 Okay, we have a very rough agenda that I've posted in the community call channel. Feel free to follow along, and with that we'll start with the recording here. Hi everyone, welcome to the JanuaryAphidium.org community call. We can start with a quick round of introductions. Then we'll highlight some of our community contributions. We'll discuss what's on our Q1 roadmap. After that there might be a pull-up, so stick around for that. Look, I'll spend a bit of time talking about our translation program, and we'll answer questions from the community. So as far as intros go, I can start. I'm Joshua from Glasgow in Scotland. I'm the community lead for aphidium.org. Feel free to ping me with any ideas or feedback you have for the community, or if you're interested in finding ways to contribute to aphidium.org. And I'll pass it to Paul. Hey everyone, it's just Paul. Wackero, I am a front-end dev here on the ethering.org team located up on the west coast in Oregon. I will pass along to Corwin. Hi everyone, I'm Corwin or Corwin Teens. I'm a web developer on this year about our team as well. And I live in Calgary, Canada. And yeah, if you have any questions about contributing to the code base, feel free to reach out. I'll pass it to Luca. Hey everyone, my name is Luca. I am working on the translation program for athium.org, and link the translation stuff. Yeah, based in Slovenia, Central Europe. I guess with that, I'll pass it on to Sam. Hey guys, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Yeah, my name is Sam, or Samajamin on Discord or GitHub. Thank you all for joining. Excited to be here for another community call. So yeah, I'm a developer as well as the team lead here at athium.org. And I'm based in Lake Tahoe, California. I'll pass it over to Pablo. Hello guys, hello everyone. My name is Pablo Pettinari. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. And yeah, as well, I'm working for the athium.org team, and I'm a front-end developer. I'll pass it back to Shosh. Awesome, yeah, I think that's everyone. Yeah, and once again, please, if you aren't speaking, make sure you're on your mics muted. One thing before we start this call, what we always like to clarify is this is the community call for athium.org, the website. And obviously not a community call that represents the athium network or the protocol directly. We have set up a slido for this call, which allows anyone to ask any questions they may have for the team. If someone from the team could help me out and just post that again in the community call chat if you've got any questions. You can be completely anonymous, please do drop them in. And as much as possible, we've tried to keep the conversation around athium.org itself, how to contribute. There's different ways in helping to push the ecosystem forward. If you've got any other questions, feel free to ask them and we'll do our best to answer. Okay, moving on to community contribution highlights. Yeah, so as I'm sure you're all aware, athium.org is an open source project. If there's anything on our roadmap or even if it's not on our roadmap that you'd like to contribute, you can get in touch a lot of the really high-value work on athium.org involves community members, taking the initiative on something that we feel really passionate about. So I am sharing my screen. The first thing we'd like to highlight was the work done by Joseph. I think I've seen him here on this call on our energy consumption page. So yeah, the page itself is just a marked-in file, so it's all text. We're looking to create a new template for that with our impending design hire on the roadmap. I digress a little. But the content itself is just awesome. It explains the overall goals of athium in terms of energy consumption, the sort of why athium's energy consumption is currently so high as to why burning energy for athium was necessary. It also prevents the current solutions to this problem, backs it up with hard numbers and highlights like the timeline of the marriage and things like that for solving this. And ends on a nice, I guess, optimistic note about our hopefully solar-punk future. The thing I really like about this and if you haven't seen it already, you should check it out because it assumes very little knowledge about athium itself as a protocol. So if someone who doesn't know what they're talking about says you shouldn't use athium because it's really harmful to the planet, then you can just drop them this link and I guess set the groundwork for a meaningful conversation on the problem itself. One thing we did want to highlight is that we did drop the ball on this a little bit. With the timeline it just took us to close in August. It took us until December to actually get it live. One thing we did was reflect on this as a result, outside of the work that we're doing for our roadmap and our goals that we've set, we've also committed to allowing no PRs that are made by the community to be open for more than one month so hopefully we can do a bit better in the future. That's all I've got to say on that. I think Luca went through the chat a little bit about the work done on our translation certificate. So I'll pass it over to him. Real quick, one fun fact I wanted to add on the energy consumption page just to give some data behind it that we launched the page just over a month ago. It's already received 10,000 page views and gets a couple hundred page views every day. Really good to see the impact that a community member can make just by contributing content. I think it shows the reach that the ERM.org has in terms of trying to provide a credible source of information for the community. I'm so excited to see it continue to be referenced elsewhere as well as something to point to. Moving on. Another major contribution that we wanted to highlight is the translator certificate that we introduced at the start of this year. I've just posted a link in the community called chat. This was designed by Scott an amazing developer who has been very active on Ethereum.org. He previously designed a lot of our PoApps suggested the designs for our community hub revamp. You can find him on our Discord as Scott won up. If you're looking to get some design work done he might be exactly who you're looking for. Thanks for the great work on this, Scott. We really do appreciate it. A couple of words on the translator certificate itself. This is our latest effort to acknowledge our translators and support them in any way possible. The requirements for the certificate are a bit more strict than other acknowledgments we have since this is somewhat more professional and we want to ensure we're issuing active translators providing high quality translations. The translators can use this as a reference if they are professional translators or want to start translating professionally. It can also serve as a basis to add another field of expertise to their translator portfolio something like that. Or contributors who aren't professional translators they can use as to show their active involvement in this space and showcase their dedication to Ethereum. Anyone else can just print this out and put it on their wall or whatever they want to do with it but yeah, we are happy we are able to acknowledge our translators in more positive ways that can help impact their curses their development of this space. This is the coin, the community. This is one of their people. Hi, so could everyone please make sure you are muted once again? Yeah, and just to add to what Luca was saying I'm sharing my screen just now if you want to check it out definitely caused a lot of jealousy and the teaming for the people who aren't bilingual and can't actually get this. So yeah, if you're interested in that please do check it out. So once again thanks to once again thanks to Joseph thanks to Scott for their contributions and just helping to make Ethereum.org just a little bit better. So moving on to our Q1 roadmap so it's the start of the year which means we've decided what we want to be working on for the next three months and we'd like to just spend a few minutes chatting about specific roadmap items so first up we've got Paul who's going to speak a little about our about our run-of-node Epic. Sure, go ahead one second I'll see if I can share my screen. Is that okay? So I know that one of the previous community call we had had a chat about one of the upcoming endeavors was to form a more user-friendly page to discuss running a node trying to bring it down to the level where you're potentially getting people who have never considered it, have no idea what is involved in it or may have previously thought that the only way to do this was to recommend line or required expensive machinery. So this is still in preview mode right now and there's still going to be some changes to it but I can just quickly walk you through the idea here. This page is, like I said, it's more geared towards a little bit of this before what it actually means to run a node and then kind of scrolls through and gives some emphasis to who, which is really anyone and that's kind of the point of this page is to emphasize that anybody who's part of this network should consider running a node and it is actually relatively easy nowadays. For why run a node, we got some different cards here and some different things that people can go through and read a little bit more on. This will change a little bit in the order when it finally goes live but the idea here is that we're going to have two different paths for people to pick from. You can either go down the build your own path or you can buy this thing fully loaded. There's a couple of different services that exist right now, DAP node and Avado that are both supply hardware that comes pre-loaded with software that will essentially make it an app-like experience, kind of a point click and literally control it from your mobile phone and you can manage some staking and using smaller, you know, lighter weight computers in here as well in some context as far as how far we've come. We used to be pretty much all command line based if you wanted to run a client and now we have some better options. Hopefully some people will be able to check this out and maybe reconsider the idea of running a node in the future. Obviously there's still a lot of nodes out there but the more the better. I would encourage everyone to check it out once it's live. Awesome. Thank you, Paul. And I'll remain everyone so we're going through this that we do have the slide though so if you have any specific questions about anything we cover, please do pop them in there and we'll try and get to them at the end. Sorry about that. Yeah, so next up I think Corwin wants to speak a little bit about the work he's been doing on the EVE 2.0 rebounds. So I should unmute myself. Sorry about that. Yeah, like you talk about the EVE 2.0 rebrand that we're doing on ethereum.org. This has been a pretty high priority work item for the start of this quarter. It's used or rather it's touched every aspect of our website from the translation program to what our developers are working on, just content to trying to rebrand away from the EVE 2.0, EVE 1.0 references for ethereum. Part