This refinement incorporates early community feedback from the public review period, resolving specification gaps and aligning the four ECIPs into a coherent, modular upgrade framework. This milestone marks the transition from initial drafting to structured review under the ECIP-1000 process. roadToOlympia: title: The Road to Olympia- How Ethereum Classic Built a Sustainable Funding Future __dateText: Ethereum Classic __date: 2025-09-17 - __color: white - __icon: codeBranch + __color: green + __icon: book __link: https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/6897663e1b7c85774590a8cd/ text: A longform CMC article tracing ETC’s decade of funding attempts and introducing Olympia (ECIPs 1111–1114), which redirects BASEFEE into an immutable, on-chain treasury — no miner tax, no insiders, no custody, no inflation — to sustainably fund public goods as block rewards decline. bitmainFundsCore: title: Bitmain Sponsors Two Core-Client Developers __dateText: ETC Grants Dao __date: 2025-10-02 - __color: white - __icon: userNinja + __color: green + __icon: handHoldingUsd __link: https://x.com/ETCGrantsDao/status/1973818014786347151 text: As core developers organize the path to long-term protocol-level funding through Olympia, Bitmain steps in as a stopgap to help fund core client development while the community finalizes implementation details. + olympiaDay: + title: Olympia Day — Implementation Phase Begins + __dateText: Ethereum Classic Core Devs + __date: 2025-11-11 + __color: white + __icon: rocket + __link: https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/69135a2872417b07898025bc/ + text: Following several months of public review, iterative redrafting, and broad technical feedback under the ECIP-1000 process, the ECIP authors judge the Olympia suite (1111–1114) sufficiently polished to begin implementation.
