Riley has been a writer, editor, and community builder in the Ethereum community since 2021, telling the stories of protocols and DAOs and creating connections between creatives of all types. She will work with authors to ensure both broad and niche reports of the Ethereum ecosystem are understandable across all knowledge levels. Riley described why she is excited to get involved with EIC:

Writing on Ethereum development and creativity is an incredible task that a new generation of talent is poised to take on with immense honor. Bringing these stories to life at EIC with a community-first lens is critical for providing new and experienced audiences the education, connection to knowledge, and insights needed to drive innovation. EIC is for anyone seeking an understanding of culture at the edges of computing in the infinite garden.

For EIC, having both physical print and onchain digital collectibles makes knowledge sharing accessible. Storytelling, therefore, is made more tangible as consistent cultural landmarks for the Ethereum community.

• Contribute to EIC Quarterly (write, design, develop, edit, analyze, etc)

Each quarter, membership will become open to acquire or renew at the release of each EIC Quarterly issue. During that period, an open edition receipt token—redeemable for a physical collectible here—is available in one of two tiers:

Warnings

• We recommend you do not buy EIC01 NFTs on secondary markets like OpenSea. They may be fake, and using EIC artwork. Only use the Manifold claim page or embed (like below):

nft://8453/0x79b5ba0AE133f5A9D36999EDfb08e691F49515aa/?showBuying=true&showMeta=true&extraParams=eyJwbGF0Zm9ybSI6Ik1BTklGT0xEIiwiZXh0ZW5zaW9uQWRkcmVzcyI6IjB4MjZCQkVBNzgwM0RjQWMzNDZENUY1ZjEzNWI1N0NmMmM3NTJBMDJiRSIsImNsYWltSW5kZXgiOiI0NDI4MDA0OCJ9

• Another risk is someone has started the redemption process for the physical copy and is now listing the NFT on secondary marketplaces. Moving forward a more secure system for tagging NFTs as pre or post-redemption will be implemented. We will also establish a mechanism such as burn + redeem to ensure a better secondary marketplace experience.

In this post we cover:

• EIC Season 01 Pass

EIC Season 01 Pass

The EIC is a members-only community seeking to advance EIC Quarterly and future EIC products. Membership is earned from one, or both, of two options:

• Mint an NFT collectible in support of EIC

• Contribute to EIC Quarterly (write, design, develop, grow, analyze, etc)

Each quarter, membership will become open to acquire or renew during a one-month period beginning at the release of each EIC Quarterly issue. During that period, an open edition NFT mint will be available in one of two tiers: Founder’s Club (0.59E, Mainnet) and Open Edition (0.039E, Base).

Community Perks: Beyond receiving collectibles, EIC has designed a community program with exclusive content, events (IRL and online), and more:

EIC01 NFT

Please Note: EIC will be minting copies and gifting to the contributors onchain

EIC01 Physical Collectible

EIC01 physical issues are collectibles from a first and final edition production run. EIC is pioneering a mint-to-produce model, where the production quantity is determined by the number of open edition mints that occur within the one month period.

IYK Integration

Every EIC real world collectible issue is equipped with an IYK NFC chip. With this chip, EIC collectibles receive several cool benefits:

• Proof of authenticity for improved provenance and more seamless secondary market participation (can integrate with vault solutions and lending markets)

• Ability to drop future perks like private event tickets to holders via scanning

• Much more in the future!

Redeeming Your Real World Issue

The redemption process will go live on Friday, March 15th*. NFT holders will be added to an allowlist which will grant them access to a checkout form.

Once the order form is completed, you will be asked to burn one EIC01 NFT for every physical issue you wish to redeem. Once the NFT is burned, the shipping process will begin automatically.

