Protocol Guild is a collective funding mechanism supporting over 180 Ethereum mainnet contributors, including researchers and developers. By ensuring stable funding for these essential roles, Protocol Guild enables contributors to focus on core software maintenance, scalability, security, and network upgrades, ultimately benefiting the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
Protocol Guild is a collective funding mechanism for +180 Ethereum mainnet contributors: researchers, client devs, coordinators, and support. Their ongoing work is fundamental to the maintenance of core software, scaling and security, and network upgrades.
We believe that core contributors shouldn't have to choose between this crucial stewardship work and financial incentives available elsewhere. When this work has stable funding, the entire ecosystem benefits.
As a full-time contributor to the Protocol Guild, Cheeky spends their time building norms around setting aside a portion of Ethereum's ecosystem revenues to fund core protocol work.
