Gentlefrens

Last week, we announced ourselves and outlined what we plan to do for EthereansOS. In roughly 30 hours, the EthOS treasury split is set to execute, redistributing funds into our ecosystem, with over $30,000 bound for EthOS Delegations. This represents the tangible value that only truly on-chain governance can provide, and as $OS holders, you can seize this opportunity to direct that value to us.

As Frens, we will ensure that every last gwei returns maximum value to all $OS holders, especially those who stake their trust in us. This article elaborates on how we will achieve this. We believe you will come away from reading it as our supporters.

A New Frenship

How to Stake for Frens Delegation

Frens Delegation is the newest Delegation in the EthereansOS ecosystem. The ten that have come before us and which remain active are already attached to the EthOS Organization. Ten is the maximum; there is no space for us to attach ourselves too, at least for now. To account for this, we have formed a frenship bond with Toby, the well-respected leader of the Exchange Hunters Delegation. To ensure Frens Delegation receives funds from the split tomorrow, Toby has agreed to accept stakes on our behalf; following the split, he will send our funds to our multisig (precise amount TBD).

To support Frens Delegation, stake your $OS in Exchange Hunters here:

Note that until we are able to attach ourselves to the EthOS Organization, we will exist onchain as a multisig controlled by Slen, MyInverted and CD. We may deploy this multisig on Optimism; join our Telegram channel and stay tuned:

Communications

Soon after the treasury split, the new EthereansOS dApp will release.

This will be a watershed event in the history of EthOS.

We are anticipating a wave of adoption and want to help our community keep track of everything. At present, there is no universal information resource for the ecosystem, keeping up with the few active deployments we have now is challenging. As more are deployed, the average $OS holder will no longer be able to keep up at all.

Not without a little help from some Frens.

Through Reports, PondTalks, information aggregation and editing services, Frens will keep the community and the broader cryptosphere informed about EthOS.

Periodic

Reports

Within two weeks of the dApp release, we will publish our first Report on EthereansOS. From then onward, we will publish a Report every month. Reports will provide comprehensive summaries of everything that has happened regarding EthOS during the preceding month. Fair and impartial, these will not only inform the community but provide exposure to projects, which will naturally benefit deserving ones.

Reports will monitor and safeguard the health of the EthOS ecosystem. Additionally, they will contribute to the universal FrenBase resource we discuss below.

PondTalks

Each Report will be followed by a PondTalk. This will take place on a separate date that falls before that of the next Report but which is otherwise flexible. Hosted on our socials, PondTalks will follow productive agendas that feature presentations, open discussions and other recorded as well as prepackaged content that can be shared to educate not only our community but also others.

PondTalks will focus on issues highlighted by their attendant Reports as important for the community, and contribute a community-led component to FrenBase.

Continuous

FrenBase

FrenBase will be our core Communications offering. An all-encompassing encyclopedia in multimedia, it will provide an accessible information resource for the EthereansOS ecosystem. Whenever anyone wants to learn about EthOS or find content about it to share with others, FrenBase will be there.

A clearly ambitious endeavor, FrenBase will take time to build, but will be worth the educational value. Additionally, we will research potential solutions for truly decentralized information publication and adopt one if we can.

Editing

We will serve as restless editors on the fly, reviewing communications published by not only the team but all projects in the ecosystem, refining them and submitting our refined versions to teams for republication.

In addition, we will develop an editorial style guide for EthOS communications that define usage rules for project-specific language.

Frenship

The real gains are the frens we make along the way.

Onboarding

Frens will research, target and engage with other communities, selecting them on the basis of shared values and productive potential, with the intent of not only onboarding them to our own but also the no-coding required, lay-person friendly EthOS platform. As a truly decentralized project, EthOS will benefit more than others from a vibrant, diverse and growing community. To a lesser extent, we will extend our outreach to developers as well, with the same goal of raising the adoption rate of the EthOS stack.

Representation

Our community has untapped potential. Given that we have come together over shared interest in on-chain governance—we each hold $OS, the token that governs the protocol—our conversations about EthOS are the first step towards truly decentralized decision-making. Through periodic round-tables and other structured discussions, we will harness this potential and transform the community into an organized force. These initiatives will be designed to produce off-chain community consensus that can proceed to formalized on-chain proposals and voting. We will also offer to advocate on behalf of the community in any diplomatic matters.

Industry Relations

In addition to communities and devs, we will cultivate relationships with other industry players who can bring value to EthOS; for example, ecosystem foundations, through whom we can apply for grants and sponsorships; and content producers, who can generate clips, interviews and other positive media exposure for EthOS. Entities within the EthOS ecosystem itself fall under this endeavor; we will form partnerships with Organizations and other Delegations where appropriate, and establish a formal review system through which they can apply for our funds in extraordinary circumstances.

Consultancy

For whenever another project in the EthereansOS ecosystem has a service they need contracted out, we will serve as an on-retainer consultant.
