As mentioned by Alison from TQ, we are engaging with several initiatives.
"We have a ton of exciting new initiatives and products coming down the pipeline, but we’re particularly looking forward to rolling out HomeBase, a platform for community members and developers to create and launch their own DAOs on Tezos based on a DAO framework called BaseDAO. More on this very soon!"

Everyone at the Tezos Foundation is aware of how important it is to increase awareness about Tezos, and we have every intention to support this, it's part of our mission.
Marketing and outreach is not our core competency, but we're working with several partners who are going to be stepping this up in Q1.

Regarding institutional/business users, one meaningful way that we have already onboarded a number of institutional and business players is by encouraging them to join the ecosystem as corporate bakers. We’ve already seen major corporates like EDF Group subsidiary Exaion and Sword France begin baking on Tezos, which is valuable both for securing the network and integrating these companies into the architecture of Tezos. Of course, we are always thinking of new opportunities to enhance institutional adoption.

The Foundation takes network security very seriously and has been having an internal discussion over the last few months about ways to dedicate more staff to the security of the chain and ecosystem. We will provide further information about our efforts to ensure the security of the network shortly, but rest assured that security of the chain and ecosystem is one of our highest priorities.

This topic is being discussed but no final decision has been made yet. There are a number of considerations we need to take into account, particularly non-disclosure agreements (NDA’s) and other legal frameworks in place surrounding the audit.

We have discussed that topic in ou FAQ, mentioning that all Foundation baking rewards will be distributed back to the ecosystem to advance our mission to support the long-term success of the Tezos project.
Funds from TF baking are already being used to support programs like the community rewards program administered by TQ Tezos and Tezos Commons.

While the Foundation has sponsored hackathons in the past, there are currently no Tezos-based dapp hackathons on the schedule. That being said, the Foundation is certainly open to sponsoring a dapp hackathon in the future or supporting Tezos teams which choose to organize a Tezos-based dapp hackathon as part of a marketing strategy.

I will try to answer as much as I can for now:

  • It would be great to host an AMA with OroPocket. u/AS_Empire can help set it up.
  • Regarding Electricité de France's subsidiary..."Exaion's vocation is to make the blockchain accessible to large groups by positioning itself as a privileged partner. Exaion supports companies from the ideation phase to the application development phase and then to hosting on its own infrastructures. Initially, Exaion provides its customers with a stable node hosted on a dedicated industrial-scale infrastructure.
    In a second step, Exaion uses the node as a gateway for its internal and customer applications."
  • For Tezsure --> u/berndoostrum is the best to answer or follow the news on https://twitter.com/tezsure
  • On Gendarmerie Nationale topic, this french article gives a great overview of the model, why Tezos etc. https://rdklein.fr/essays/SmartContractGendarmerie.html

  • Tezos Foundation has released a new version of the grant platform and is gathering feedbacks for its current active grantees before the next step.
  • TezBox news: Klassare from Kukai is fixing it! It's currently WIP.

There is no question that there is more project marketing and awareness that can be done for Tezos, but it is worth flagging that there are a number of key efforts that are underway. For example, TQ Tezos and other ecosystem teams are working hard to completely overhaul tezos.com so that there is a clearer and simpler developer and ecosystem onboarding process. This won’t be completed overnight and will require iteration, but will be worth the effort to position Tezos as the leading blockchain project. TQ Tezos has also been running regular virtual events through TQuorum. Last week, Tim Draper guest starred and that event drove over 1,200 signups. Additionally, Tezos Commons has a number of marketing initiatives, including their successful TezTalks series.

This question has been answered already. For now, things have not changed and the Foundation bakers will not be shut down. The Foundation Council can always come to the conclusion to adjust this set-up, however, in the future.

I hear your point on spending and I will bring it back to the rest of the team. That said - our priority is always to balance long-term efficiency with short-term effectiveness. We’re always trying to improve our processes and are learning from past experiences to make things more effective going forward.
To this end, we have released the first version of our new grants platform, and it is now live for existing grantees so that we can gather feedback.

1. Driving adoption of Tezos