of the reason we want to do this and the main reason is because EVE 2.0 has been kind of deprecated as a term for ethereum. Originally this was referring to the proof of stake chain in an old roadmap for that transition and has since changed with the merge to be referred to as the consensus client and then eth1 formally eth1 is now referred to as execution client and with this change we've gone through the website ethereum.org to reflect these changes in the naming. So if you go today and you look at the website you'll still see ethereum 2.0 We have a release coming out that was put up for version 3.7 of the website so today we'll be putting this release out and this changes from ethereum 2.0 to ethereum upgrades and within this change you won't see any references to eth1 or eth2 without them being like what happened to eth2 type of thing and we'll go in and explain eth1 is now the execution client on the handles, the transactions the data or as eth2 is now the consensus client so we're trying to move away as a community from referring to these two clients as eth1 and eth2 mostly to have an accurate representation of what's going on with the actual roadmap but also to try and move away from kind of an attack vector for scams so if you ever see someone come in to a discord channel or someplace you might find scammers being prominent if you ever see someone being like oh you need to switch your eth for eth2 to work on the proof of state chain or on the eth2 chain there is no eth2 if you want to make it clear there's no eth2 and if you see any malicious activity like that try and call it out and make sure that people aren't getting hurts in this attack vector of confusion with the term of eth2 but with that all being said we have a change with this roadmap to the upgrades so every page now you'll find whether it's the beacon chain, the merge, shard chains the vision all the pages that used to be under eth2 will now be just housed under upgrades this also will allow us to as the roadmap develops we can just throw it under the upgrades bucket of the website instead of trying to have to find a new section for this so it helps us avoid scope creep in our drop downs as well which is going to be great yeah, pass it back to Josh here thanks, thank you Corwin and I'll just reiterate that yes although the naming of Ethereum 2.0 or eth2 or whatever you want to call it is being phased out this doesn't change the actual Ethereum roadmap at all so don't freak out in that sense everything's still staying the same apart from we're just using a different name to hopefully be a little bit more accurate right, I'll reiterate that as well I'll just make sure it's very clear that this doesn't change the roadmap overall it is more just the naming change and it goes more for clarity I think there's a lot of confusion over the eth1 and eth2 names being sequential like one is after the other and replaces the other which isn't quite accurate over time eth1 has been used to refer to more the mainnet we're used to and eth2 has been used to refer to this other currently proof of stake beacon chain and in the end these are going to be merged together to replace the current consensus model for our current mainnet so it's not one leads to the next and when eth2 there is no one upgrade that leads to quote unquote eth2 it's a whole series of upgrades that are being rolled out over time obviously to handle the scaling problems and other issues that we have with the network so hopefully this helps clear things up where we have two different layers execution, consensus and they will soon be merged into one network thanks paul yeah so I'm going to share my screen again if you'd like to follow along the last item that I'd like to chat about is creating a web free explainer page on ethereum.org so this is a little bit earlier than the other two items we've just shown so we don't have anything nice and pretty to show you just yet one interesting thing to look at on our roadmap is this chart pretty steady for the last two years then in October of last year the search volume for web free just absolutely skyrocket so people are clearly motivated to learn about this and the problem that we've noticed is that when you search for what is web free you largely get you largely get a bunch of articles some of them are well written most of them aren't well written a few of them are just completely wrong so maybe a controversial opinion but I don't really think so I don't really believe that we want journalists who aren't really involved in web free and probably don't know what it is explaining web free to people who are interested in maybe taking a bit further we've just had the holiday season I'm sure many of you were sat around tables with family members who might have known about your interest in crypto I'm sure you got hammered with different questions about what is web free, what is this decentralization and magic internet money the whole idea of this page is to answer that question for people a sort of gentle introduction for non-technical individuals without all the buzzwords that you'd normally find in this sort of thing and as always because all of the items on our roadmap are on this site they're all open source so if you have comments, feedbacks or are interested in helping out in any way please do ping us in discord or leave a comment on the issue itself anything else anyone wants to add on the roadmap before we move on next up po-apps yeah so I'm sharing my screen on it and on the agenda itself there are some instructions for how to actually claim your quote so I've just put