Kinda amazing that in order to save a dataframe as a Google Sheet in a specific location (using Colab) you need to import six packages, authenticate twice, and write two janky try/except blocks.

It's *just* an optimization problem.

Fall in love with the problem, not the mechanism

I can’t believe I just discovered @DialecticPod. I’ve spent 4-5 hours biking and binge listening to it this weekend.

173 incredible submissions. 7 impactful projects. 1 JokeRace round. Octant's Design for Ethereum contest. > This was a tough one. We were blown away by all the participants and all the work y'all put in! > We anticipated we'd get interest, but THIS many quality submissions. Phew. Y'all are AMAZING! > Re the selection process, each team chose their winner. > Now for the winners. Check out their designs below. We absolutely love them!! 💝 > To all our participants and designers: thank you for showing up and caring about Ethereum and the teams helping our industry grow. 💝 IMP: To all our winners: Please DM us/reach out for next steps.

1/ Three months after Futarchy and the Grants Council each selected 5 projects to receive growth grants, we’re exploring how the selected projects fared in terms of Superchain TVL increase! We’re also rewarding the top forecasters based on prediction accuracy.

🥁🥁🥁 After an amazing two weeks in Berlin, we’re ready to share our big news. Our Epoch 8 cohort! 🥁🥁🥁 But some notes first. This was an incredibly competitive round. As we gear up for v2 and get more experimental, we made some tweaks this epoch We defined our theme and what we wanted to fund: teams advancing Ethereum's roadmap in 4 areas 🔹 Direct protocol improvements 🔹 Shared infrastructure 🔹 Open dashboards, datasets, or studies 🔹 and finally protocol-level research and specification work Why so specific? This is a result of learnings from past epochs. We’ve realized having more designed themes and categories helps in selection and more importantly evaluation later. You can’t compare projects when the round and categories are vaguely defined. It would be like comparing apples and oranges. And how’d we decide? Because this was a more specific round, instead of a Snapshot vote, we selected the cohort through multiple internal reviews. If you applied in this epoch, you probably noticed a more detailed application process. This was intentional so we’d be able to work with as much information as possible and more datapoints for the final selections. We had multiple review cycles, including due diligence and technical reviews. Our selection boiled down to a few factors, including direct impact, past verifiable contributions, critical infra needs, strategic importance to Ethereum’s roadmap, and clear verifiable deliverables. With hundreds of talented applicants and only 30 spots, it was tough making this decision. That said, we were SO impressed with everyone, and we’re feeling more bullish than ever about the future of Ethereum. So who’s part of the cohort? Without further ado, please welcome our Epoch 8 cohort: • @solidity_lang • @vyperlang • @official_fe • @powdr_labs • @ProtocolGuild • @dappnode • @Commit_Boost • @eas_eth • Samba • @orbit_db • @ephemerytestnet • @AestusRelay • @ricmoo • @EthereumRemix • @argotorg • @ShutterNetwork • @Verifereum • @L2beat • @defillama • @growthepie_eth • @OSObserver • @blobscan • @blockscout • @stablewatchHQ • @defiscan_info • @numtel1 • @0xBundleBear • @realagnopraxlab • @buidlguidl So what’s next? In the next few weeks, we’re going to be hosting livestreams ++ sharing more about the teams. We’re excited for you to learn more about them and all the great work they’re doing. Our allocation window opens on 11 July, so make sure to mark your cal. Happy allocating soon 💝

👋 Today we launch the Dev Tools Guild! Our mission is to accelerate #Ethereum app development through world-class tooling. Think @ProtocolGuild, but for Dev Tooling. 🧵 👇
