Ethereum Application Guild (EAG) Launched to Advance the Application-Layer Ecosystem and Build a Global Developer Network
The Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) has officially launched as a global, nonprofit collaborative organization dedicated to supporting the growth of the Ethereum application ecosystem—driving its evolution from infrastructure to the application layer. EAG will operate across four key pillars: accelerating real-world application adoption, connecting cross-domain ecosystem networks, establishing unified evaluation and development frameworks, and building sustainable funding mechanisms. EAG will implement a membership contribution model based on institutional scale (e.g., valuation, market cap, or assets under management), and introduce a staking-rewards donation mechanism—allocating a portion of ETH staking rewards into an Ecosystem Growth Fund. Additionally, EAG has unveiled its 2026 Global Applications & Developers Program, which includes developer education initiatives, hackathons, and research projects, alongside regional roadshows and ecosystem showcases to strengthen local developer communities.
Trent.eth, a member of the Ethereum Foundation, announced his departure.
Trent.eth, a member of the Ethereum Foundation, posted on X stating that he is no longer affiliated with the EF as of last Friday. He expressed respect for his collaborators across the team over the past five years on network upgrades and funding support efforts. Trent Van Epps also noted that, subject to available funding, he will continue participating in the Protocol Guild and work related to Ethereum’s political economy.
