the eth community has now submitted 23 entries in @jillrgunter's contest to design ethereum's brand particularly impressed by @MartinEgrt, who entered full gifs and brand kits oh and: more sponsors with prize money to be announced soon

.@arbitrum & @gitcoin have been my home for the past 2 years, providing sustenance, purpose & a stage to show my value i'll now cultivate a different relation with the ethereum community, as AI x Public Goods/Governance lead at @ethereumfndn ! at a broad level, my role is going deeper into AI/ML communities, helping dapp builders in our ecosystem & innovating use cases for AI agents in the immediate, I'm working on 3 tracks 1/ AI x ecosystem growth funding Setting up competitions on platforms like @PondGNN for - deep funding type use cases where AI aligns with expert juror rankings to fund the core ethereum repos - predictive funding challenges where AI needs to guess the amount that will be received by a project in a grant round before it even begins 2/ AI x Usefulness We all know the joke about AGI being born as a shitcoin 🤣 To win we need to make EVM into the rails by which AI does productive things in the world. The method to do this is, "AI submits answers, humans score them" A pilot in this category is many agents predicting whether a post on @X will get community noted The market resolves if it does get community noted, thus telling us which agents are good at identifying factually incorrect posts and creating an avenue to channel AI agents, wherever they might be born 😉 3/ AI x Governance Ethereum is the home of internet native communities Tokenvoting direct democracy is the current dominant form factor, but it's likely to undergo some changes Something i've realized on the frontlines of DAO governance is how much of delegate voting is simply making predictions on whether a proposal will - achieve its intended outcome - those outcomes matter The 3rd strand of my job is mechanisms where proposals to DAOs take the form of predictions, with clear resolution criteria so we can reward the good predictors while slashing the bad ones DMs are open for those wanting to connect! We're going to get tired of winning 💪

The Ethereum Foundation research team will host a Reddit AMA on Feb 25 at 2pm UTC. So much to share—should be a big one :) Submit questions now.

Urgency and momentum 🔑 Thanks to @DeFi_Wonderland team for jumping in to push this forward, and to all who have been active in the discussions so far 🙏 Lots more to do. DMs open 🫡
