ngl im starting to be pissed at the EF for blatantly overlooking Fluid again and again not because Morpho doesn’t deserve it (at all!!) but that they rather allocate a second time to a protocol they’ve already allocated tens of millions to before giving a nod of appreciation to one of the fastest growing protocols on Ethereum over the past 2 years screams of incompetence and/or bad judgement these guys embody the values of what makes ethereum special discovered ethereum as teenagers as a way to build permissionless financial applications - before they even had a bak account in their name won ethindia hackathon, got mentored by kyberswap guys, raised some money and scaled instadapp to billions of TVL in defi loans 6 years later the guys are still building and have come up with a completely new primitive (turning lending markets into AMM’s) became the second largest DEX on Ethereum just behind Uniswap and one of the largest money markets which in club does one need to belong to, to get considered by the EF treasury?



There are so many comments and criticisms on every single EF tweet that I keep saving them up but before I get to write a response... a new one pops up heh 🫥 Fun. Anyway, on this topic: (1) In my subjective opinion and from what I see, EF doesn't want to kingmake, but rather support the teams that align with the mandate. Specifically for DeFi and treasury allocation, those are protocols that come as close to the defipunk criteria as possible: blog.ethereum.org/2025/06/04/ef-…. That's all in there since last year, and licenses are not a small part of the thinking process. I don't have as much experience in licenses as others on the team (tldr: I subjectively think we need to think carefully about the fine line between what's accepted and what is a bit too far on the spectrum, so that's TBD). @lex_node is on the pragmatic side as I can see, which I lean towards more myself, but the mandate is more on the strong side which @_Enoch is vocal about. I am curious if we can co-work on a piece that will not have to compromise but rather increase education & thus the move towards practical open-source. This isn't a comment @ Fluid, but a general comment on the defipunk selection. (2) On the topic of supporting other protocols like Fluid, David, please remember that this initiative is very young. @CharlieStLouis and I are not actually leading that (cc @Artem_Oak); and there is no dedicated EF fund manager team as such right now. So the actions and allocations are scarce, concentrated, and not properly streamlined yet - you see that. We started on this process with Charles to give some opinions and direction, but at the end of the day, EF treasury is not a fast-moving process. It's super security and mandate-sensitive since it's perceived as "put your money where your mouth is". Morpho was in line with the licensing signalling and it was allocated to before in the past, so it was a much easier decision. Aave got allocated too by the way. There is a short list of protocols we want to see supported and allocated to (not just social alignment support but real $$ allocation even if relatively small) - hope that can be done sooner than later. But again, EF is not a fund manager, it has a strong CROPS mandate, but it's moving in the direction that seems to be good <3 PS: I am not an EF spokesperson, I am new to the org but not to DeFi. Nevertheless, hope to reply to all proper criticisms and points of feedback from a subjective point of view.
