Notable stakeholders in the ethereum community are pledging support for a governance plan produced by attendees of a recent conference focused on the technology.
Organizers behind the EIP:0 Summit committed to four new governance steps on Wednesday, according to a statement. Notably, Parity Technologies, Aragon and the Web3 Foundation have already pledged their support in signing the statement of intent.

As previously reported by CoinDesk, the two-day summit hosted earlier this month addressed governance issues in the ethereum ecosystem resulting from the network's growth and diversity of opinions on technical direction. At present, it is difficult to gauge sentiments among the different parties developing, investing in or securing the software.
To that end, the plan's signatories have committed to creating a statement of shared values for ethereum, supporting the creation of "open-source tools to collect key signals and metrics," having a governance call every month and organizing a second, larger EIP:0 meeting.
Key signals include ethereum transaction volume, the number of deployed contracts, the number of GitHub contributions and other factors.
One way to incentivize that technological development could be through grants, the statement said.
Perhaps most notable, however, is the support that a second EIP:0 Summit is receiving.
For instance, Afri Schoedon, a developer and communications officer at Parity, said in a tweet that "[the Summit] must be as inclusive as possible. And if 350,000 people show up, we have to deal with it."
The statement similarly noted that a future summit would have to build on the existing model, including by "expanding opportunities for interaction from viewers not in physical attendance (time, location and participants to be determined)."
The full list of signatories to the statement includes L4 Ventures, developer Lane Rettig, Giveth founder Griff Green, Ethereum Foundation member Hudson Jameson and startup Gnosis.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
