Been seeing a lot of complaints lately, so I wanted to share more about EF's new structure, which teams have been built out, and who to reach out to for different types of support requests. First of all, to quote @james_gaps’ pinned tweet, EcoDev is composed of teams that help users onboard, support builders, steward local communities, and fund public goods so Ethereum stays resilient, human-centered, and useful to the world. There are four sub-clusters within EcoDev, but I’ll only highlight Ecosystem Acceleration here since they handle most of the requests the broader community usually asks about: 1. Developer Growth led by @austingriffith with @escottalexander and @binji_x focuses on engaging and supporting next-gen builders. 2. App Relations & Research led by @jchaskin22 with @isha_sangani focuses on accelerating meaningful, user-facing applications. 3. Founder Success led by @adrianmcli with myself and @oel4all focuses on helping founders with fundraising, partnerships, accelerator access, and hosting hackathons to onboard new developers. 4. Enterprise Acceleration led by @davwals with @ashmorgan, @ismiMatthew, and @motypes supports businesses and institutions adopting Ethereum. So if you're a builder needing dev support, working on a consumer app, an early or mid-stage founder looking for guidance, or an institution wanting to connect with EF, these are the teams to reach out to. They’re all very responsive and supportive. Lastly, it’s worth remembering that Andre’s criticism is before this new structure. The approach today is much more coordinated, community driven and only a few months old.
I am confused. So who is EF paying/supporting? While building on ETH I have burned over 700 ETH on deployments and ETH infra. I tried contacting EF, never a response, no BD outreach, no grants, 0 support, not even a retweet. When I started helping out with Sonic eco I was actually confused since the majority of teams got BD support, grants, TVL, audits, and constant marketing support, I had assumed EF was the norm. But if it isnt the core builders, Peter & geth, and it isnt the loudest L2 supporters (Sandeep and Polygon), where is it going?
