We're finally ready to unveil Epoch 8.
🥁🥁🥁 This epoch is an Ethereum-core alignment epoch. It's a special one because it's a major step in our broader roadmap to contribute to Ethereum's growth.
Like Epoch 7, there's no snapshot. Our internal reviewers will select projects based on impact and relevance.
Allocation window remains the same. ETH rewards are time-weighted and allocating to projects get you matched
🗓Application Deadline: 3 June, 2025 @ 11:59 pm PST
🛠 Who should apply?
Builders advancing Ethereum in 4 core areas:
1) Direct protocol improvements (consensus, execution, data availability, core networking)
2) Shared infrastructure (clients, testnets & tooling, p2p networking stacks, security & formal-verification frameworks, transparency)
3) Open dashboards, datasets, or studies (roll-ups, bridges, MEVs - resulting insights must strengthen Ethereum)
4) Protocol-level research + specification work (advancing Ethereum's roadmap)

GM Farcaster ep251 is out now! And yes, we mostly talked about FC Pro--consider yourself warned. And thank you to our premier partner @octant!

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster is a pro badge flex-a-thon, as the hosts debate the merits of paying $120 for a digital check mark that, in true Web3 style, doesn’t actually do much except trigger a bunch of memes about social hierarchy. From surprise NFT airdrops, to warp whale drama, to the realization that even 250,000 warps can’t buy you onchain friends, this episode proves that crypto’s greatest feature is still its ability to turn status symbols into jokes—live, on air, and with impeccable comedic timing.
