Your ETHDenver Account is your personalized gateway to all things ETHDenver. It includes a unique subdomain that acts as your own URL and wallet address within the ETHDenver ecosystem, allowing you to easily return to your event dashboard, manage your activities, and keep track of event updates. With this Account, you can interact securely within the ETHDenver community, engage with dApps approved by ETHDenver, and manage your event experience smoothly every year.

Your Account = Your Wallet.

The Account includes a non-custodial, account-abstracted wallet (ERC-4337), providing enhanced security by allowing interactions only with ETHDenver-approved addresses and vetted dApps. Created with your email as the sole signing authority, this wallet ensures full user control without intermediaries.

Previously, ETHDenver did not require attendees to create an account, but this led to onboarding challenges and support complexities. The new account setup helps streamline support, simplifies onboarding, and provides a secure, user-friendly experience for the ETHDenver community. Starting with ETHDenver 2025, we’ve partnered with MyUnicornAccount.com to offer a non-custodial smart contract wallet that is tied to your ETHDenver Account (powered by thirdweb).

Our goal is to provide the SporkDAO community with:

- A safe and simple wallet that can be used every year without worries about phishing or privacy concerns.
- No need for keyphrase management!
- Easy access to web3, especially for newcomers.
- The latest in account abstraction and ENS to simplify onboarding.
- A wallet that grows with users as they become more sophisticated.
- An ethdenver.com subdomain that doubles as a human-readable wallet address.

Your ETHDenver Account subdomain, or username, serves as both a URL and a human-readable wallet address. It’s similar to a peer-to-peer Venmo username but exclusive to the ETHDenver community.

This wallet is built for safety— only approved accounts and contracts can interact with it. Our partner, MyUnicornAccount.com, has teamed up with ENS and Namespace to provide free subdomain management for ETHDenver users.

1. Set Up Your ETHDenver Account: Start by creating your ETHDenver Account and Wallet at ethdenver.com/tickets. This account will be your central hub for everything ETHDenver, including your application, tickets, and event updates.

2. Complete the Application in Your Account: Once your account is created, navigate to the application section within your ETHDenver dashboard and complete the form with your details.Submit and Wait for

3. Confirmation: After submitting your application, ETHDenver organizers will review it and you will be notified by email when your application is approved.

Use the same email for everything ETHDenver. When you create your Account with an email, that same email will need to be used to submit your application within your Account. We recommend using your personal email rather than a corporate account to ensure that you always have access to your ETHDenver account and associated benefits, even if you change jobs or lose access to your work email.

To claim your ticket, use the default account listed on Moongate, which will be set to your ETHDenver Account by default. This ensures that your ticket and related event access are automatically connected to the ETHDenver wallet you set up, streamlining your event check-in and access.

If you already have a wallet, great! You can use it to confirm your SporkDAO membership, and we will create an ETHDenver Account for you. This Account will be your way to access ETHDenver activations before and after the event.

ETHDenver is a web3 event, and we believe in using the decentralized technologies our community builds and supports.

If you’ve attended ETHDenver in the past and have staked $SPORK or $sSPORK, there’s no need to move them. You will just need to use your existing wallet to confirm ownership.

The ETHDenver wallet is an account abstracted wallet (ERC-4337), offering significant security benefits. Only ETHDenver-approved addresses can interact with your wallet, providing a secure environment free from phishing and other risks.

ETHDenver retains ownership of the subdomains but grants active SporkDAO members access to them. If you violate the community’s code of conduct, we reserve the right to deactivate your subdomain. However, even if your subdomain is deactivated, you will still retain ownership of the assets in your wallet. In such cases, you can contact MyUnicornAccount.com to regain access.

If you’re having issues staking, try refreshing your tools and attempting the process again— this often resolves the problem. If issues persist, please check our updated FAQ on the homepage for further guidance, or reach out to support on Discord for additional assistance.
