I'm not sure how much better EF has gotten under @tkstanczak, but I can relate to this firsthand 🙋. Between late 2023 and early 2024, we were working on a state-of-the-art protocol in private voting as a public good, and a friend connected us to EF. Although we didn't really need money back then, it would still help to stop paying out of pocket, and getting EF support behind you would be massive for any small project. What I didn't expect was for me and the engineering lead from our team to get on a call with an EF intern, who demanded that we give her a list of all clients and blockchain foundations that we had previously worked with, in order to prove that we were "Ethereum aligned". I stopped responding and never messaged in that chat again, even after they followed up with us.
I am confused. So who is EF paying/supporting? While building on ETH I have burned over 700 ETH on deployments and ETH infra. I tried contacting EF, never a response, no BD outreach, no grants, 0 support, not even a retweet. When I started helping out with Sonic eco I was actually confused since the majority of teams got BD support, grants, TVL, audits, and constant marketing support, I had assumed EF was the norm. But if it isnt the core builders, Peter & geth, and it isnt the loudest L2 supporters (Sandeep and Polygon), where is it going?
