ETHDenver curated: Top events to check out during the ‘Year of the Regenerates’

Web3 engagement platform Belong has prepared a list of top events to look out for during the week of ETHDenver 2025.

ETHDenver opened its doors on Feb. 23 in its namesake Colorado city to bring together developers, investors and business executives to discuss blockchain innovation shaped around Ethereum. The National Western Complex is housing hundreds of side events held under the main slogan of “Year of The Regenerates” till March 2, giving builders, VCs, and startups a chance to network, exchange ideas, and consider new collaborations.

Belong, a Web3 platform for tokenization and AI-powered events, properties and engagement campaigns, has curated an event guide to help attendees identify priority sessions, complete their networking goals, and engage with event organizers.

As a Cointelegraph Accelerator participant, Belong turns real-life social interactions into digital records that can be verified by combining onchain engagement with in-person participation.

During the week of ETHDenver, Belong invites participants to explore events and collect digital prizes along the way by gathering stickers and earning non-fungible token (NFT) rewards.

To take part, users need to follow four simple steps:

• Find NFC stickers at ETHDenver partner events.
• Scan with a smartphone.
• Receive a gasless NFT in your wallet.
• Gather all rewards to get the final prize.

This initiative bridges the gap between offline experiences and Web3 engagement, demonstrating the potential of tokenized event participation.
