hello everybody so I'm here I'm gonna
speak a little bit about developer
communities and how Kerry is trying to
drive further a developer adoption for
the etherium ecosystem and the projects
for dinner and talk about the EF grant
that we received and how we've been
using that so current community
landscape for krypter projects as many
of you familiar consists of developers
users and thirdly token holders with few
exceptions the most successful projects
today have really strong core developer
ecosystems building on top of them and
we can learn a lot from the lessons of
web 2 and apply that to web 3 we don't
need to reinvent the entire playbook so
there you have it this is how many of us
think of our communities but in many
cases this is what makes a really
healthy web 3 community and that user
group you want it to expand to take over
and make all token holders users as well
but really what's important is that core
kernel the developers so now we're just
going to focus on that developer
ecosystem and what to do that and some
of these lessons can be learned and
applied to user groups in more technical
ecosystems but for now I'm just gonna
focus on developers so one key component
is have a technical community manager
for technical communities
it's really important that people can
get into the code answer questions come
up with creative demos really inspire
your your users your developers a lot of
times in this ecosystem we see
pre-product people investing in
marketing and big pushes it's way more
effective if people can actually get
into the code or
play around with a test net or an SDK
and the best teams so this is based off
of 30-plus interviews with developer
community managers and developer
relations both in web 2 and web 3 the
best teams are focusing on key metrics
and relentlessly iterating keeping their
eye on those key metrics and just making
sure that they're getting the engagement
and the adoption that they'd like to see
this is a framework which I really like
for measuring the impact that you can
have on a developer community it's from
Phil ligado of next mer and he has taken
the pirate metrics of startups so R and
then taking it all the way through the
product cuz there's a loop back and a
cycle there and it starts with awareness
so why should I use your platform what
is it
just knowing that it's out there then
second acquisition it's not good enough
just to know that it's out there like I
need a relationship with you is it about
either it's an NPM install which is a
little bit harder to track with metrics
but you can use email strategies these
types of things having an engaged
platform where people can ask questions
where people can interact with your
content get in touch with you and what's
really important is that this cycle
flows all the way down into products so
if your community is not really involved
in the decisions that you're making in
product and potentially even
contributing to the codebase you're
missing a big opportunity of that so
what does Kerry do Kerry is really
focused on the first couple of areas so
it's awareness for your project and
acquisition so people taking the first
step actually using your technology for
the first time and our main focus is the
etherium ecosystem and the tools
libraries and frameworks within the
ecosystem and there are three main
within our community there are three
main types of users so there are the
readers who are coming to Kerry to learn
about how to use this technology or just
want to read an interesting article
contributors contributors or writers
they are a rare breed they're hard to
come by but having a really good writer
can make a huge difference for your
project and then communities communities
keep content up to date they interact
with it they engage with it they point
out gaps and
contributors and communities is an area
which we're really focused on and I'll
share a bit more about this in a second
but before I jump into that this is what
Kara looks like so this is the homepage
this is for our first user group this is
for readers so that they come in they
know where to go they can read about
topics which are important in a in the
etherium ecosystem getting started
finance scaling privacy these types of
things then essentially or an essential
component is you need to be good at the
single player game we spent a lot of
time catering towards writers so that
they can write in markdown have content
have clear attribution so this was
written by Haida he's a full-stack dev
loves using Kotlin and part of the Java
community and he wrote this article
about using web 3j to user
authentication and then
kind of bringing that together is
multiple contributors can now contribute
to like one community and here this is
the Java aetherium community so there
are representatives from consensuses
pegasus team which were a client in java
called pantheon which is now hi Felicia
Basu the IO builder's team a couple of
carry team members because our back-end
is in Java and a couple of individual
contributors and importantly Khan
Espenson who is the creator of the web 3
library but what's interesting about
communities is many people can have the
permissions to keep content up-to-date
and this is where we've been using a lot
of the grant funding so and and the key
to this is rewarding writers so to get
good content out there where there are
gaps within the the ecosystem so grants
right now are coming from the etherium
foundation and consensus grants this is
sponsored a lot of the getting started
materials many of the tools libraries
and frameworks have been written about
and then also working on keeping like
the etherium wiki up today solidity dogs
various different Doc's one area which
Kari is also moving into if you want to
get in touch is Commission content so if
your project needs better tutorials help
your developer community understand how
to use use about why that top of the
funnel let us know and then getting
involved the next communities which
we're launching are getting started
which will come out this week this has
some really exciting content including a
couple of tutorials on how to use a new
web IDE which
means you don't need to set up your
whole tool chain and it's just some
interesting templates to give developers
which are new to the etherium ecosystem
that first our Hartmann and you'll hear
more about that experience in other
torts or Albert stork ayahs talk the
superblock steam has been doing some
great work their web 3 onboarding is
another one if - as we the contract gets
deployed and get closer to a robust
beacon chain in the beginning of next
year we'll have materials on how do you
actually connect with the network how do
you send funds to the stake in contract
that kind of stuff and then I'll -
scaling which is a really important
topic and there's been a ton of research
over the past few years but I think
we're now moving from research into
actual production use cases so get in
touch if you'd like to be involved this
is all about community making greater
engagement with each of these projects
and bringing more developers into the
etherium ecosystem so you can reach me
at my email or our twitter account is
Towery underscore I thank you very much
[Applause]
you
