We’re moving the start of the Ethereum Security QF Round to April 23. Demand has been strong, and we want to make room for more high-quality Ethereum security projects to join before kickoff. Updated timeline: • Round starts: April 23 • Round ends: May 14 • Last day to apply (for mid-round acceptance): April 30 qf.giveth.io/qf/apply

Quick reminder for today 👀

We are DAOing a little differently ;-) Insteaed of making in house tooling, we will partner with external round operators in an effort to support the DAO tooling space. Make sure your favorite DAO builders see this!!

GIVnews #51 is out 💜 Inside: 🛡️ 500 ETH Ethereum Security QF round (apps open) 💧 @Superfluid_HQ Season 5 is streaming 🇫🇷 @EthCC recap ✨Featured project: @ChainPatrol - Lights in Dark Rooms 🤝 GIVfriends: @thedaofund 🏆 Newly verified: @theguilddotdev, @viasna96

We’re opening applications for Round Operators to help run future TheDAO Security Fund rounds. If your team is building serious DAO tooling, we’d love to hear from you.

Octo and his (e)therian frens took over the @blossom_labs hacker house 🐙🌊 masks on. vibes immaculate. the best treasures aren't tokens, they're the creatures you build with 💜

Are you @ ETHcc, join the conversation (literally you can participate in the pannel/fishbowl) We will talk about where is ReFi and whats the way forward. Come and chat with @griffgreen @Giveth @Celo @CeloPublicGoods @GigaHierz me and others Today 2pm ethcc.io/ethcc-9/agenda…

If you want to be part of the first TheDAO Security Fund round, now’s the time to apply. Submit by April 15 to be reviewed before the round opens on April 21.

Octo is going to Cannes. We're running a hands-on workshop at the Blossom Hacker House during #EthCC week. April 1. Come consolidate some treasures.

TheDAO Security Fund’s first round is out! We’re kicking things off with a broadly scoped Ethereum Security quadratic funding round on Giveth as the first move in our bottom-up distribution strategy. Why QF? Because we wanted the first round to do more than just allocate funds. QF is still one of the most powerful funding mechanisms Ethereum has produced. It gives the community a real voice, helps projects build awareness around their work, and creates extra upside for the Ethereum security space beyond the funding itself. That felt like the right energy for a first round. Not to mention, QF could also bring in meaningful donations on top of the pool. Extra funding for security is always good! Why keep the scope broad? There are so many projects out there building tools, standards, infrastructure, response systems, and protections that make Ethereum safer every single day, but this work is easy to miss if you’re not deep in it already. This round gives that work a chance to gain better adoption. We hope the many projects, tools, newsletters (and more) that join the round will become more widely known by everyone who participates, especially the ETHSecurity Badgeholders. This new awareness around what is already out there will, in itself, improve Ethereum security. Why Giveth? Because Giveth is already working closely on TheDAO Security Fund’s operations, including standing up the ETHSecurity Badges program, and going forward, they’ll also be working with all of our round operators. That made them the natural choice for running the first round. This first round is not just about getting funds out the door. It’s also about getting a real process in motion, learning from it, and making the next rounds better because of it. And on a practical level, Giveth is also the only Ethereum-focused team still actively running QF rounds at this scale. Read all about the round here 👇

Season 5 ends June 1. The earlier you start your recurring donation, the more SUP you can earn. Support a project you believe in. Let your impact stream. Get rewarded while you do it. 💜

Guess what? We're hosting a Hacker House in Cannes during #EthCC week. March 31 - April 1. Two days. Three activities. Free entry. A space for builders, contributors, and dApp lovers to work on projects together. luma.com/b5l2p1c1

Skip your daily nap, shrink your brain. A study by researchers from University College London and the University of the Republic in Uruguay has found that people who habitually take daytime naps tend to have significantly larger total brain volume—a key indicator of brain health that typically declines with age and is associated with reduced dementia risk. The team used Mendelian randomization, a method that leverages genetic variants (present from birth) that make people more likely to nap regularly. By analyzing brain MRI scans and health records from more than 35,000 participants in the UK Biobank, they discovered that those genetically inclined to nap had brain volumes corresponding to 2.6 to 6.5 fewer years of aging. While this doesn’t definitively prove that napping itself enlarges the brain, the genetic approach helps rule out many lifestyle-related confounding factors, providing stronger evidence of a potential causal relationship than traditional observational studies. Notably, the researchers found no link between napping predisposition and performance on tests of reaction time, memory, or visual processing. However, previous studies have shown that short naps can deliver immediate cognitive benefits. The study lacked specific data on nap duration, but prior research suggests naps of 30 minutes or less provide the greatest advantages while minimizing disruption to nighttime sleep. This is the largest study to date linking regular napping with brain structure. Although further research is needed in more diverse populations, the findings bolster the idea that a brief daytime rest may help preserve brain volume and support long-term cognitive health.
