@estmcmxci (ENS | Twitter)

Public Goods: P256 Precompile Support

  • Nick.eth has suggested stewards draft RFP to implement P256 Precompile.

    • There is no current estimation of cost.
    • There is existing development by opclave in EIP-7212: Precompiled for secp256r1 Curve Support – Proposal to add precompiled contract that allows signature verifications in the “secp256r1” elliptic curve.
    • Marcus has been speaking with Opclave and will open up a communication channel on behalf of PG WG.
      • To gather estimates of time, budget and to figure out the next steps, from both technical implementations and advocacy/championing to become a set standard.
  • Read the article written by @estmcmxci Public Goods: P256 Precompile Support
    • Reach out to Marcus (estmcmxci.eth) if you have further questions.

3. Discussion: What does Value look like for PG Grants?

Context - With the start of a new term stewards want to align on what Value means and hear from perspectives from the community.

  • Stewards are seeking feedback from members of the community to understand the questions:
    • What value looks like for publics goods grants?
    • What is impact?
    • Where are the things community thinks should be given value, seen or funded more?
  • Last term was experimentation process with small grants, growth grants, and large grants that additionally aimed for diversity & impact - not just impact based on clicks & likes - but impact on communities affected and impact of that public good funded.
  • Stewards, @alisha.eth, @marcus, @estmcmxci, daniel hannum, and others weighed in on the discussion including topics:
    • The benefits of democratising access and increasing the basket of people who will benefit.
    • Introducing milestone-based models to determine which things are genuinely delivered.
    • Funding being instrumental but sometimes secondary to getting the word out.
      • Exposure, marketing, awareness and enablement are very impactful and could be expanded.
    • Progression from small to growth to large grants (and ineligibility at each graduations) was a positively received
    • PG have an opportunity to create goodwill across communities as much as possible for ENS.
      • Finding ways to keep ENS at forefront of grants for brand visibility and encouraging builders.
      • Reaching projects who wants to receive grants and acknowledge, versus those who hide it and do not want association.
    • @estmcmxci shared article they wrote about @marcus story: Bringing Ethereum to Guatemala with Marcus AM
  • Stewards will put to spreadsheet distributions of last term and sample from community some assessments of value & impact.
  • Public Goods is always receiving feedback via Feedback Deform.
  • Canny Feature Request is available, where users can also upvote other items and see responses.
