The ENF is hosting a holiday contest. EOS Learning Portal advances the ENF’s initiative to bring greater awareness and accuracy about EOS’ performance capabilities. The developer relations year in review and overhaul of documents does much of the same. The foundation is both broad and specific in its community awareness initiative. For example, WordProof was revisited and updates were provided for CDT (3.1) and the foundation’s multi-level grant framework. In case you were wondering about the ENF’s world tour, Yves La Rose was at SeoulWeb3 on December 19. Yves was also recently interviewed by Binance.

EOS Respect joins the ENF, Pomelo, and Helios in their quest to responsibly fund the network. The organization held its 5th election on December 27. View the delegates helping bring accountability to EOS by tracking affiliated projects on Pomelo:

Updated statistics about EOS Respect can be found here. Also, note that the treasury recently received a generous donation. EOS Support had a profound role in founding EOS Respect. Other news from the network’s concierge service involved issuing a scam warning, discussing self-custody alongside Greymass, and working with Now Nodes for a community giveaway.

Every year the EOS community takes a look back on the previous year. EOS Support (by way of w3briefs.com) publishes a year-in-review as does EOS Nation’s Hot Sauce. DeCafe both looked back on 2022 and forward to what's in store for 2023. EOS Go focused on events that closed out the year. In other news, Telos celebrated its 4th anniversary, Goodblock and Libre are holding a fair launch event that can be accessed via Anchor, and Bywire partnered with Edenia.

Yes, the ENF is still suing Block.One. And yes, B1 still looks to the underlying open-source code of the EOS Network for its products. The Voice NFT platform upgraded to Leap 3.1 in November. A few weeks earlier, B1 sent 500,000 EOS to Eden on EOS. Helios’ Chris Barnes went on Crypto Dunker to discuss B1’s return to EOS.

Boid is one of the network’s oldest projects. It has brought together research, community voices, and NFTs. Now get ready for a new platform and rewards program. Also, look out for some dynamic NFT plans to complement the science-based blockchain application.

DeFi on EOS is often led by Defibox. There are certainly other options like the PIZZA Finance platform. Defibox’s recently released Vault product has $5M TVL in its sights. Defibox also announced details of its new data analysis page. In partnership with Pomelo, Defibox offers the community a special mining event this holiday season.

Trust Network hackathons have been quite successful over the first 2 rounds. Round 3 began on November 21 and will run through February 28. This time, $150,000 is up for grabs. Entry requirements, detailed scheduling, and more information can be found on the Trust EVM Medium post.

Collections were a new feature on Pomelo in season 4. The new set of NFTs continues to advance the story. Pomelo pitch sessions closed with an open mic forum. Grant owners were invited to another season-ending, fun poker tournament. Donations closed on December 14. Analyzing season 4 expects to continue through January with a new season projected to commence in February/March.

Rarely a week goes by that the EOS Network doesn’t grab at least a bit of mainstream attention. It’s a factor that was sorely lacking over the two years prior. In recognition of both EOS’ recent development and past success, Analytics Insight called EOS a “sleeping giant”. The ENF commented with the request that the community shares their favorite milestones.

Closing out the year sure was fun this year. Holiday crypto events on EOS are second to none. What about the potential return of B1 with its massive resources and its targeting of Eden? One can only imagine the kind of attention received if the ENF wins its court case. Dan Larimer also shared his thoughts on Eden’s progress. As for the meeting groups utilizing some form of EdenOS or fractally software… The weekly fractal dedicated time to a community-ready mission statement. Monthly meetings of EOS Respect were already mentioned. Quarterly meetings of Eden on EOS look forward to a January 7 election with a new website and some of the new B1 funding at stake. Note that Fireside Chats are paused for the next couple of weeks and in its place was held the first Eden community “fireside” chat.