the passcode onto the screen share if you're interested in grabbing it it's all lowercase all one word January community to claim it you need to go to our discord server and in the top right you'll find the po-app bot just send a message to the po-app bot with the passcode once again that's January community all lowercase all one word and if you click on the link that the po-app bot sends you then you should be able to claim it to your wall address and we'll just wait a minute or so just to let everyone do that before we jump on to something else just what we've got this moment I'd just like to ask to make sure that you are muted if you aren't speaking otherwise when we get to the questions you'll be muted at the server level and you won't be able to speak up okay so let's give it another minute or so just after this our translation leap look at is just going to speak a little bit about the different translation efforts across the project just now so I'll stop sharing my screen and pass over to you so I guess we might as well just get into it as people are claiming their po-apps so the translation program as many of you probably know is an effort to get the website translated into as many languages as possible and make this content accessible to people who might who might not speak English at all or not speak English well enough to be able to learn in English especially about complicated topics such as Ethereum one thing that I wanted to highlight today is the recent update to source content in crowd-in and the new pages that we've uploaded to crowd-in so I've just pasted the link to the content versions page on the website where you can find more information about how we divide our content into different content buckets and what that what each content bucket contains let me just share my screen and show you in practice what that looks like so we've recently updated a lot of source content in crowd-in we do this occasionally in order to make sure we're actually translating the latest version of the website moving forward we plan on updating source content every month we have also uploaded new pages to crowd-in these are the pages that have been recently added to the website and aren't being translated yet examples of this contain the community hub the energy consumption page the Ethereum support page security and scam prevention page basically just the recent pages that have been added to the website similarly we have added all the recently added developer tutorials to crowd-in that weren't being translated yet these are some of the most popular developer tutorials on the website like the energy tutorial series similarly to the updates we will also be uploading new pages to crowd-in every month to make sure we're translating all the new content on the website and finally we have created some new content buckets which will allow us to get translated content reviewed and added to the website even faster this includes a specific content bucket for Ethereum upgrades that you can see here a specific content bucket for the community pages and also have divided the developer tutorials into different buckets based on their popularity based on the number of page views that these tutorials get so this will also allow us to add translated developer tutorials that are high impact that have a high volume of traffic to the website faster now as Corwin presented earlier we are also currently working on the ethere brand and moving away from using etheterminology once this is done we will need to get the updated content translated as well in order to remove mentions of etheterminology from the translation this means that the ethereum upgrades buckets so this is content bucket number 4 for anyone watching my stream or active in crowd-in this upgrades bucket will be updated again in crowd-in next week with the new content of etheterminology and we would definitely appreciate some assistance in getting this bucket translated as soon as possible so there will also be other notifications and we will highlight this and point it out to the community and for the time being this content bucket will probably be highest priority to get translated so that we can also move away from the etheterminology in the translations as well so yeah that's pretty much what I wanted to highlight about the translation program great thanks Luka thanks to all the translators involved in that work as well I'm going to share my screen again so for the remainder of the call we'll spend that on Q&A we have a list here ready to go courtesy of our Slido but feel free to add more as we go or if you want to you can unmute and speak up I guess we can just start with the most upvoted so yeah if you go through the list and you see something that you really want answered the likelihood is we won't get to absolutely everything so make sure you upvote the questions that you want to see answered the most top voted comment is from anonymous asking that saying hi I want to contribute but I'm not a coder anything else I can do and contribute to yes if you're bilingual please get in touch with us on discord and join the translation program if you understand the freedom well then find areas that we don't have content for on our site and make suggestions or write the content yourself or if you're just learning about a freedom I guess you can highlight any simple mistakes you might find on that site that's really helpful or perhaps you see something that's too complex call it out or maybe try rephrasing yourself to make it simpler for the the next person you can do that too anything I missed anyone yeah