EIC02 | Summer 24

EIC01 was released earlier this year as a proof of concept for the creation of a new cultural artifact on Ethereum. It became Zora’s most minted collection on Base with over 55,000 unique addresses minting at least one article. As a result, EIC donated over 40 ETH to Protocol Guild.

EIC02 is the second installment of Ethereum’s premier publication, with 155 pages full of 25,000+ words from contributors across the ecosystem. Join founders from Bitwise, Zkp2p, Molecule, Set Protocol, JokeRace, Coop Records & more as they pen essays examining the state of Ethereum in the summer of 2024.

Like EIC01 and every issue of ETH Investors Club quarterly, EIC02 is free to read in its entirety.

ETH Investors Club is a members-only community seeking to advance EIC Quarterly and future EIC initiatives. Membership is earned from one or both of two options:

  • Mint physical IYK-chipped collectibles in support of EIC

  • Contribute to EIC Quarterly (write, design, develop, edit, analyze, etc)

Each quarter, membership will become open to acquire or renew at the release of each EIC Quarterly issue. During that period, an open edition receipt token—redeemable for a physical collectible here—is available in one of two tiers:
