Ethereum for the real world. ETHis brings Ethereum builders, institutions, and industry partners into a setting built for science, technology, and serious real-world adoption. Hosted at Munich’s Deutsches Museum, we anchor the World Computer within the continuum of technological history alongside the Zuse Z3 and Apple I. From bits to atoms. Ethereum is moving beyond the digital into systems that touch assets, energy, identity, finance, governance, and public infrastructure. By leveraging Munich’s industrial density, we bridge the gap between protocol and production. Across twelve core themes—including RWA, DePIN, ZK, Stablecoins, DAOs, and d/acc—we facilitate the industrialization of trust. We build the sovereign infrastructure for a resilient global economy. --- Ethereum für die reale Welt. ETHis bringt Ethereum-Builder, Institutionen und Industriepartner in ein Umfeld für Wissenschaft, Technologie und ernsthafte Adoption. Im Deutschen Museum München verankern wir den „World Computer“ in der Technikgeschichte neben dem Zuse Z3 und Apple I. Von Bits zu Atomen. Ethereum wächst über das Digitale hinaus in Systeme für Assets, Energie, Identity, Finance, Governance und öffentliche Infrastruktur. Wir nutzen Münchens Industriedichte, um die Lücke zwischen Protokoll und Produktion zu schließen. In zwölf zentralen Themes – darunter RWA, DePIN, ZK, Stablecoins, DAOs und d/acc – industrialisieren wir Vertrauen. Wir bauen die souveräne Infrastruktur für eine resiliente Weltwirtschaft.