I would broadly just say I mean from a content perspective like it's hard to understate how valuable that is even if you don't code to help keep the website up to date as you folks are all probably aware like Ethereum as an ecosystem just moves incredibly fast right so like as ethereum.org continues to add new content for instance you know we highlighted this energy consumption page we now have hundreds of pages of content in English on the website which then gets translated into tens of languages to create thousands of pages on the website right like just making sure that resources are up to date that we're linking to accurate information that we're removing stale information it may not sound sexy but can be a very helpful way for you to kind of I mean keep tabs on the ecosystem and keep yourself up to date but also be able to help out the millions of people who are reading this content and helping ensure stuff stays up to date is like just a huge way to do that so in the community chat I link to our main contributing page from there there's a lot of detailed information whether it's adding products or community articles or you know new exchanges that might provide additional features adding glossary terms I feel like glossary terms are a nice easy one in the sense that with the translation program Luca talked about one thing we're really trying to do with Ethereum.org is like become a canonical resource for web 3 related translations all the content Ethereum.org is licensed under Creative Commons we want other projects to be able to use the translations that our community has put together to just make the entire ecosystem more accessible to more people from more languages overall right so like even if you only speak English there's open issues on GitHub to add additional glossary terms and add additional content that I think can have a huge impact across the ecosystem and it's a great way to you know build your resume and get noticed in the space as someone who's contributing to open source Yeah, thanks I would disagree on one thing I think fixing typos is definitely sexy and if you find any please do open an issue or a PR for it Next up we've got Jay I think Joseph I've seen you on the call Hey Joseph I said I was sorry about that Yeah, so Joseph says road maps great Re L2s to encourage adoption it's critical to explain why L2 over alternative layer ones and nuance over which L2 and why ideas to do this most effectively and this is on our roadmap I guess and we're building a layer to page I am very conscious that I'm talking a lot here if anyone wants to jump in and speak to this I'm happy to have this one Yeah, no thanks Jay Cook for posting this I definitely agree there is a big difference obviously between layer twos and alternative layer ones we do look forward to highlighting that soon we've talked about the ETH2 rebrand a couple of times now part of that change is going to be the slash ETH2 page on our website is now going to be slash upgrades which is going to broaden what it actually makes sense to go in that section for example potential EIPs and potentially layer 2 scaling solutions because there's more to the upgrades than just the protocol upgrades that were focused on scaling which is kind of the original bucket of ETH2 so as that broadens out I think that would be a nice home for that we've discussed this a little bit internally I'd like to bring some content about twos to that page but also discuss potentially having a dedicated layer 2 page and have this be something that's more beginner friendly and user friendly something that's not buried in the development many people are lay users are likely to miss I want to use that as an opportunity to help educate and explain what you're talking about here for differences we'll necessarily go into all those differences now but briefly they rely on Ethereum security essentially you can do a lot of things with L2s that keep the trust model of Ethereum at its core and you don't need to rely on a whole different distributed network or hopefully distributed network for the security of your funds and activities so definitely on the list I do agree that bringing more education around this stuff is pretty important and we're going to try to do that through the expansion of the upgrades page yeah and I think some things to note that we would be adding is like we'll obviously be talking about L2s what they are kind of like you were asking here but we'll also be talking about bridging so when you want to bridge your assets over internet or exchange we'll highlight some bridges that you would use we'll go into kind of like what bridges are so that we can clarify that because that's definitely an important piece to L2s at least to like understand how to get on to them at the very least so we'll highlight some information around that we'll also add some information around like resources for finding like token lists for let's say you're using a decentralized exchange looking at a little bit of a list on that page to make make it easier for users to use L2 as well and we'll probably link out to some pages like arbitrems portal which highlights applications that are on their L2s already so try and make it as accessible for someone new to see what's going on in L2 and quickly understand what it is versus kind of what's in our developer docs which is more of like a technical description of what L2s are Thanks Corwin, thanks Paul Joseph if you're still with us I know you're very into this stuff and you've probably put some thought into it before the question so if you've got any thoughts or ideas