Plans for Next Epoch
- Updated Milestone 1: Schema Developer Tooling
- Description: We’re focused on improving developer tooling and overall experience. We’re working on a new tool that will help builders improve schema implementations.
- Expected Immediate Outcome: Builders can more easily integrate schemas into their projects.
- Funding Needed: ETH.
- Updated Milestone 2: Release the transitive trust algorithm
- Description: We are developing a new way to compute and propagate trust in a decentralized network. This milestone focuses on its public release.
- Expected Immediate Outcome: Developers will have an improved way to calculate trust. We’ll also release an ELI5 version to understand how it works. The npm package is also in the works.
- Funding Needed: ETH.
- Karma GAP: https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/ethereum-attestation-service-eas-2/grants?tab=overview&grantId=0xe5f519e8f5e5d67a3f30a24d47c3ae1e94c7735428481c71939a59db38884952
- Additional Funding Request: ETH opens opportunities for us to scale the attestation ecosystem faster by continuing to participate in hackathons, support contributors, and more.
Since the last round, we’ve been heads down and focused on helping builders build faster and creating new tools to expand the attestation ecosystem.
Some notable achievements and milestones include:
- Passing over 1 million Superchain contract interactions. This shows the speed and adoption of attestations as an important primitive in the Superchain ecosystem. Read more about it.
- EAS supported the ETHGlobal Superhack and had over 69 teams submit projects. 36 of the teams went on to win additional prizes from other partners, with a majority of all top finalists having used attestations in their products. Teams focused on “Real World Use Cases” with attestations and creating new developer tools for builders. See the winners.
- Scroll Canvas launched adding nearly 2 million attestations. It’s a new way to issue permissionless badges that are attestations (not NFTs). Learn more about it.
- ETHGlobal announced they are bringing their community onchain. A core focus is using attestations for various interactions. Learn more.
- Hosted a developer workshop at ETHCC to help builders learn how to build with EAS using a simple “Truth Bot” that makes attestations based on the probability that a given statement is true or not (using GPT4o and server-side attestations).EthCC[8] — summer 2025
- Completed the first draft of the “Transitive Trust” algorithm, which is a new way to compute and propagate trust in a decentralized p2p network. It builds off of existing p2p trust algorithms but aims to reduce risk in sybil resistance, collusion, and how incentives are handled. A sneak peek to the paper is here. We are actively seeking community feedback and plan to launch an npm package later in September.
What’s Up Next
- Collecting more community feedback on the transitive trust algorithm. Finalizing it. Developing the npm package so devs can start using it.
- Continued support of the developer community by bringing more awareness to what is being built and supporting them on their attestation journey.
- Continuing to make improvements to the developer experience (simplifying docs, showcasing important community tools, and more).
We’re excited to continue building and supporting the EAS developer community. The continued support from the Octant community enables us to accelerate our active mission of helping builders build faster, creating more trust online, and decentralizing more than just money and assets.
Keep building. Keep attesting! Thank you to all the builders and supports of EAS <3.
