| Ecosystem Improvement -?
Ethereum Developer Tool Survey
| |
| Ethereum developers, please take note!?
It is important for the ecosystem to continuously improve the tools and libraries used to develop applications on Ethereum, particularly Mainnet. Please take the brief survey below to help the EEA and its members identify opportunities for improving tooling in this area.
This effort is being driven by leaders of the EEA's Mainnet Working Group - Enterprise Use Cases and Requirements Task Force. If you have a desire to help advance the use cases and requirements to scale enterprise adoption of Ethereum, join the noble work of this group. We welcome your creative ideas.
We appreciate your efforts to improve the ecosystem for the community!?

| Noteworthy Technical Updates
| |
| The EEA's technical groups have continued to make progress. Here are a few updates:
- The Legal Advisory Working Group held a session last week on governance tokens for DeFi.
- The Testing Working Group identified a bug on an earlier approach that has been fixed. They are looking forward to a range of enhancements that will enable members to deploy their own tests in a permissioned blockchain network.
- The Off-chain Trusted Computing Group is working to clarify the parts of the technology where there are applications beyond blockchain, while ensuring that we continue to support the core approach of enabling ethereum blockchains to use enclaves for better privacy and performance.
- Along with publishing their use cases and working on their first specification, the Cross-Chain Interoperability Group is looking at integrating the extensions they developed into the EEA''s main architecture stack diagram -- a discussion that will start in October with the Tech Spec Working Group.
- The Techspec Working Group is targeting a November release of the next specifications cycle -- Client Specification v6 and Permissioned Blockchain Specification v2.
The technical work proceeds most effectively when there are a diverse set of stakeholders providing feedback. So, whether you represent a blockchain client developer, a customer wanting a client to run in a consortium, or a software integrator providing tailored solutions or other tools, your input can influence the work and ensure that it meets our goal of solving real problems for real enterprises, large and small.?We strongly encourage your team to join the EEA?and get involved in our technical work and collaborate with the brightest minds in the blockchain industry!?

| DeFi Protocols Break $10 billion in Total Value Locked
| |
| There are now over $10 billion in assets locked across various decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, according to data from DeFi Pulse.?While it took DeFi protocols over two and a half years to reach $1 billion in total value locked, it took under a year for the industry to grow to $10 billion. This rapid growth is partially attributed to the yield farming trend popularized in 2020, in which DeFi protocols offer tokens rewards to incentivize liquidity providers on their platforms.?We expect for this value to continue to grow at an accelerated pace.
| |
| Blockchain for Social Impact (BSIC) recently held its annual conference, "Tools for an Inclusive Future - Fairness, Equity, Democracy through Blockchain," on September 16, 2020.?EEA Board Director Yorke Rhodes was there to join entrepreneurs, foundations, NGOs, corporations, and impact-driven organizations for a day at the crossroads of impact and blockchain.?