feel free to share them now or yeah okay thank you hello yeah well I mean that's great to hear everything you just said really the question just came to my mind when I was looking at the roadmap because it looked like what was there on the L2 was mostly practical instructions for how to onboard and I just think even now even fairly technical minded people that are already well into Ethereum it's easy to get confused about the firstly why you would use layer 2 if it's just cheap transactions why you would use L2 over just going on to another chain where the transactions are as cheap or possibly cheaper and also which L2 to use and you know you might spend a bunch of gas moving some funds over from layer 1 onto layer 2 and then not really know what to do once you've got there so it just seems like Ethereum.org is kind of a lot of people's gateway onto the whole Ethereum ecosystem and if we can optimize for explaining some of those things and why it's important to inherit security down from Ethereum layer 1 and you know even going into the multi-chain versus cross-chain arguments from Talix Post about why you might want to keep your funds on an Ethereum inside the Ethereum ecosystem rather than go into another chain might just be really useful for encouraging more adoption but I mean I guess that's just a bit of background to the question if you've kind of already answered it in your answers and I appreciate that, thank you. Yeah that's great, yeah I appreciate that and definitely you know Vitalik's discussion on this recently is definitely worth noting and we'll definitely go into how we frame the page in the future I appreciate it. I completely agree I think similar to what Paul just demonstrated with the run a node page that we'll be releasing soon it's critical to explain the why in addition to the what and the how and I think that's exactly what you're getting at of what are the specific benefits outside of just transaction fees that layer 2 provides and yeah if you folks do you have ideas to collaborate and we'll definitely continue to seek feedback as we iterate on that page but clearly that's a key component of it right like if there is an outage on this network can you recover your funds or are you completely reliant on whoever's operating that network important considerations when bridging your funds to anywhere else then layer 1 Ethereum. Thanks very much Joseph I guess we'll move on to the next question Sean what are you all most excited about in 2022 I like this question Sean are you with us on the call maybe? No? Maybe we could do a quick round robin with the team it's not very clear if you're talking about Ethereum or just generally so I guess I'll answer both I'm really excited for the marriage this year the adoption of L2s real world really excited to go on vacation overseas for the first time in a while with my son pass it to Paul Let's see yeah I'll try to keep it brief too I'll second the events IRL in real life events all year long and I'm just putting that out there in general I'll drop our events page in the community call chat check them out because there's a lot of them this year that are already planned there's more beyond just this which we are continuously trying to update this page to keep it accurate but a lot of events all over the world this year I plan to go to a handful of them obviously not all but I'd encourage everyone to check these because this is one of the especially if you're interested in getting involved in the community this question has already been floated these events can be excellent ways to go get your face out there go see other people in person who are working in space they're going to just people exude enthusiasm at these events so if you haven't been to one yet I would definitely consider checking one of them out if there's one nearby and you can't get tickets I would go anyways honestly go you'll see people there you can find people really really fun events definitely encourage everyone to check it out that being said also the merge definitely said about that who adoption watching the ever continuing expansion of dows in this space that's what I'm excited about pass along let's go Corwin what you got I think for myself both specifically what I'm excited about this year is L2 and bridging I think we are just starting to see player twos come online and more specifically like generalized L2 is kind of like arbitrum where you can deploy your smart contracts on there but I'm also curious to see what happens with more application specific L2 as well I think we'll see some cool stuff like the reddit like reddit partnered with arbitrum I believe but kind of seeing what some larger applications are going to be doing with layer 2 technology on Ethereum I'm curious to see where some mainstream adoption of Ethereum goes this year we just saw that twitter this week put out twitter blue or their NFT support in twitter blue at the very least and so I'm kind of curious to see where this goes with mainstream companies this year especially as we've seen Ethereum settle more more value than like the visa network for example in 2021 what type of things our other companies can experiment with on Ethereum so that's kind of what I'm excited just to see what type of adoption gets used this year with layer twos coming online and making it a little more accessible for people pass it on to Pablo I guess okay yeah for this year I would say of course the merge and yeah I agree with Corwin I would like to see more adoption on layer twos I want to see how the applications evolve in arbitrum or optimism I'm looking