Appreciation cast for @octant 🥰 Octant is building novel and sustainable ways to fund Ethereum projects. And they stepped up to financially support @gmfarcaster these past few months as one of our premier sponsors. We got to learn more about their vision, values and current and future projects. (I’ll link to an episode for you to learn more in next cast) If you like what we’re building with @gmfarcaster , please consider following @octant and /octant because they’ve got some cool updates coming later this year

An interesting bit from @julian-z 's d/acc talk Funding things is always subjective. That's why Epoch 8 was focused on contribution to core Ethereum. We're not funding everything—we're funding what we believe strengthens @ethereum this epoch.

We had multiple review cycles, including due diligence and technical reviews. Our selection boiled down to a few factors, including direct impact, past verifiable contributions, critical infra needs, strategic importance to Ethereum’s roadmap, and clear verifiable deliverables. With hundreds of talented applicants and only 30 spots, it was tough making this decision. That said, we were SO impressed with everyone, and we’re feeling more bullish than ever about the future of Ethereum So who’s part of the cohort? Without further ado, please welcome our Epoch 8 cohort: Aestus, Circuitscan, growthepie, OrbitDB, powdr, Act, Blockscout, BuidlGuidl, DefiLlama, hevm, Protocol Guild, Shutter Network, Stablewatch, Blobscan, BundleBear, Commit-Boost, Dappnode, DeFiScan, Ephemery Testnet - Client Implementation, Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS), Ethers.js, Fe, Integrated Fuzzing for Ethereum CL & EL Networking, L2BEAT, Open Source Observer, Remix Project, Samba: A Portal Node in Java, Solidity, Verifereum, Vyper

Why so specific? This is a result of learnings from past epochs. We’ve realized having more designed themes and categories helps in selection and more importantly evaluation later. You can’t compare projects when the round and categories are vaguely defined. It would be like comparing apples and oranges. And how’d we decide? Because this was a more specific round, instead of a Snapshot vote, we selected the cohort through multiple internal reviews. If you applied in this epoch, you probably noticed a more detailed application process. This was intentional so we’d be able to work with as much information as possible and more datapoints for the final selections... 👇
