ENS Public Goods Working Group: Funding Remix Labs & Fabric

Update from the Remix & Fabric teams 2nd October 2025 delivered on PG weekly call:

Remix updates

  • Remix received a $50k grant from ENS Public Goods WG.
  • This represents 25% of the total match they’ll be getting from EF over 2 years.
  • Remix has completed its first quarter as a dual entity.
  • Launched the first iteration of their new platform.
    • Initially, just a public presence for Remix
    • Eventually, there will be login access to various instances of Remix.
  • ENS is represented on the platform as a public good partner.
  • An impact page is being developed to characterize the impact of the grant.
    • It will evolve into an open-source observer and Dune analytics.
  • Discussions with Open Source Observer are ongoing
    • The aim is to improve how impact is characterized.
  • Discussions about integrating ENS as a login into Remix.
    • The idea involves ENS login and creating a dedicated subdomain.
    • This would allow users to have dedicated storage and test contracts without linking to public information.
  • Regular updates will be posted, including progress on ENS integration.

Fabric updates

  • Full presentation.
  • Commit-boost repo.
  • Fabric knowledgebase.
  • Fabric is a nonprofit focusing on out-of-protocol infrastructure for Ethereum, with a shift towards in-protocol aspects.
  • Two main efforts: Fabric (based rollups and pre-confirmations, focus of the ENS grant) and Commit Boost.
  • Commit-boost is entirely grant-funded, aiming to avoid venture capital.
  • ~30% or more of validators on Mainnet are running Commit Boost.
  • Teams are launching pre-confirmation protocols in production.
  • Commi-boost has significant adoption on the mainnet.
    • The main registry contract has undergone 2 audits.
    • Integrations are in progress across multiple teams.
  • The Fabric website compiles research on based rollups and pre-confirmations.
  • The focus was always on based rollups to heal fragmentation because of synchronous composability.
  • Realization: synchronous composability can be achieved without running a based rollup, as long as coordination with validators making pre-comp commitments is possible.
  • Goal: put together a testnet working with different teams for end-to-end pre-confirmations integrated with the based rollup.
  • Target date: DevConnect (cross fingers).
  • Continue pushing on synchronous composability research in and out of protocol.
