Description of Contribution What was or will be done, and how it relates to Shutter.
Several pieces of content have been created for Shutter Network, including two interviews with Luis Bezzenburger (once in 2022 and more recently in April 2026), as well as two pieces of short form videos on encrypted public mempools and an explainer on MEV. These pieces of content help Shutter to showcase and share their expertise on the issues it cares about regarding MEV and how their product can help.
Key Milestones Important dates or deliverables related to the work.
All pieces of content have already been completed and delivered by April 2026.
Impact on Shutter Ecosystem Explain the value created (e.g., adoption, awareness, governance improvements) and by which metrics value can be tracked and demonstrated.
The impact of these pieces of content primarily revolve around adoption and awareness which could be tracked to some degree based on the amount of views and distribution they get. Part of its impact also relies on the Shutter Network reuse of the content (highly encouraged for the team to use how they want). I think there is also potential impact not just in terms of quantity but also the quality of the people who become aware and support Shutter Network’s efforts since it is a technical subject and certain figures have outsized influence in the Ethereum core development space. This may be a bit more difficult to measure directly.
