Dear friends,

The AKASHA Foundation is winding down.

Throughout the years, we experimented with decentralized technologies like Ethereum and IPFS, and explored what was possible with open protocols.

Alongside the technical work, we also supported physical spaces and community events around the world. The AKASHA Hub opened in Barcelona in 2017 and has been home to local open-source communities ever since. The Urbe Hub opened in Rome in 2025 as Italy’s first web3 space, and Etherlaken followed in the Swiss Alps as a regenerative living lab. All three continue under their own stewardship.

From the software side, one project carries on as a spin-out: Ethereum TV.

The Ethereum ecosystem produces over a thousand talks a year, scattered across events and YouTube channels with no shared catalog. Ethereum TV is gathering 10,000+ of them into one searchable archive.

For the first time, you’ll be able to follow a speaker and catch every talk they give, anywhere in the world. Subscribe to a niche topic (stateless clients, post-quantum cryptography, whatever corner you care about), and every new talk on it will drop into your feed.

When you want to go deeper, there’ll be learning tracks curated by trusted Ethereum communities, and live channels streaming from your favorite events. Underneath it all, everything is preserved on decentralized storage via Permavault, ETV’s sister project.

ETV is also being built for the AI era. An MCP server will let any agent query the archive directly, and an intelligence layer will turn ten years of Ethereum talks into something you can search in plain language and summarize on demand. A decade of knowledge, finally addressable.

A few practical notes:

• AKASHA’s open source code and published research remain accessible.

• AKASHA’s communication channels will hand over to Ethereum TV. If you already follow us, no action is needed. The rebrand and new content will simply appear in your feed.

• Ethereum TV is in active development, with the launch planned for the coming months. Reach out anytime at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you!

To every researcher, designer, engineer, and contributor who shaped AKASHA with us, and to every person who passed through the hubs, attended events, and joined those special conversations along the way: THANK YOU! 🙏

We feel lucky to have been part of this chapter, and are even more excited about the future. The space is alive, the builders are bolder than ever, and the best is still ahead!

See you around! 🤜🌟🤛
