# EIC02 | Summer 24

By [ETH Investors Club](https://paragraph.com/@eicdeployer) · 2024-08-07

---

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.
