"Ethereum Veteran Danny Ryan Joins Etherealize to Bridge Crypto with Reality"

Ethereum developer Danny Ryan has joined Etherealize as a co-founder, aiming to bridge Ethereum with the real world and complement co-founder Vivek Raman's efforts. Ryan's role will involve leveraging real-world adoption, encouraging sensible regulation, and advancing research and development within Ethereum's multiple layers. This move coincides with leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation and heightened investor concerns over Ethereum's declining price.

The Ethereum Foundation has launched the EF Silviculture Society, an advisory group composed of external individuals. This group will provide informal guidance to sustain Ethereum's commitment to open source, privacy, security, and censorship resistance. These core values are crucial for attracting skilled developers and maintaining the integrity of Ethereum's network.

Base has introduced new tools to enhance speed, simplicity, and scalability for crypto builders.

These innovations aim to make Base faster, simpler, and more powerful, supporting the growth of a global onchain economy.
