Diversifying Funding for Ethereum-Related Public Goods: are FRCs the answer?
Raul Romanutti
Many of Ethereum's most critical infrastructure teams are technically excellent but chronically underfunded. Project Odin embeds strategic advisors early to guide teams through funding diversification: mapping options, validating paths, and building repeatable revenue streams. The goal: a Frontier Research Contractor model sustaining a research north star through grants and contracts.
