The importance of public goods in the Ethereum ecosystem
Public goods are essential for the Ethereum ecosystem, as it relies on open-source software and protocol research. Without proper funding, more centralized solutions may emerge, limiting user power. Public goods funding within Ethereum is valuable due to its decentralized nature. Funding mechanisms like quadratic funding and retroactive public goods funding are being developed to address the challenge of identifying and funding important projects. The goal is to create an ecosystem where contributions to public goods are automatically rewarded and expectations of long-term funding guarantees are established.
