Delightful news from the EF. $30,000 more in matching to support a free and open internet.
Today’s the last day to participate. Every dollar counts and no $ is too small.
@rakshitaphilip@OctantApp Thanks for donating! BTC, ETH, and transparent ZEC show up here (and in your wallet): https://t.co/B5nl7vLo64
Monero stays private by design, but it still reaches the project. 🙏
Long live internet freedom! ✊
Our community is used to quadratic funding rounds quite a bit already, but this must be the first time (?) that such a funding mechanism actually branches out of our Ethereum bubble. Exciting! Let's support them - I just participated 🖤
2/ The Ethereum Foundation will be contributing USD 30,000 to the matching pool to support an open and free internet.
Participate here.

HAPPENING NOW: We're chatting with @poojaranjan19 from @ECHInstitute, @david1casey from @FundingCommons, and @maggielove_ from @shefiorg.
Our special co-host joining @nicnode today is Alex Sotos @alexsotodigital. Alex is a governance and coordination specialist helping distributed organizations make decisions, process tensions, and learn from experience over time.
He works at the intersection of theory and practice: studying, designing, facilitating, and experimenting.
