(1/🧵) 10 Ways Ecosystem Teams Support Builders 🤝
There's been some discourse about ecosystem roles, what they entail, how they interact with BD, devrel, and operations, and how they can support an ecosystem without exerting control over it.

I don't buy into "build it and they will come". An ecosystem needs to be designed and fostered. Give teams the freedom and power to build what they want, and help them to achieve this.

Here's the 10 top things I believe an ecosystem team needs to align on and execute on daily:

1. Finding, chatting with, and onboarding all of our new partners, dapps, DEXes, lending platforms, vaults, stablecoins, LSTs, NFT marketplaces, prediction markets, memecoins, launchpads, ai agents, etc

2. Asking about all their dependencies and onboarding all the infra they need: oracles, bridges, block explorers, subgraphs, RPC nodes, validators, wallets/exchanges, etc

3. Fleshing out and negotiating all the grants, investments, and liquidity deals

Building and nurturing an ecosystem requires strategic alignment and daily execution. Partner onboarding, infrastructure support, and financial agreements are key pillars for success in this endeavor.
