When you hear the phrase "the Ethereum community", what institutions do you think of first? (like: companies, organizations, groups, etc.)

Ultra honesty - while I’m mostly an Ethereum tourist (though I’ve shipped to mainnet/etc) and literally the only thing I think about when I hear Ethereum community is ETH foundation. Then if I pause for a bit I go - “oh yea and developers too I guess”?”

I would agree here. If I think harder I think about Devcon Bogota, which gave me a more pluralistic idea of the eth community. But it seems like the foundation is first, then maybe twitter influencers, then far behind is devs.

Yea I think where decentralized communities often miss (especially technical ones) is marketing 🫠

by "devs" do you mean application developers specifically?

For me (in this context) dev means solidity developers specifically Saying it out loud makes me go “hmmm yea I guess application developers should be a big part of the ETH community” but my brain defaults to assuming that the smart contract folks are the bulk of how I default view the “community”

ah interesting! I was using "application devs" in a very general way, meant to include developers who write solidity which forms part of an application, rather than just "developers who built the non-solidity components of an application".

the more broader definition of "dev" I have in mind includes: client developers, tools developers, people who maintain developer libraries, people who work on L2s not already captured by the above, etc.
