🎟️ Tickets are live now.
🤝 Supporter applications open.
One week. 15K+ people. Showcases. Builders. And the best of Ethereum IRL.
👇 Everything you need to know
0. Last month we announced the Trillion Dollar Security (1TS) initiative: an ecosystem-wide effort to upgrade Ethereum’s security.
Today we’re releasing the first 1TS report: an overview of the existing security challenges in the Ethereum ecosystem.
0/ 🎉1 year ago, restaking protocol @ether_fi made history as the first project to fund @ProtocolGuild with a 1% token pledge.
This kickstarted a new norm to secure the future of Ethereum core development.
Here’s the impact - guest 🧵by @MikeSilagadze & @alphalemonade.

🥁🥁🥁 After an amazing two weeks in Berlin, we’re ready to share our big news. Our Epoch 8 cohort! 🥁🥁🥁
But some notes first. This was an incredibly competitive round. As we gear up for v2 and get more experimental, we made some tweaks this epoch
We defined our theme and what we wanted to fund: teams advancing Ethereum's roadmap in 4 areas
🔹 Direct protocol improvements
🔹 Shared infrastructure
🔹 Open dashboards, datasets, or studies
🔹 and finally protocol-level research and specification work
Why so specific?
This is a result of learnings from past epochs. We’ve realized having more designed themes and categories helps in selection and more importantly evaluation later. You can’t compare projects when the round and categories are vaguely defined. It would be like comparing apples and oranges.
And how’d we decide?
Because this was a more specific round, instead of a Snapshot vote, we selected the cohort through multiple internal reviews.
If you applied in this epoch, you probably noticed a more detailed application process. This was intentional so we’d be able to work with as much information as possible and more datapoints for the final selections.
We had multiple review cycles, including due diligence and technical reviews. Our selection boiled down to a few factors, including direct impact, past verifiable contributions, critical infra needs, strategic importance to Ethereum’s roadmap, and clear verifiable deliverables. With hundreds of talented applicants and only 30 spots, it was tough making this decision.
That said, we were SO impressed with everyone, and we’re feeling more bullish than ever about the future of Ethereum.
