Seeing the news of EF @ethereumfndn's restructuring, we discussed it late into the night and moved quickly to launch a brand-new support program. We believe that sometimes you leave in order to set out anew—and what GCC hopes to do is ensure that those who quietly work for Ethereum's long-term value won't lose their support simply because one organization has changed course. If you're doing this kind of work, or would like to fund and build alongside us, we'd love to hear from you: tally.so/r/xXgb7v

🤝 Meet our Supporting Sponsor — @GCCofCommons! Thank you for supporting #MUBAHackathon and empowering the next generation of blockchain innovators. 💚

GCC 新一轮的招募正式启动啦！ 这次我们在方向、机制和组织方式上都做了调整，方向收敛到开源、隐私、安全，加上 AI 和高校研究；组织上分成五个工作组；激励机制也重新设计了。欢迎大家自主报名、推荐和帮忙点赞转发呀～ 申请链接：（报名截止为7月23日） 申请执行理事 / 工作组负责人：tally.so/r/Y5vP0q 申请贡献者：tally.so/r/eqlAeq

@ShanghaoJin @yangkongloong 金老师还真是crypto KOL最先说的这个“链上代理经济体”和agent间交互用稳定币的概念，以及很多人布局这支股是因为看好稳定币使用量在跨境结算上会在未来的五年里面稳步增长（目前也的确在稳步增长中）

@yangkongloong 这种虎狼之词还真不是币圈KOL能想出来的 都是群嘴资自己编了个故事，把自己说信了

我反复跟嘴资兄弟们说别炒CRCL～就不听 什么AI交互要用token买token，都是什么鬼话？反复被洗完脑，还试图来洗我

This year, the EF is decreasing its budget by roughly 40%, which entails some difficult decisions. The goal of the decreases was set out in the Treasury Management Policy last year: the EF is transitioning into being a long-term-oriented endowment-based organization, shifting from its pre-2026 average of spending ~15% of its remaining funds each year, toward a post-2030 target of ~5% per year. Often, when an organization goes through something like this, people try to pretend that nothing of great value was lost, that it is an efficiency increase, that the only people cut are unproductive dead weight, and everyone else stopped partying, studied the blade, entered cracked S-tier beast mode, and this was sufficient to make up for the downside. I will not try to pretend this. I respect my EF colleagues far too much to pretend that there was not much that is lost. They are brilliant people. They are dedicated engineers of whom some have worked on the Ethereum protocol for nearly a decade. They have brought a bright light to the Ethereum ecosystem with their code, their words, their warmth as human beings and their actions. My dearest hope is that they find a path that brings them fulfillment and happiness whether inside Ethereum or outside. Hopefully many will be able to bring their excellent talents and mindset to the wider Ethereum ecosystem, or the even wider CROPS world. Instead, I will try to explain what *are* some of the grand sacrifices being made. The Ethereum Strawmap is no small thing. It is an extremely ambitious undertaking seeking to replace and augment almost every part of the protocol - consensus, proofs, privacy, account model, state, and more. This is the third iteration of Ethereum, in the same way that the Merge was the second, even if the shipping style is less Big Bang and more one-piece-at-a-time. On top of this, the EF is increasing its role in the Access Layer. We are not compromising on Ethereum being a Deeply Impressive protocol, something worthy of its place in a world with quantum computing, rockets to Mars and powerful biotech and AI, and capable of meeting the challenges that this era will bring. Some of the deficit will be recovered through more work happening outside the EF. But not all. So what are the grand sacrifices that will enable a leaner effort to accomplish all of this? I will give a few examples (though far from an exhaustive list): * The multi-client model will shift in the direction of multiple clients existing less for _redundancy_, and more for _specialization_. Up to this point, redundancy has been the main security strategy: if one client has a bug, if it has less than 33%, the chain keeps going and does not even stop finalizing. We are increasingly exploring moving more pieces of the protocol to a different security strategy: AI-assisted formal verification. Some smaller pieces of Ethereum (eg. BLS libraries) have worked this way already for a long time. But soon many more parts of Ethereum will likely function on this model. This may greatly reduce resource requirements of shipping a large number of EIPs. The resources saved by client teams can ideally instead be used to better serve different specialized user needs, including EF Access Layer goals. * PSE (Privacy and Scaling Explorations) is winding down as a unit. The number of people working on ZKPs for privacy and scaling is probably as high as ever, but they are working less on "exploration" and more on *implementing* ZKP-based privacy and scaling into the Protocol and Access Layer * Devcon will likely over time become smaller-scale, somewhat more spartan, much lower-deficit than previous years, in addition to other changes in vision in line with the Mandate. * Fewer beyond-Ethereum megaprojects coming from EF. As I announced earlier this year, I am taking on some of the responsibility of doing projects in this category that I consider valuable with my personal funds. * EF institutional work is reducing in scope, specializing more specifically on creating replicable test cases of highly CROPS-friendly deployments, even if at smaller scale. These do not explain all departures; in some cases they do not explain departures at all and rather explain _reduced need for new spending_. But they are a large part of the strategy at play. In the longer term, I personally favor a "soft lean-and-done" approach to Ethereum: once the Strawmap is completed, generally stick to security fixes and small high-value changes, and have a much higher bar for considering new feature additions to the protocol. This allows Ethereum to remain capture-resistant without demanding very large budgets. Learn less from multimillion-line-of-code behemoth projects, more from bitcoin. The past years have been a challenging era for Ethereum. However, the ecosystem is adapting, both inside the EF and outside, and I am confident that Ethereum is very well-positioned to succeed and thrive. firefly.social/post/x/2069408…

