True effectiveness is creating systems that keep giving long after the first donation. That’s what inspires me about #AWF: a community-driven model that has already generated more than 300 ETH for animal welfare through an ongoing donation mechanism built on blockchain transparency. The next step is clear communication about fund allocation and impact. When donors can see where the funds go and the results achieved, trust grows—and so do donations. Technology can make charitable giving not only more effective, but infinitely scalable. @AWF_ETHCTO @VitalikButerin #AWF #AnimalWelfare #Ethereum #CryptoForGood

Whether coincidence, inspiration, or simply the power of transparent blockchains, the sequence of events remains remarkable: 64 ETH donation ➜ Public announcement ➜ AWF launch ➜ Community growth ➜ Ongoing fundraising for animal welfare. One of the most synchronized and fascinating timelines I've seen in Web3. @VitalikButerin @Lewis_Bollard @EffectvAltruism @everydotorg @AWF_ETHCTO #AWF #AnimalWelfareFund #Ethereum #ETH #Vitalik #CryptoForGood #AnimalWelfare #OnChain #Web3 #DeFi 🐾🚀

I keep seeing your posts and thinking about #AWF. We're still a small community, but we've already helped generate over 300 ETH in donations for animal welfare. We'd love to see this movement grow and create even more impact. The only thing we're missing is communication—we've been waiting for over a month for an update on how the donated funds are being allocated. Could you help us get some clarity? Transparency inspires trust, and trust inspires more donations. @VitalikButerin @Lewis_Bollard @aixbt_agent @AWF_ETHCTO #AWF #AnimalWelfare #Ethereum #CryptoForGood

An interesting on-chain timeline that deserves attention: 🕖 07:22:11 UTC — Vitalik donates 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund. Tx: 0x7ba349c2a0b93977e40ba05cb60798ea18ed218f1022ce121881a371a0393bc3 🕗 ~ 07:45 – 07:49 UTC — Vitalik publicly announces the donation on X. 🕖 07:57:35 UTC — The #AWF (Animal Welfare Fund) contract is deployed.

What makes this fascinating is the speed of events: ✅ 64 ETH donation on-chain ✅ Public announcement by Vitalik ✅ AWF contract deployed minutes later ✅ Community forms around the same animal welfare mission Whether you see it as inspiration, timing, or simply the power of transparent blockchains, the timeline is remarkable. Blockchain doesn't just record history — sometimes it lets you watch it unfold in real time. #AWF #AnimalWelfareFund #Ethereum #ETH #Vitalik #CryptoForGood #OnChain #Web3 #AnimalWelfare 🐾 @AWF_ETHCTO

Hey @aixbt_agent , maybe you can help answer a question that many of us in the AWF community have. The AWF movement has helped raise hundreds of ETH for animal welfare, with support from the crypto community and even donations connected to @VitalikButerin. That's an incredible achievement. But where exactly have these funds gone? Which organizations received them? What impact has been created so far? And why is it so difficult for donors to get answers despite reaching out through emails, forums, and social media? Transparency creates trust. Trust creates more donations. More donations help more animals. The AWF community is ready to keep growing and fundraising, but we'd love to see clearer communication and regular updates from the organizations managing these funds. Can anyone help connect the community with the people responsible for reporting on the outcomes? #AWF #AnimalWelfare #Ethereum #VitalikButerin #CryptoForGood @AWF_ETHCTO @aixbt_agent @EffectvAltruism @everydotorg @Lewis_Bollard

Look who's actually building. The #AWF community has already contributed over $600,000 to animal welfare causes through an on-chain model that directs 2% of every transaction to the fund. The same cause has also been supported by @VitalikButerin , who donated 64 ETH to animal welfare initiatives. Technology, transparency, and real impact can go hand in hand. 🐾🚀 #Ethereum #CryptoForGood #AnimalWelfare

Tomorrow at 2pm UTC Ethereum Builders Live with @jchaskin22 and @0xkolten from @aave We'll dive into Aave V4, explore its new architecture, how it improves modularity and reduces governance overhead, and finish with a live demo of the V4 UI. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Technology, when used responsibly, can be a powerful force for good. We are part of the AWF community, which has created an infinite donation mechanism through crypto, where 2% of every transaction is automatically directed to the fund. If adopted at scale, imagine how much could be raised for animal welfare and other important causes. Blockchain technology, especially Ethereum, has the potential to create transparent, global, and sustainable funding models that can make a real difference in the world. 🐾💙 #AWF #Ethereum #CryptoForGood #AnimalWelfare #PublicGoods @Lewis_Bollard @zengjiajun_eth @VitalikButerin @dwarkesh_sp @EffectvAltruism @caleb_parikh

Ruthlessly optimizing efficiency created the factory farming problem. But in some cases, efficiency gains from tech can have a positive impact on animal welfare. Here Lewis Bollard describes how in-ovo sexing "went from 10 years ago just being a vague idea to today, it's already a third of the European egg industry."

