This year we celebrate 10 EthCCs! Next April ➡️ back to Cannes. EthCC is where the industry grew up, bringing together the people & ideas that have shaped where the industry is today and what comes next. We have a lot planned. 📅 April 12–15, 2027 See you there :)

Encryption is on the table in Brussels, and with it, the question of whether private communication survives as a right or becomes a permission. Yesterday our Executive Director @MarinaMarkezic was there for a meeting on Chat Control, and the start of a more systematic push from our side. This is not a topic that fits in a single post: the process is procedurally complicated, the proposal is complex, and what's happening in the EU is one instance of a global pattern. We'll be sharing more about it soon, and if you work on this, or want to be part of the response, our door is open. csa-scientist-open-letter.or…

Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy. The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure. Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation. What we believe: • We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person. • We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum. • We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone. • We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them. We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products. Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future. We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development. We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong. We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: join@ethlabs.org

HIRING: a research associate to help us advocate for Ethereum & DeFi in Europe: TLDR: - Data reports on: - - Decentralization & DeFi taxonomy - - Tokenization & Stablecoins - - European Ethereum ecosystem - Ideally an enrolled student - Part-time under @EuEthInstitute 👇

🔹 L'Adan dévoile son 5e Baromètre annuel sur l'adoption des crypto-actifs en France et en Europe. Un événement au ministère de l’Économie et des Finances, en présence de @Amiel_David_, Bertrand Dumont, et des principaux représentants du secteur pour analyser ces résultats.

DeFi meets TradFi, but make it legal ⚖️ This afternoon's workshop dives deep into governance, compliance and privacy where decentralized and traditional finance converge. MiCA, Recital 22, stablecoin regulation, AML frameworks, all of it. In collaboration with Christina Frankopan, @MarinaMarkezic & Adriana Ennab (@standwithcrypto) 📍 Vision Room | 14:00 - 17:00 ethcc.io/ethcc-9/agenda?sear…

Congratulations @c_spelliscy! 🎉 The job openings are huge opportunities for fellow policy geeks. Very interesting to see global policy efforts taking shape at the EF and what this could unlock regionally.

You’ve been heads down, building. Now it’s time to share. 🎙 EthCC is where your work meets the people who care. 🌍 6,000+ builders, researchers & founders 💡 Your insights can inspire & move Ethereum forward. We’re listening. Take the mic. Apply to speak! 💙❤️🩵 (link in comment)

The Apps of Ethereum ✨ ethereum.org/en/apps/

ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows. in that time: - facebook went down for 14 hours - aws kinesis froze for 17 - cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters - alt L1s…well, you know. every centralised giant blinks, they rely on on-call humans and scheduled downtime. but ethereum never stops, not through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and every kind of drama the internet can throw at it. and it’s not thanks to a CEO or a hotline. it’s not because someone saved it. it’s because we all did. devs, stakers, researchers, users, millions of us, scattered across the world, choosing to show up, block after block, year after year. while banks fail, clouds go dark and servers get patched, ethereum keeps going. we keep going. ten years online. forever to go.

you should really be a decentralization maximalist because it's the only cool thing about crypto. the only way to not sound lame articulating any of this is as the unstoppable coordination of internet money; anything else and you just sound like the guy who uses ubuntu

gm, Only 5 more days until #Ethereum 10th anniversary 🥳. We're throwing a party with @Ethereum_France next Wednesday in Paris, see you there if you're in town.

Ethereum France fête les 10 ans d'Ethereum ! Rendez-vous le 30 juillet, en présentiel au bar Le Truskel sur Paris et à distance sur Discord pour ce meet-up commémoratif ! Nous y discuterons de l'évolution du protocole depuis une dizaine d'année avec de nombreux invités... 📷 @jdetychey , @NathanSexer , @barnabemonnot, @gballet et @disiaque_eth seront présents pour échanger sur l'avenir du protocole ! Ce meet-up festif sera l'occasion de nombreuses surprises : un POAP exclusif pour fêter les 10 ans d'Ethereum, mais aussi le tee-shirt Ethereum France pour les adhérents à jour de cotisation... L'événement se terminera par un appel à participation pour organiser les meet-ups de la rentrée ! On vous attend nombreux ! Sur Paris 👇 meetup.com/fr-FR/ethereum-fr… Sur Discord 👇 discord.gg/BhAfq2mn?event=13…

Ethereum is a sociotechnical polycentric transglobal fraternity of multivariant stakeholders ignited by a rich array of cultural imaginaries but which are ultimately bound together by the ineliminable core of the Cypherpunk values of decentralisation, permissionlessness, censorship resistance and credible neutrality, themselves philosophically secured by a confident Social Layer, in particular the ideologically-driven parts of the wider community. - @post_polar_
