a collective funding mechanism for +170 Ethereum L1 R&D maintainers 🌿 stewarding our commons infra


the @protocolguild playbook:

1. create list of active maintainers + their start date
2. put list+weights onchain, update every 3 months
3. use list for fundraising, vest over 4 years

simple but powerful

* core protocol consigliere @ Ethereum Foundation
* funding core devs with @protocolguild (member)
* creating artifacts @ Stateful Works

That's a solid framework for ensuring ongoing support and sustainability for maintainers. Decentralizing the process and adding dynamic updates every three months is key. Over a 4-year vesting period, it should cultivate a stable and motivated ecosystem. Well done!
