We’re excited to be part of Giveth’s Ethereum Security QF Round, supported by TheDAO Security Fund. ECH focuses on what keeps Ethereum strong, educating users, growing the community and making Ethereum a home for Web3 builders. With your GIV power, you can directly support this mission. giveth.io/project/ech-in… Donation window: From April 23 to May 14, 2026. Matching pool: 500 ETH 🧵 Here's what your donation does and why QF makes EVERY dollar count 👇🏻 #Giveth #ECHInstitute #QF #Funding

Ever felt intimidated by the process of contributing an EIP to Ethereum? The ECH Institute is here to help! 😸 From guiding you through the protocol upgrade process to supporting women in the space, ECH is making building on Ethereum accessible for everyone. Check out the shoutout on Ethereum Builders Live, where @jchaskin22 & @griffgreen reviewed 100+ projects from @thedaofund QF round on @Giveth - the biggest QF round ever on the platform. #Ethereum #EIP #Web3 #Giveth #ECHInstitute

@jchaskin22 @thedaofund Much appreciated 🙏

Just made my donation to the @thedaofund - the biggest QF matching round ever, with over $1M in matching funds I donated around 0.085 ETH each to 20 projects It was genuinely hard to choose. I could’ve given to way more. If I didn’t include you, it doesn’t mean I don’t think your work matters Here are the projects I supported and why: @zachxbt It’s frustrating that the US gov targeted good actors while scammers and grifters largely go untouched. Zach does an incredible job tracking bad actors and bringing transparency to the space @_SEAL_Org 911 + Certs Literal first responders for crypto hacks. You can ping them mid-incident and they show up. Public good heroes. SEAL Certs is pushing toward real security standards and verification lfglabs (dot) dev + @Verifereum Formal verification is one of the most powerful (and underused) tools in security @tanuki42_ Don’t know him personally, but trusted by the SEAL team and contributes there. Anyone volunteering their time like that deserves support @RevokeCash We’ve all used it. Critical tool for managing approvals. Saved users countless times @l2beat Goes without saying. They keep L2s honest and transparent around trust assumptions @blockthreat One of the best security newsletters. Deep, detailed breakdowns of the ecosystem @blockscout Open-source block explorer. Important counterbalance to closed-source infra like Etherscan @blobscan Open-source blob explorer. Important for visibility into L2 data @buidlguidl Onboarding and educating the next generation of Ethereum devs @ProtocolGuild An experiment to sustainably fund core contributors. We should all want this to succeed @opsek_io Something I didn’t know before this round. Securing the software we actually run is just as important @walletbeat Wallets are how we access Ethereum. If they’re not aligned, we don’t actually have trustless access. Important work holding them accountable @crossbar_inc Didn’t know this one either. Very cool to see serious open-source hardware efforts @cyfrin Updraft @PatrickAlphaC's courses helped me (and a ton of others) get into Solidity @ECHInstitute @poojaranjan19 and team do an incredible job coordinating and educating around the protocol @nihiliumio Key management and UX are still broken. Way too easy to lose everything. Glad people are working on fixing it @zodiaceco Extending multisigs with better account management. Multisigs should be the default

@poojaranjan19 @RollAMate Thanks for this amazing addition to the Ethereum ecosystem, @ariutokintumi @0xVato @jistro 💙