*Original version: March 13th

Retroactive Rebates & Flash Discounts

With EIC01, EIC is also pioneering several automated onchain discount mechanisms:

• Retroactive Rebates

• Flash Discounts

Retroactive Rebates

The retroactive rebates program automatically retroactively discounts all EIC01 open edition NFT minters at pre-communicated mint quantities:

25% off at 500 total mints
30% off at 1,000 total mints
33% off at 1,500 total mints

That’s right. If the mint count goes above any of these figures, these incremental discounts will be applied retroactively (via an onchain rebate).

Flash Discounts

Flash Discounts is a program that gives a 25% discount (via rebate) to members of several distinct high-profile communities, for 24 hours each, during the final days of the EIC01 mint.

We will be releasing more details about which communities we’re partnering with soon. Don’t worry. If you mint your EIC01 ahead of a flash discount you would be eligible for, in the spirit of retroactive rebates we’ll still apply your discount!*

* “Discount” via rebate
* Limit: 1 flash discount rebate per minted unit
* Flash Discounts may be combined with Retroactive Rebates. Whichever promotion is applied last will apply to the discounted rate

Takeaways

• EIC01 season pass and collectible can be redeemed by minting open edition NFT

• EIC01 season pass comes with a number of perks

• EIC01 collectibles are equipped with IYK chips for enhanced functionality

• EIC01 physical redemption flow goes live Wednesday, March 13th.

• Discounts for all minters at 0.5k, 1k, 1.5k total mints

He brings a wealth of experience from advising Polygon, Ether.Fi, Puffer, & other ecosystem projects. Anthony will share his deep expertise in the Ethereum ecosystem and hold EIC accountable to quality and alignment standards as we strive to evangelize ETH and Ethereum. He says:

EIC is doing what I've wanted someone to do for years now—putting together comprehensive reports on the Ethereum ecosystem to educate a wider, not necessarily crypto-native audience. I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to advise the team on how best to achieve their goals.

Anthony has requested that any advisor share be redirected to Protocol Guild to support Ethereum core protocol development, and in addition to that, EIC will be pledging 2% of revenue in perpetuity.

ETH Investors Club (EIC) is an onchain community creating EIC Quarterly—a free publication evangelizing ETH and Ethereum | EIC01 • Coming Winter '24

Despite being the dominant leader in onchain application development, Ethereum’s achievements and capabilities need more coverage. ETH Investors Club is an onchain community of Ethereum enthusiasts communicating the case for Ethereum as generational technology and ETH as a generational asset.

Staying ahead of the curve is not just about tracking prices or market trends. It's about understanding the underlying technology, its real-world applications, and the broader economic implications. Our mission with the ETH Investors Club is to dissect these layers of innovation and be your compass in the complex yet fascinating world of Ethereum.

EICQ

EIC’s flagship product is EIC Quarterly, a free digital publication. If EIC is a decentralized investor relations arm for Ethereum, you can think of EICQ issues as stylized, decentralized earnings reports.

EIC01 (January 2024) features an impressive array of stories from Ethereum community members including founders, investors, and analysts from top projects and companies utilizing Ethereum. The content will feature a diverse set of unique perspectives covering application innovation, onchain culture, philosophical inquiries, quantitative analysis, valuation models, and much more.

EICQ Issues will also be available to collect for club members in both digital and physical form.

The Club

The Ethereum Investors Club community is made up of contributors, supporters, and collectors helping to make EICQ and future products a reality. Membership can be obtained by supporting the publication through the contribution of your talent (content, editorial, design, development, data analysis, etc.) or through supporting the community with dues that go towards funding contributors and operations—Every quarter, members can join or retain their membership during the rush period.

There are two membership tiers, EIC and Founders Club. All EIC members receive several benefits, including digital collectibles, physical collectibles, and access to exclusive live content and groups. Founder’s Club members enjoy rarer collectibles and EICQ producer credit (a great option for projects and funds).

Over time, EIC will become fully community-owned and operated onchain. The intent is for EIC to continue to create products to evangelize Ethereum and serve the needs of the ecosystem. If you are interested in pitching a story for EICQ or contributing in any fashion, send us a note!
