The address which minted this POAP participated in the KZG Summoning Ceremony: a publicly coordinated ritual to produce a random output. This output will be used in Proto-Danksharding, aka EIP 4844: an Ethereum scaling mechanism which will hopefully enable lower Layer 2 fees and greater global accessibility. EIP-4844 is expected to go live with the Dencun network upgrade in the near future. As of the time of writing, this ceremony was the largest setup of this kind when considering the number of contributions.

Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, clr.fund and EthStaker have teamed up to run a Quadratic Funding (QF) round with a 350,000 DAI matching pool dedicated to funding open source public goods for the Ethereum staking ecosystem. You either donated to a grant, the matching pool - or both! Thank you for your donation towards Public Goods!

One year ago today the POOL token was distributed decentralizing control of PoolTogether! In one of the most community centric distributions ever, 15% of all POOL tokens were given to all depositors on day 1. Since then community ownership has only increased. This POAP belongs to the POOL token holders that govern the PoolTogether protocol.

Topics for this week: -Extremely exciting product update -Liora & Alex sharing some of their thoughts -AMA Thank you for participating! See you at the next one ;)

I participated in the Zapper iOS mobile app's beta-testing period. Prior to the public launch of the app I helped with testing experimental features, and supplied feedback on my experience. I am a proud beta testooooor!

Almost a year ago, Berk created an immersive NFT collection with each image (or BGAN as some call them) generated via a GAN network. This was one of the very first instances of an AI generated NFT. Most of the BGANs have a solid background, but about 1/5th have a patterned background. An even smaller subset of are actually morphing gifs. There has recently been a growing trend to integrate PFP NFT’s [Profile Picture NFT’s] into the metaverse. This integration allows metaverse to participants walk around utilizing their NFT’s as pseudonymous identities. To import an NFT into the metaverse, some platforms require that the API’s for a given collection offer an endpoint that serves the NFT image with the background removed or transparent. Now in theory, this would be as easy as asking Berk for the set of original background-less images that the GAN initially produced. The problem was that most of the bgans were trained with colored backgrounds, so the outputs already had colors merged with the figures, erasing the possibility of separating them easily! Only a set of ~4000 BGANS existed that had no background, but that set wasn't 100% included in the final published BGAN collection. The community considered manually removing the backgrounds, but at 11305 images, not counting each frame of the Hypes, it was a monumental proposal. There had to be a better way, if only a machine could somehow learn… how to remove a background. This is where Witrebel came in. He coded a machine-learning AI that when matched with a human participant could remove these backgrounds! In commemoration of his success and to reward participation we have a POAP!
