Welcome to the Berlin Ethereum Meetups! Join us as we explore technical and non-technical topics around Ethereum, FOSS technology, privacy, security, censorship resistance, self-sovereignty, and public goods. You can connect with others and even find ways to collaborate on building a more decentralized future. Our meetups are open to all - from those new to Ethereum to long-standing community members and developers. 🗓️ **Agenda** *(subject to change)* 🕕 6:30 - 6:45 pm - Arrivals 🕡 6:45 - 7:00 pm - Ecosystem & Community Updates by Eniko (Ethereum Foundation) 🕡 7:00 - 7:30 pm - Public goods funding on Ethereum: past, present, and future by Martin Hansen (Ethereum Foundation) *Ethereum depends on work that no one has an obvious incentive to pay for: client development, research, tooling, and documentation. This talk traces how the ecosystem has tried to fund that work - from early grants to quadratic funding and retroactive rewards - and covers where those approaches have succeeded and where they’ve fallen short. It closes by highlighting the open problems the space is still working through.* 🕖 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm - Open discussions and community time The event is sponsored by [Gnosis](https://www.gnosis.io/). The talks will be recorded and uploaded to our [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@ethereumberlin). Subscribe to stay up to date!