forward to that yeah talking more about the site the ethereum.org site I would say I would like to see if we could make more web 3 features on the site and yeah make that transition I don't know if that is going to be possible this year but yeah I would like to do that okay I pass it to Luca so excited about a couple of things first of all the merge it's been in the works for a while looks like this is going to be the year that is going to be super exciting and I'm also like the guys have already mentioned very excited about layer twos specifically the improvements that they are making and will continue to make the year has started off incredible optimism just on board curve AVE governance has voted to deploy AVE on optimism they've had two 30% few reductions in the last two weeks alone the arbitrary ecosystem is already large and keeps on expanding TarkNet just came out with a massive upgrade this week that and they basically contain all the functionality you would expect from a production ready blockchain ZK Sync is making improvements and is ready to onboard more people so yeah the ZK rollups in particular are looking like they're making progress and I feel like this year so many more people are going to get onboarded to layer twos and experience what it is to use Ethereum with instant confirmations and super low fees and I feel like most people will be surprised by how amazing layer twos can be and will stay there forever basically that's what I'm excited about and with that I guess that's it all on to Sam yeah thanks guys I mean all I guess just echo what everyone mentioned I think a lot of great points I'd second Paul's point in particular I think if folks on the call have never been able to attend like a real life Ethereum event I know it is like a fortunate privilege to be able to do so but I would highly recommend it just like the friendly community the contagious energy the atmosphere it's a lot of what pulled me into the space and keeps me around so I know I'll be at ETH Denver in less than a month if anyone's going to be there feel free to reach out would love to connect and I'll post a link specifically DevCon which we haven't had an event since DevCon Osaka in Japan in 2019 that's essentially the annual primary conference that the Ethereum foundation puts on every year and I would say is seen as somewhat of the main event in the Ethereum world each year and that'll be in Bogota, Colombia later this year so pretty stoked for that hope folks can make it I know a lot of moving pieces with with events this year otherwise you know plenty of virtual virtual based metaverse conferences to potentially try out but yeah highly encourage people to get involved with those and can be a great way to you know connect with people find new jobs find interesting opportunities so I think worthwhile if you can make it happen yeah I'll plus one that I just want to make maybe a second just to make some space in case anyone on the call wants to unmute and ask a question and feel free to do so if not we can just move on to the other questions but again you don't have to feel shy cool we'll move on we've got another question from anonymous asking how do we stop the scammers from ruining crypto as education that won't be answer I think so education in time I guess we already have the page on a security page on aphelion.org is there more we can do to help with this problem? probably I also think that overtime as more people start to understand the pitfalls of crypto things will get better as well this happens with every evolution of money if you're interested in diving into that rabbit hole a little bit I'd really recommend everything that Robert Breedliffe has written on his blog I'll post a link in the chat to that anyone else have any thoughts on this? yeah I agree I think education is going to be a big part of it however I don't think it'll ever just go away I mean there's scams that are littered throughout our world in different forms where there's the opportunity to take advantage of people for economic gain people are going to try I think it's going to be a combination of education as things that scored captures and blockers things that you know fortunately have to put people through to try to clean up these these social spaces online to try to limit you know who gets in unfortunately you have to go through on a regular basis and ban people from the server because they're they're obviously trying to take advantage of people in different ways that's not always clear for us you know who is who is not it's a challenge for sure I'm going to do to open suggestions I do think it's going to get better with time we'll learn a bit more but sadly I don't go away fully to be honest yeah I agree next question from Ammar what are you doing to make Ethereum more accessible I guess that depends on what you mean by accessible so we do have our Q1 ethic around accessibility I'd be curious if Pavel maybe wants to weigh in on that and that's about the yeah go ahead yeah sure so yeah as Josh mentioned this is a goal for us for this quarter it was a goal too in our previous quarter but for different reasons we couldn't make it so to give a little bit of context we are trying here to make our website more accessible for everyone basically we have users that navigate our site only using the keyboard for example or using a screen reader so we want to make the site accessible and that is have a good experience navigating with those devices so answering the questions I would say that at first we are planning to basically make an audit in our code and trying to follow