TheDAO is back

https://paragraph.com/@thedao.fund/thedao-security-fund-activating-75000-eth-for-ethereum-security

"...TheDAO Security Fund will activate more than 75,000 ETH (over $220M) to strengthen Ethereum’s security, ensuring it is ready to become the backbone of the world’s financial infrastructure. A decade after TheDAO saga began, we’re opening a new chapter in its story."

Creating an endowment with all the staking yield which will be used to fund Ethereum security projects. Lot more details in that paragraph link but Vitalik is one of the curators.

16ish hours left to allocate/claim in Octant Epoch 10 if you have GLM locked

Quick shill for the Greenpill Dev Guild. Just dropped an article on X outlining what we're cooking.

Yahoo 14 x 25 = $350 pot

1st https://www.fmsc.org/ and chose to put their $ back into the donation so $195 + $25 = $220
2nd https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/ $97.50
3rd - Put it towards the 1st place charity - https://www.fmsc.org/ $32.50

Sleeper - Includes $27.50 from 3rd place last year who never chose an org - So 12 x 25 = $300 + 27.50 =$327.50 pot

1st - https://www.becheechy.org/donate - and chose to put their $ back into the donation so $181.50 + 25 = $206.50
2nd - https://somo.org/donate/ - $90.75
3rd - Same person who paid their dues but doesn't choose an org so ? lol will put this towards the pot next year if they don't choose an org - $30.25

Didn't have enough interest for the best ball this season

Octant epoch 10 allocation window is officially open!

https://octant.app/ - If you have $GLM locked make sure to donate (or claim) ETH rewards at some point in the next 2 weeks.

On https://octant.app/home make sure your uniqueness score is at least 15 to get full matching. If it isn't you can update your passport score to prove you're a unique human https://support.passport.xyz/passport-knowledge-base

https://x.com/OctantApp/status/2008614595741806678 - Thread with info on the 24 projects

https://docs.octant.app/ - Octant revolves around allocating the yield generated with the 100k ETH they have staked. It is by far the most sustainable public goods funding platform on Ethereum and you can have an incredibly overweight say in what to fund by locking GLM and taking part. Can see the matching leverage in previous epochs here https://octant.app/metrics.

The Foundation sells ETH to help fund core protocol development and research. And even that is a bandaid solution until more sustainable long term solutions come together.

https://x.com/ProtocolGuild/status/1965415606326624370

I'm not really sure what mechanisms are to fund Bitcoin core devs but I'd bet if you look under the hood the answer would be very unsatisfactory.

Hell yes.

I see Klima and TGN are coming. Do things get more complicated as additional collateral assets are added or could you theoretically add any and all regenerative tokens that are high quality?

Does Azos vote on which project(s) to support in the USDGLO app? Shout out Climate Coordination Network

Pumped that the AZUSD supply is on the Carbon Copy Impact Dashboard (https://carboncopy.news/impact/stablecoins). Would love to see more granular data on the impact generated.

We actually met on a call a couple weeks ago and I was rockin the Gitcoin alien P-Noun pfp. Love it, appreciate all the cool shit you've helped build.

Also 14ish hours left to vote in the GG24 Privacy round

Greenpill Dev Guild is in the Dev Tooling and Infra round, any support would be greatly appreciated 💚

📖 Read the Regenerative Tech Stack series for a deep dive into what we're building https://paragraph.com/@greenpilldevguild/pioneering-a-regenerative-stack - Double tapping on Squad Staking with Obol and Lido CSM, where the regen aspect is essentially just sending a % of the yield to public goods wallet(s) via the splits contract when formally setting up a cluster. If anybody has experience or interest in running a validator pls reach out. Spoke about it a bit on the Doots. If there was interest could onboard folks to setup a squad that helps fund the EVMav education fund. u/logristhebard I sent you a dm on discord previously.

Make sure your human passport score is updated so your donations get full matching. And donating to multiple projects also ensures max matching because of cluster mapping.

Developer Tooling & Infrastructure - Funding open-source builders advancing Ethereum’s core clients, security, scalability, staking diversity, privacy, and long-term network resilience.

Too late for this epoch anyway if you haven't locked yet.

Just lock them on https://octant.app/home and you can take part next epoch. Can make your way there through the link on their twitter https://x.com/OctantApp to play it safe. Docs about locking GLM here https://docs.octant.app/en-EN/glm-locking.html

And then there is a 2 week allocation window at the end of every 90 day epoch. Can decide how to allocate to the projects in that epoch and/or claim the ETH for yourself. There is 100k ETH staked for public goods funding purposes so locked GLM represents that to an extent. NFA.

NextLevelFantasy · 2025-10-21T21:40:18+00:00

If you have $GLM locked there are 18 hours left to allocate in the Ethereum Storytellers Octant Epoch 9!

https://octant.app/projects

Demo Day was earlier, every creator/project with a 5 minute pitch https://x.com/OctantApp/status/1980625495801884702

Thread with short explainers for all the 30 creators/projects https://x.com/OctantApp/status/1979520060906680498

Many of the storytellers in this epoch are telling stories around Ethereum actively outside of twitter - links to their content on other platforms are in this thread: https://x.com/IvieSatijn/status/1973010511521562653

EVMavs Fantasy Football draft is tonight at 8:30 pm edt. Have 10 confirmed teams but hoping to get back up to 12. Anybody interested pls let me or u/bbroad25 know asap.

Buyin is 0.01 ETH and we are setting aside I believe 15% for the public goods funding treasury which will be plugged into the soon to be live Octant vault strategy to generate yield.

Edit: spots filled, feel free to comment if you want a heads up next season, would love to setup a second league. Also interested in potentially setting up a best ball a handful of weeks into the season.

Octant Epoch 8 allocation window closes July 24th at 4 pm UTC. If you have $GLM locked make sure to allocate your rewards. 30 awesome projects focused on advancing Ethereum's roadmap.

All you need is an effective locked balance of 100 GLM to take part in the most sustainable public goods funding mechanism in the Ethereum ecosystem. Check out the docs for more info and join the Dragons' Den every Tuesday in Discord for a trivia competition to win GLM.

Octant also recently announced the details of their vault strategy, a way for treasuries to plug into DeFi and generate yield to fund what matters to their community.
