“Ichigo Ichie” - Another Zen term that hasn’t been globally recognized enough but can inspire many. May your 2020 be filled with precious Ichigo Ichie moments. (Reminded this term by Brian Eno’s Ambient Painting)

Moment to breathe after another hectic week. Spring has come. Ethereum has come. Sakura is a symbol of the beginning of a beautiful future in Japan. Sakura and Kabosu, the original Doge shiba with the eth family :)

Let’s not forget that there are many innocent Russian people, some of them are top talents in our industry, who do not want this conflict, who are feeling sad, embarrassed and upset by the actions of the Russian government.
1/ The path toward the Merge wasn't something that could have been predicted from the start. It took real growth, an evolution of ideas and research, a flourishing number of developers and contributors, a more diverse client community, and a maturing system of self governance
1/ Many foreigners were scared to come, but I strongly believe it’s important for builders to go out there and see all different parts of the world they are trying to change. We will keep trying to challenge and surprise you.
1. Today we’re publishing the EF report! We hope it helps the community understand what the Ethereum Foundation is, our core principles, and our vision of Ethereum as an infinite garden.
Read it here:
Congratulations to

Applications for the next EF Fellowship Program cohort are open now!
Last year's amazing fellows are creating a positive impact in the ecosystem (and the 🌏). If you or someone you know can benefit the next billion builders & users, apply by July 17.
1/ There are many heroes in the EF family that I would like to give a shoutout to. Today's shoutout goes to
@AustinGrifith
. Austin helps ANYONE who wants to try building on Ethereum and he makes it so fun and easy
We've come a long way since the UNICEF

in 2019. Here's more on what
@Ethereum
Foundation &
@UNICEFinnovate
have accomplished so far, and on what's next.
As I said in the blog, if
@UNICEF
can do this, you can too.
We didn’t just pick Bogota. We picked LatAm! Excited about all these

events from here to Devcon and more. Haste pronto Buenos Aires ✈️
@ethlatam
1/ The goal of
@EFDevconnect
was to make room for important depth-first discussions, and for magic to happen for Ethereum in 2022.
I hope everyone feels the goal was met! The quality of conversations that happened for protocol R&D, staking, L2, MEV, ZK and more was incredible.
Please stop using "real name" to refer to your passport name. Your government doesn't get to define who you "really" are. If you use a different name in most day-to-day interactions, that is your real name.
"Passport name", "legal name", "slave name" to be edgy are all fine.
@UNICEF
's CryptoFund has our ongoing support as (1) a great example of how public sectors benefit from efficiency and transparency, and (2) for their support of projects in developing countries that provide blockchain use cases that others can learn from. Looking forward to more!
Thank you

This made me almost cry. Last 3+ years has definitely been not easy and we would not have been able to make these improvements without the amazing talents I work with and those who supported me 🙏
3/ Ethereum is now a greener and more secure network. This is one big step toward more effective real world impact that I am proud to see, and I wanted to say THANK YOU!
Congratulations on the Merge🐼
#EthereumMerge
Congrats Ethereum on another successful network upgrade! - Extra shout out to the hidden contributors : devops, testing and security members for making it too boring ;)
Thanks for the kind words. I hope to support Ethereum - with all of you in the community - to maintain its genuine vision for the future of humanity (and beyond)
I can't imagine a better person than
@mi_ayako
to shepherd Ethereum forward through new challenges and growth. She is the right person to support and organize Ethereum's dedication to ethics along the path to decentralizing trust for the future of humanity (and beyond).
1/ I want us to take a moment to acknowledge that this was a big milestone for us in the space. It was the largest crypto transaction (ETH) in the public sector. This especially is a big deal for an international org like UN.
The Ethereum Foundation is surveying projects and dApps already using

to solve real-world issues. We're interested in hearing about apps at all stages of development, and we'd love to hear about your work! Click to take part:

I wrote a blog about the challenges of ESG systems, and how the Ethereum ecosystem can inspire them to improve. Thanks
@Vitalikbuterin
and others for the feedback!
2/And although the name says "Incentive", we hope that the program also symbolizes the appreciation the Ethereum community has for the teams who have remained focused on building and maintaining the public goods that support the network 🙏
I cannot describe how thankful I am for everyone who supported DevCon4. Prague volunteers were truly amazing. All the attendees were also wonderful and created positive vibe 🙏

was one of the best hackathons I’ve experienced recently. I loved many teams started with solving local problems in their life. Well done
@ethglobal
for producing another quality hackathon! Thanks
@ethereum_mexico
for all your support (+ the beautiful sombrero)!
2/ Ethereum's Infinite Garden will continue to grow, and we all have more to do to help the world use this technology to create real change. But this is an opportunity to pause, to recognize the incredible work from hundreds of builders over many years that made today a reality
Thanks for all the hard work behind this effort beyond this announcement. I’m in Tokyo atm meetings with many enterprises seriously interested in/ building on Ethereum and I feel this EEA’s initiative is indeed much needed now
Devconnect is coming back! and it will be in Istanbul, the city with a very strong community of developers and students!
We also hope the decision to bring Devconnect to Istanbul can show our support to the region affected by the severe earthquakes earlier this year
🎉 Get ready for Devconnect Istanbul 2023! 🇹🇷
👉 Save the date: 13-19 Nov 2023
Let's gather for a week of distributed independent events, bringing together the community to dive deep into discussions and drive serious progress for Ethereum.

Looking for leaders who can inspire the world to think about the next billion. If you have an idea to connect your project with Ethereum (no need to be currently doing so), the application for Cohort 4 is now available 👇
👀We are looking for Cohort 4! The Next Billion Fellowship at the Ethereum Foundation is a search for individuals with stories to tell us about today, and projects that work towards tomorrow.🌱

@ConsenSys
did all the experiments at the perfect timing when no one else was doing with that level and is now focusing on what's most important from what they've gained and learned from their experiments. I thought we called this "strategy”
Regulatory discussions tend to focus on the question of "What problems Web3 is creating?" Instead they should start with "What world problems Web3 is solving?" (= Why do we need Web3?), then discuss how to work with Web3 to solve the problems together.
Here are some of the things I spent a lot of energy on : 1. Set the vision 2. Be clear on what NOT to do 3. Set high standards to achieve the vision 4. Hire right people. And the rest of credit for this one 👇should go to the teams

If you read

But now? Go watch the grantee day presentation and Devcon. Completely next level.

Foundation wants to know who was your “infinite teacher” during this hackathon! Pls join this survey by EOD and you’ll receive a NFT!
Watched this at a small independent theater in Tokyo. This is made by a group of anonymous filmmakers while the junta is jailing journalists and blocking internet communications. Let’s not forget the terror there is worsening and remains a threat to all of humanity.
Blockchain is still a very new technology to many corporations. They have to change going from institutional trust to technological trust, going from trusting lawyers to trusting math/computers. Education is necessary.