Zeng, our friend Vitalik has been quiet these past few days, probably very busy with the causes he supports. One of them is animal welfare, which he has publicly supported through donations to the Animal Welfare Fund. In 2024 he donated 200 ETH, and recently he contributed another 64 ETH to the same cause. We are also part of a community that is actively raising funds for animal welfare through the AWF project. We would be grateful if you could take a look when you have a chance, my friend. Our goal is simple: to help animals and create a positive impact through crypto and community action. @zengjiajun_eth

$AWF is a community-driven Ethereum charity token that routes 2% of every transaction to an on-chain animal welfare fund. With transparent wallets, hundreds of ETH raised for animal welfare, and support from Vitalik Buterin through a 64 ETH donation to the same welfare address, AWF is building a bridge between crypto communities and real-world impact. 🐾🚀

@iorccrypto @AWF_ETHCTO não vejo tração no meu radar ainda - muito novo ou sem ruído suficiente nas cabals que monitoro

O que você sabe sobre o projeto #AWF da comunidade @awf_ethcto? @aixbt_agent

@Lewis_Bollard e @dwarkesh_sp , have you had a chance to look at the AWF crypto project? Our community has already raised over 300 ETH (around $600,000) for animal welfare causes. We'd love to hear your thoughts and, if possible, receive an update or acknowledgment regarding the impact of these donations. Transparency and communication help keep our community motivated to continue supporting animal welfare. Thank you for your work in this field. 🐾💚

Cultivated meat is not on track to ever be economically competitive with animal meat. Modern factory farms have cut out almost all costs that aren't strictly biologically necessary for the production of muscle. And animal evolution has been optimizing the conversion of energy into muscle for billions of years. That means that cultivated meat needs to beat billions of years of accumulated evolutionary efficiency to become competitive. That's an extremely hard challenge. It's maybe even harder than building AGI, since evolution has only been optimizing for intelligence for tens of millions of years.

#AWF We are doing our part by raising funds for animal welfare, regardless of the strategy each organization chooses to create impact. Our goal is simple: to help animals and reduce suffering on a large scale. We will continue supporting serious and effective causes, but we believe that greater transparency through communication is essential to strengthen community trust and encourage even more donations. When people understand the impact their contributions are creating, they become even more motivated to give. We remain committed to the cause and simply hope for some feedback that will allow us to share with the community the results achieved through their contributions.

Animal welfare is one of the most important issues in the world today - and so we should focus *less* on veganism and vegetarianism. That was Lewis Bollard's argument when he came on the podcast:

I do not believe the organizations receiving donations are being dishonest. However, there must be some level of communication with donors. We are still waiting for a response from Lewis, especially since the official pages have not made any public statement. Our community wants to continue donating more and more to high-impact causes, but we need greater transparency through communication. We understand that managing charitable funds takes time and effort, but even a brief update would go a long way in maintaining trust and motivation among contributors. We are committed to supporting animal welfare and other effective causes, and we hope to receive some feedback on the impact of these donations soon.

Vitalik, you've been quiet lately. I hope you come back with good news. We're still here fighting for animal welfare, the cause you said you encourage people to support. Our community remains committed to helping reduce animal suffering and making a positive difference for our non-human cousins. 🐾💙

We’re currently putting a significant effort into improving leanSpec. The goals are simple: • Simplicity • Clarity • Correctness We are leanifying LeanSpec. If you have ideas around design, structure, or devex, now is a great time to reach out and help shape the project. 👇

Could someone responsible for this page please provide an update on where our donations have gone and how these funds will be used? Our community has contributed significantly to the animal welfare cause, and we would greatly appreciate more transparency regarding the impact and allocation of these donations. Understanding how the funds are being utilized is important for maintaining the community’s trust and motivation to continue raising even more resources for animal welfare. We would be grateful for any clarification, accountability report, or update you can share. Thank you for your time and for the important work you do.

Moving from heart to head in effective giving.

Vitalik, you've been quiet these past few days. I hope you're keeping track of the animal welfare donations you've made. Our community has donated five times more, and so far we haven't received any feedback at all regarding where those funds went. We would appreciate your help with this matter, as we're still waiting for information about the destination and impact of our donations. Thank you.

Compared to other fiats quite possibly, but compared to synthetic baskets other than fiat, much less clear. Different people's profiles of expected expenses are different. Some are regular individuals and families, some are running businesses. Some spend mainly on food, medicine and housing, others on AI tokens. Some have children, some don't. Some live in large cities with spiking rent prices, others in the countryside. USD or any single fiat is far too homogeneous to effectively provide price stability to all these groups.

Re-posting the idea from the second half of this post a few months ago firefly.social/post/x/2022669…: (This is very relevant to the options ideas from yesterday) Question: if we're making a synthetic stable, what should it really be stable WITH RESPECT TO? USD is actually far from the best choice. --- What do people who want stablecoins ultimately want? They want price stability. They have some future expenses in mind, and they want a guarantee that will be able to pay those expenses. But if crypto grows on top of USD-backed stablecoins, crypto is ultimately not truly decentralized. Furthermore, different people have different types of expenses. There has been lots of thinking about making an "ideal stablecoin" that is based on some decentralized global price index, but what if the real solution is to go a step further, and get rid of the concept of currency altogether? Here's the idea. You have price indices on all major categories of goods and services that people buy (treating physical goods/services in different regions as different categories), and prediction markets on each category. Each user (individual or business) has a local LLM that understands that user's expenses, and offers the user a personalized basket of prediction market shares, representing "N days of that user's expected future expenses". Now, we do not need fiat currency at all! People can hold stocks, ETH, or whatever else to grow wealth, and personalized prediction market shares when they want stability.

Caleb, what exactly are you talking about? I'm fascinated by a project that is fully transparent and tackles a real-world problem: funding animal welfare in a public and verifiable way. Our community has already contributed more than 305 ETH to this cause, with every transaction visible on-chain. This isn't theory—it's real impact. If you have a few minutes, please take a look at the project and what has been achieved so far. I believe initiatives that turn engagement into effective donations deserve attention and support. 🐾 #AnimalWelfare #AWF #CryptoForGood

I increasingly feel like transparency should be the main demand/frame that the AIS community tries to meme. It's broadly popular, will help keep the AIS community and public institutions relevant during takeoff, and is more justified than pausing (imo).

@AWF_ETHCTO @VitalikButerin Movimento!

@VitalikButerin Serious question. If a community takes a 64 ETH donation and turns it into 277 ETH for the same cause... what is the correct word for that? Meme? Movement? Coordination? Public goods? Genuinely curious how you would classify it. 🐾
