Ethereum Follow Protocol

@brantly.eth from https://ethfollow.xyz/

  • Thank you for Large Grant!
  • Proposed social graph protocol for Ethereum accounts
  • Run on L1 and L2
  • Ethereum missing social graph, EFP will solve that
  • ENS needs social graph protocol to fend off competition from Lens and Farcaster who have own naming service
  • Integration demo: https://demo.ethfollow.xyz
  • Docs: https://docs.ethfollow.xyz
  • Test API: Introduction | EFP Docs
  • If have ENS account, people can follow you even if you haven’t joined EFP. No claiming of handles, already have your ENS handle

First draft of smart contracts completed: https://github.com/ethereumfollowprotocol/contracts-beta/tree/master/src/beta

Milestones:

  • Indexer up and running in December
  • On track to have EFP onchain in Q1, testnet prior to that

Question: Why social graph public? Wouldn’t want private?
Answer: Storing onchain most robust way of storing things, puts user 100% in control. Are benefits to social graph being private, but also interesting when public. Follows, likes, blocks etc. being public sends signal

Note from @Coltron.eth: Excellent job of setting milestones and updating working group as a grantee

SiHer

Kara Howard from SiHer (https://kara.siher.eth.limo/), Web3 talent collective

  • Drive visibility for women and non-binary individuals in Web3
  • Partnering with EFP so can turn into media network
  • Asking for additional grant to bring more diverse individuals and related programs into Web3
  • Hosting virtual conference on 31 December; would love for ENS to be core partner along with LivePeer

4. Open space for additional topics

What makes for Public Good stewards for next term?

  • Bandwidth and time to dedicate to role
  • Context/ willing to investigate history of DAO, culture, and constitution
  • Continue and expand on Small Grants
  • Elaborate more on Large Grants; build home/front-end; possibly from DAO tooling
  • Evalauate and fund more technical projects
  • Put strategic / meaty / meaningful objectives in motion (e.g. partnerships, learn from existing initiatives, tracking milestones)
  • Set strong expectations within public goods stewards; public goods should consider experimenting without having a lead steward and having focused/shared responsibility (reduce bystander effect)

Will group continue scholarships?

  • Most likely won’t continue. Need to do close out post with recipients

Request to make voting process more clear for small grants

Last public goods meeting of term

  • Next week, 12 December
