We are transforming our approach to building ethereum.org. As of January 20th, we have implemented Shape Up cycles – concentrated 6-week development phases followed by 2-week cooldowns. For Cycle 1, all projects listed below are set to launch by the close of February – with no automatic transitions to the subsequent cycle.
Quick clarification: this roadmap pertains to ethereum.org the site, not Ethereum the protocol.
In our inaugural cycle, we will deliver the following projects by the end of February:
Core ethereum.org enhancements
Interactive roadmap 🛣️
Enhancing Vitalik’s Ethereum roadmap to be more accessible for beginners and interactive, supporting newcomers in grasping Ethereum’s growth and prospects.
Listen-to-learn 🎧
Integrating audio functionalities for important pages, allowing users to listen to articles instead of reading them.
Web3 integration 🔗
Introducing native Web3 features to ethereum.org for the first time – wallet connections and direct access to dapps.
Dashboard hub 📊
Establishing a central hub for essential Ethereum tracking tools and community resources. Join our Discord to recommend dashboards you believe should be featured!

Refresh of existing content
One of our main objectives is to keep our documentation aligned with Ethereum’s swift advancements. We’re undertaking a thorough update of existing content throughout the site.
