincidental. London maxxing last night. Thanks for hosting us @CML_LDN & Ade (podcast host). Great questions from the participants, hope to chat more next time. 🙏 Thanks to fellow panelists James Kev Michael and @DeclanFox14

Happy Birthday @solana If you're currently live with us at the event, the sol party is a 3 mins walk down the block. Make sure not to miss it

Ethereum won the smart contract race. But the real question now is: What comes next? Forks are coming. zkVMs are gaining momentum. And the debate around protocol ossification is getting louder. So where is Ethereum actually heading? Tonight at our special edition event with @ETHLDN , we’re bringing builders together to break all of it down. 📅 March 16 | London 🔗 RSVP: luma.com/88n45anq Livestream will be available. Don't miss it

Recap of our Europe 2025. Three countries. Countless conversations shaping the future of Web3. Here's where we showed up: 🇫🇷 France ↳ Paris Blockchain Week @ParisBlockWeek — one of Europe's premier blockchain gatherings ↳ EthCC Cannes @EthCC — deep dialogue with the Ethereum builder community ↳ NFL Flag Football alongside @SuperteamUK & @parismusketeers, because the best connections happen off the main stage 🇮🇹 Italy ↳ Blockchain Game Alliance @BGameAlliance — at the forefront of gaming and onchain innovation ↳ Pitch-side at AC Milan vs Bayern Munich, an unforgettable experience, thanks to of Gate.io 🇬🇧 United Kingdom ↳ Zebu Live @Zebu_live — in conversation with some of the sharpest minds in the space ↳ Black Tech Day @blacktechday — championing diversity and excellence in tech ↳ Crypto Monday London @CML_LDN — where the London Web3 community comes together ↳ Brunel Hack — investing in the next generation of Web3 builders ↳ Superteam UK @SuperteamUK — community-first, always The European Web3 ecosystem is maturing fast.

@defidojo_ @ETHLDN March 16th

@CML_LDN @ETHLDN oh yeh, sign me up!! Which dates, hopefully not when I will be away..

Something special is coming this March 👀 For the next CML event, we’re teaming up with @ETHLDN for a special co-hosted edition focused entirely on Ethereum: The Next Fork in the Road. Ethereum is evolving again. With a major fork on the horizon, conversations are growing around protocol ossification, zkVMs, and long-term quantum resistance. The big question is: What does Ethereum’s future actually look like? Whether you’re new to Ethereum or not, this is one discussion you’ll want to be in the room for. More details dropping soon.

londonmaxxing isn't new for some. Ethereum's ecosystem has always bet on London. from Devcon 1 in 2015, to 2026 with our community hub opening. and that's what our @EFetheverywhere hub is all about. enabling the builder economy of London, for tech, creativity, and culture. if you want to swing by, drop me a DM.

londonmaxxing since 2018 👌🏼 @CML_LDN

Took you long enough. Londonmaxxing was always the alpha 🇬🇧
