first etherealize and ethereum community foundation. then ethlabs. now ethereum institutional. wth is going on?
 |
i produced an explainer on the new wave of ethereum-aligned organizations splintering off from the ethereum foundation:
the day after ETHLabs, the EF announced it was cutting 20% of its workforce 🥲 it's been a chaotic, turbulent time within the ethereum ecosystem, and i wanted to document my thoughts on why this is happening now and what that could mean for the future of ethereum. lo and behold, as i was finishing production, yet another independent organization founded by ex-EF team members spawned: ethereum institutional. the story literally outran the edit/production 😂 the evidence points both directions: vitalik was writing about distributing the protocol's brain trust across multiple orgs back in 2017. but you can also read this moment as a centre shrinking faster than what the ecosystem is ready to absorb. video: https://youtu.be/sF3NlQBIQDE genuine question for anyone closer to the research side: is coordination between these orgs actually happening anywhere visible? shared calls, forums, roadmap alignment? ———– if we're meeting for the first time — hi 👋 i built this channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto. a like, a comment, and a sub on my channel goes a long way to supporting my work 🙂 submitted by /u/haochizzle |
