How to work on ethereum.org

If you wish to contribute in the Translation Program, we ask you to create an account on Crowdin (opens in a new tab). For everything else – adding or editing content or visuals to the website, fixing bugs, working on open tasks – you will need a GitHub (opens in a new tab) account.

All updates are made via the GitHub PR process. This means you create a local copy of the website, make your changes and request to merge your changes. If you've never done this before, follow the instructions at the bottom of our GitHub repository (opens in a new tab).

You don't need permission to work on anything, but it's always best to let us know what you're planning to do. You can do this by:

Commenting on an issue or PR in GitHub (opens in a new tab)
Messaging on our Discord server (opens in a new tab)

Before contributing, make sure you're familiar with:

How decisions about the site are made

Decisions about individual PRs, design evolution and major upgrades are made by a team from across the Ethereum ecosystem. This team includes project managers, developers, designers, marketing and communications, and subject matter experts. Community input informs every decision: so please raise questions in issues, submit PRs, or contact the team:

A note on plagiarism

Only use your original work or content that you have permission to use when contributing any content or artifact to ethereum.org. Many projects within the Ethereum ecosystem use open-source licensing that allows for the free sharing of information. However, if you cannot find this information, do not attempt to add it to ethereum.org. Any pull requests deemed as plagiarism will get rejected.

We have low barrier to entry issues on our GitHub repository specifically designed for developers who are new to open-source labelled good first issue (opens in a new tab).

If your contribution gets merged into ethereum.org, you will have a chance to claim a special badge on Galxe (opens in a new tab). An Onchain Achievement Token (OAT) is a proof that you helped make the ecosystem a little more awesome.
