Ladies and Gentlemen, We've done it🦄

After many years, The Ethereum Foundation Tip Jar has been successfully revived💰

13.7ETH was sent to BuidlGuidl to support builders in our ecosystem🏰

Special thanks to @avsa.eth.xyz for making this a possibility.

TX: etherscan.io/tx/0xad8149e...

@avsa.eth.xyz We've heard rumors that you've made your choice on which of the 2 initiatives the funds will be transferred to🏰

If you’re able to share any confirmation, the community would really appreciate the clarity. No rush at all, Just excited for the future and happy to wait in your own time🦄

In anticipation of the big choice we’ve now crossed $25,000 in donations! 🔥

Can’t wait to see which of the two EF-approved initiatives @avsa.eth.xyz picks, ProtocolGuild or BuidlGuidl🔨

Either choice, the ecosystem wins. 🦄

A decision to be made soon at Unicorn HQ🦄

Members of the EF liked our vision and gave us 2 potential destinations where the funds of the Tipjar can be put to great use🌈

Would love to know which one you'd choose in your own time @avsa.eth.xyz, $20,000 in support of builders in our ecosystem🔨

We've spent the last days talking to Josh Stark and Tomasz Stanczak from the Ethereum Foundation about our vision and they directed us on 2 options where we can send the funds🦄

Option 1: Donate to Protocol Guild (theprotocolguild.eth)
Option 2: Donate to BuidlGuidl (dao.buidlguidl.eth)

Hey @avsa.eth.xyz here's a timeline of our story🦄

No pressure at all, We just would love the story to be complete! As a community, we'd love to keep building and spreading the story. Maybe we can aim for a 50K donations milestone, and when the time feels right, you can revive the EF TipJar?

@avsa.eth.xyz We know that time is our friend and we're willing to wait, but we would love to see the result of our hard work in action as we donated recently🦄

If we were to donate a total of $50K (30K more) to the Tipjar would you be willing to send the funds to the EF grant provider wallet?

Not only would we be reviving the lore through donating to the TipJar, but also through supporting the same mission.

We're aware the EF allocates millions and we're just a droplet, But we're happy to be a droplet that advances our ecosystem🌈

Our donations are welcome as @avsa.eth.xyz sees fit, but here's why we believe the Grant Provider wallet would be great🦄

The vision in 2016 was to support development and allocate resources to advance the ecosystem🔥

In 2025, EF grants help support the same exact vison and support builders of ETH

Fun Fact: The first ever official ERC20 token had an 🦄 emoji as a symbol!

@avsa.eth.xyz any reasoning for the choice of a unicorn emoji🤔

There have been a total of 31 voting proposals in the TipJar DAO🦄

#31 was in 2023, and moved the remaining funds to the EF grant provider🌈

#32 by @avsa.eth.xyz would complete the revival of the legendary tipjar and hopefully provide support to the builders of the Ethereum ecosystem🔨

Here's a cool blast from the past for some of the TipJar DAO members🦄

In the early days of Ethereum, Unicorns were seen as an unofficial mascot, commonly seen on merch as modelled by @avsa.eth.xyz and @vitalik.ca 🔥

Today, the Unicorn lives on through our community and movement of Ethereum lovers🌈

Over $20,000 in donations sent directly to the 2016 TipJar🦄

What was once seen as a historical wallet, is now revived through our strength and hopefully will soon be put to use💰

Money that serves as a reminder of the ETH communities' strength and will help support the builders of the eco-system🔨

(1/2)
We'd love for it to go somewhere inline with the original vision of the wallet in 2016🦄

The EF Grant provider wallet which is: 0x9ee457023bb3de16d51a003a247baead7fce313d and the Tipjar has sent money to before is a great candidate💰

The Ethereum Foundation Tip Jar was posted up on the wall of the OG Ethereum Dev office in Berlin🇩🇪

The same exact address is now revived via the $20,000 in donations🦄

Waiting on the DAO voters like @avsa.eth.xyz to kindly help make this full circle moment a reality (all efforts appreciated🙏)

Hey @avsa.eth.xyz, We've done our research, Please correct us if wrong🦄

Would it not be possible, similar to earlier proposals, to create a 24h proposal and vote on it yourself with a weight of 10 (min 5 to pass) , allowing the payout to be made without needing signatures from Vitalik or Jeffrey?

Ever wondered the significance of the Unicorn🤔

Within the early days of Ethereum, the unicorn was seen as a key mascot that Vitalik would wear everywhere🦄

Inspired by one of Vitalik's shirts we decided to implement that exact character as the face of the Unicorn Community🤝

Hello Bluesky!

Amazed by the lore and history of Ethereum we have garnered a community that has donated over $19,000 to the ORIGINAL Ethereum Foundation Tipjar🦄

Whilst we were unaware of it's closure- We would love for @avsa.eth.xyz to direct the funds appropriately so the EF can make use of it!
