A curated network of founders, builders & creators to earn, learn, and discover opportunities in the Ethereum ecosystem

Joined November 2025
For the first time, I shared the story behind why we published the EF Mandate after more than a decade. With open source, we can see the code. We can see what decisions are made. But it’s hard to see why a decision is made. I also spoke about why culture matters and the opportunities ahead for builders. streameth.org/watch/yt-QlLaU…

Ethereum turns 11 today. To celebrate, we made a summer reading list tracing the ideas behind it, from pseudonymity and privacy to digital cash and programmable coordination. Crypto was never only about efficiency. It was about making freedom durable. Enjoy your summer readings! 🌞📖 localethereum.substack.com/p…

1/4 Ethereum doesn't just live online. It lives in cities, in communities of people building together where they are. But finding your people, value-aligned builders working on problems that actually matter to you, has always been harder than it should be. Today, we’re making it easier to find where you belong. 🎯 Introducing ETHStars Communities: a living globe of where Ethereum is happening, worldwide. 🌐 ethstars.xyz/communities
