The Ethereum 10th Anniversary Time Capsule is OPEN! @jdetychey, @cheekygorilla0x and @LoringHarkness diving into your memories, predictions, photos, messages and more! Wednesday, 12 August at 13:00 UTC. Put it in your calendar.

One of the best parts of running an open funding round is being able to learn in the open. The @thedaofund Ethereum Security QF Round retrospective is now live!! Inside you'll find what worked, what didn't, and the improvements we're already thinking about for future rounds. Thank you to everyone who joined our retrospective calls and shared thoughtful feedback along the way. 💜

⌛️ In less than 3 days, the Ethereum time capsule opens Sealed in 2025 💭 your memories of Ethereum milestones 📸 your selfies at events 🔮 your price predictions ✨ your wishes for the future Everything will be revealed 30 July 00:00 UTC What do you think we'll find inside?

We're excited to share Epoch 12: Octant is for everyone. Allocation window opens at 12:30 pm ET today (16 June) and will close at 11:30 pm ET on 30 June. You can allocate on: This epoch marks a few big changes. This is our first epoch introducing ProperQF. This is our first epoch with zkproofs in voting. This is our first epoch open to ETH contributions. This is our first epoch on v2. So, let's get into it. Epoch 12 is our 13th funding round. We’ve got 200 ETH in our matching pool this time. As a GLM locker, you can allocate your WETH rewards to yourself and/or to projects that are part of this epoch. The matching pool will be quadratically split based on your allocations. For ETH contributions: 50% of the contribution will be converted to $GLM and burnt, and the remaining 50% will be allocated to your project selection. Part of this is to discourage sybil, and the other part is because our funding comes from @golemfoundation's treasury yield and GLM is core to the mechanism. We will be noting addresses who attempt to sybil and penalize them by removal in upcoming epochs. We've done a few deep dives on properQF and built a simulator you can use to model the final allocations: Now for the fun part. We've got an incredible group of projects joining us in Epoch 12: @AestusRelay @BluefilterC @crypto_altruism @dappnode @eas_eth @ECHInstitute @etheconomiczone @ethStaker @EthereumRemix @FundingCommons @GiliEcoTrust @greenpilldevs @growthepie_eth @hypercerts @l2beat @OSObserver @ProtocolGuild @RevokeCash @rotkiapp @SEAL_911 @shefiorg @ShutterNetwork @solidity_lang @argotorg @torproject @zachxbt Allocation dates: 16 June - 30 June (11:30 PM EST). Every allocation makes a difference. Make yours count. Allocate now:

Now presenting, we've got @AlphaLemonade from @ProtocolGuild and all the work they do to keep Ethereum thriving. Work done by Ethereum's active core protocol contributors includes; - Maintaining and developing one of the 12 different execution and consensus clients: critical for maintaining Ethereum’s 100% uptime - Testing and security of any new protocol features: scaling the L1, scaling L2 data availability, and improving interop - Researching future constructions: post-quantum security, faster finality, zkEVMs