well-known guidelines or standards from the web3 for example and then we want to improve the navigation experience using screen readers or navigating the site with only the keyboard so we are going to audit first and then of course we are open to hear suggestions from you guys we don't have any accessibility expert in the team so we are open to suggestions and finally I just want to mention that this goal is difficult to establish an scope it's a never-ending goal to increase the accessibility so for sure we will have in the future more goals on improving the accessibility of the site so happy if you have any suggestions or if you want to discuss this on the chat or you can message me I also have a couple of very quick points I'd like to add so if you are talking about making ethereum.org more accessible we have the translation program the goal of which is to make the content related to ethereum more accessible to everyone who might not speak english or maybe they don't feel comfortable reading in english learning about highly technical topics in english if you are talking about making ethereum more accessible in regards to fees use layer 2s you inherit the security of ethereum and the fees are minimal that's it just go back to very broad topic and also in terms of content I think most of the content on our roadmap is also aimed at making ethereum more accessible certainly the webreaksplaner, layer 2 page, a wallets revamp, run and owed all of that we are trying to tackle that problem from quite a few different angles very conscious of the time we can quickly fire through a couple more what sort of plans are there to highlight more of the public good space from rory that's a really good question not one I immediately have an answer for, maybe someone else on the team wants to speak a little bit about the other work I've been doing with the CLR yeah I can touch some on that I think that's Roy a great question we encourage input on that I mean it's a pretty broad area but obviously the ethereum community and the crypto community more broadly are realising like hey this technology gives us some incredible coordination power whether it's focused on climate change or open source software or public goods generally like this global movement does have the capability to influence a lot of change and a lot of capital formation that even nation states can't necessarily tackle on their own so the whole design space and the opportunity space is pretty boundless so we definitely want to do what we can to highlight that we do call out certain public goods on our grants page which basically just shows different grant opportunities that people can find who are trying to for instance build open source software or public education goods so there are paths to receive funding through that you know on our DAPS page for instance we mention get coin grants as a well known crowdfunding platform for public goods and our team over the past almost year part time has been contributing to a project clear fund clr.fund and I guess I just touch on that you know the ethereum foundation is thinking about this more holistically and more broadly in the sense that you know the ethereum foundation is a non-profit and our primary activity is giving money to public goods in the space to just like benefit the ethereum ecosystem more broadly and you can find allocation updates on blog.ethereum.org around how the ethereum foundation thinks and about how they distribute those funds encourage you to check out a recent post on the client incentive program for instance and it's not something our team focuses on specifically but I can tell you the ethereum foundation is looking to experiment with more ways of funding public goods and distributing and decentralizing the power of deciding which projects receive those goods so if you have ideas maybe it's you know creating an additional use case on ethereum.org to specifically talk about crowdfunding potential and like ability to coordinate and fund public goods just to help grow awareness of like what public goods actually are how much our world relies on them in general I think it's a much broader movement that's bigger than just ethereum.org but I think there's definitely stuff we can do and again would encourage input on it because yeah I think it's a huge opportunity and a very important space for us to potentially help solve yeah great answer thanks Sam so we've seems we've not managed our time very well I'm aware we've got quite a lot of questions left but I think we're going to have to call it at that what I would do after the call is we'll go through and just spend some time answering all of these questions in the community call chat so even now if you've got another question like answered feel free to pop it in there and I'll spend a little bit of time later on today just going through those and answering them for you and with that yeah sorry go ahead I was going to say real quick the Slido in the future do use this method again just encourage people take a look at the questions that are there and upvote ones that may be similar to a question you if possible the way we don't kind of fragment the same question over multiple things and then they end up lower down on the list that's one little hack to try to get your question answered yeah great point thanks Paul so yeah I think we'll call it at that thank you so much everyone for attending sorry if we never got to your question but we'll answer that later hopefully and we'll see you all again next month hopefully thanks everyone take care thank you thanks everyone thanks everyone
