Open source has powered the internet since the beginning, but the people building and maintaining it have often been left behind.
TL;DR: Ethereum and Solidity turn ten. Ethereum Foundation, Octant and Optimism's Retro Funding support member projects. Gas limit to 45M. Partial history expiry. Fusaka upgrade: targeting Q4. Glamsterdam upgrade: feedback wanted on proposed headliners
TL;DR: The Dev Tools Guild unites critical Ethereum developer tooling to collectively fund projects and their maintainers (think Protocol Guild but for dev tooling), and boost coordination between protocol and dev tools developers. Coordinated by Conor Svensson (founder) and Andrew B Coathup, starting with a one-year pilot.
Mission: accelerate Ethereum app development through world-class tooling.
The Dev Tools Guild is a coordinated initiative uniting the teams behind many of Ethereum’s most widely used developer tools. Whether you're writing smart contracts, building trading bots, or deploying consumer apps, chances are you’re relying on infrastructure maintained by guild members.
