I thought this was such an amazing add, I would love to see what a creative director like this could create for something like Ethereum.
Would it be worth trying to fundraise something?

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs): Revolutionizing Governance on Ethereum
What is a DAO?
A DAO is a digital organization on Ethereum, governed by smart contracts and driven by token-holding members. In 2023, over 12,000 DAOs were managing more than $20 billion, promoting transparent and decentralized decision-making.
The Rise of DAOs on Ethereum
Ethereum has been the leading platform for the creation and operation of DAOs, thanks to its robust smart contract capabilities. Some key milestones in the rise of DAOs include:
- The DAO- 2016: Raised over $150M in Ether but faced challenges due to a security flaw, sparking interest in decentralized governance.
- 2021 DAO Boom: DAOs surged, with over 4,000 managing $10B+ in assets by year-end, reflecting growing confidence in decentralized governance.
- DeFi DAOs: Major DeFi protocols like Uniswap, Aave, and MakerDAO are governed by DAOs. As of 2023, Uniswap's DAO controls a $3B+ treasury, showcasing the scale of decentralized finance.

Ethereum Beacon Chain Update: Paving the Way for Ethereum
The Ethereum Beacon Chain, launched on December 1, 2020, is crucial in Ethereum’s move to Eth2. It marks the start of the shift from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS).
What is the Ethereum Beacon Chain?
The Beacon Chain is a new blockchain running alongside Ethereum’s Mainnet, managing the PoS system. Instead of using energy-hungry miners like in PoW, PoS relies on validators who stake their ETH to confirm transactions and create blocks.
This shift makes Ethereum greener and more efficient, with the Beacon Chain laying the groundwork before full integration into the Mainnet.

Hop into our Discord, and you'll see Ian pouring his heart into EQL. He’s building something real, something everyone can vibe with. In a recent convo, Ian asked Dodge Dev if the codebase was making sense. Dodge, not being a hardcore Rust dev, could only catch the basics. Ian's reply? He’s gonna drop some fire docs to make sure anyone, no matter where they’re at, can get it.
Ian’s not just creating a tool; he’s crafting something he'd actually use—a simple yet dope way for anyone, no matter their tech level, to query the Ethereum Virtual Machine with a SQL-like twist.
He knows EQL’s got a journey ahead, even saying it might lag behind Dune Analytics, the go-to for on-chain analysis. But Ian’s all about those crypto-native vibes—decentralization, open access, and breaking barriers. That’s the energy driving Ian and the soul of EQL.

From hacking his neighborhood's Wi-Fi at 13 to being a co-founder.
This is the story of Ahmed Mardeni, a 23 year old builder and cofounder of WeaveDB
At 13 years old, Mardeni began his tech journey in Syria amidst the turmoil of the civil war. Despite facing dire circumstances, including limited electricity, slow internet, and constant danger of the ongoing wars at the time, he taught himself cybersecurity using YouTube videos.
His first major milestone was hacking his neighborhood’s Wi-Fi network(which isn't very noice haha). While that could have led to illicit activities, Ahmed chose the Path of Ethical Hacking, which earned him small bounty wins on HackerOne and HackBox.
He hacked a major Middle Eastern company, gaining access to thousands of users’ data, but learned a tough lesson on responsible disclosure. Afterwards, he became a penetration tester for an Iraqi firm, securing government apps.

Ethereum's Role in the 2017 ICO Boom: Fueling a New Era of Fundraising!
Ethereum ignited the ICO boom between March and December 2017, revolutionizing how startups raised funds. With countless projects leveraging Ethereum, it transformed the blockchain space and redefined capital raising.
Before 2017, startups relied on traditional funding like VCs and IPOs. Then came ICOs, changing the game by allowing projects to issue tokens for Bitcoin or Ethereum. Ethereum’s smart contracts made this process quick and accessible, democratizing fundraising and sparking innovation globally.
The 2017 ICO boom was powered by Ethereum:
- Smart Contracts: Automated funding, reducing fraud and boosting trust.
- ERC-20 Standard: 80% of ICOs used ERC-20 tokens, making it the go-to choice.
- Accessibility: 2M+ Ethereum addresses joined the ICO wave.
- Decentralization: No central control—just pure, decentralized fundraising.