What about the visa? Indian visa processing takes time, so please start the moment your spot is confirmed. If you need a Ticket Confirmation Letter to support your Indian visa application, you can request one from the organizers — but note the following first: You must already hold a confirmed Devcon 8 ticket before requesting a letter; Requests should be submitted at least 90 days before the event; requests made fewer than two weeks out cannot be guaranteed, though the team will make every effort to process them; Make sure all details are accurate and complete — missing information may cause delays; A ticket confirmation letter does not guarantee visa approval — that decision rests entirely with the Indian immigration authorities; For some requests, the Ethereum Foundation may need a local third party to process your letter; by submitting a request, you authorize them to share your details with third-party vendors as needed. 📩 For ticket confirmation letters and visa-related questions, contact: visa@devcon.org If my visa is rejected, can I get a ticket refund? Yes. In the unfortunate event your visa is rejected, your ticket cost will be refunded to the original payment method.

🎫 关于门票与签证 门票怎么买？ Devcon 8 门票仅接受 ETH 支付（以太坊主网 L1）且限量发售，早鸟已于 5 月开售；今年另有 Builder / 学生 / 印度本地居民等多种折扣通道陆续开放。 签证怎么办？ 印度签证审批周期较长，请在名单确定后第一时间启动。如果你在办理印度签证时需要一封「门票确认信」（Ticket Confirmation Letter）来辅助申请，可向官方申请，但请先注意以下几点： - 申请确认信前，你必须已经持有一张确认的 Devcon 8 门票； - 确认信请至少在大会开始前 90 天提交申请；距大会不足两周提交的请求无法保证处理，但官方会尽力协助； - 请确保所填信息准确完整，信息缺失可能导致延误； - 提供门票确认信并不代表签证一定获批——是否批准完全由印度移民当局自行裁定； - 部分申请，以太坊基金会可能需要委托当地第三方处理你的确认信；提交申请即代表你授权官方在必要时将你的信息分享给第三方供应商。 📩 门票确认信申请及签证相关问题，请联系官方邮箱：visa@devcon.org 万一签证被拒，门票能退吗？ 可以。如果很不幸你的签证申请被拒，官方将把门票费用原路退回至原支付方式。

Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy. The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure. Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation. What we believe: • We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person. • We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum. • We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone. • We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them. We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products. Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future. We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development. We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong. We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: join@ethlabs.org
