EAS is a credibly neutral public good and has been rapidly adopted by major industry contributors like Gitcoin, Coinbase, Optimism, Base, Guild, Ceramic and many more.

The importance of being credibly neutral with no value extraction mechanism cannot be understated. Imagine if email didn't exist and some corp "email.org" charged people for every email sent. It would significantly fragment the email ecosystem and we'd have"fmail, dmail, etc" all competing at the protocol layer charging different fees and adding too much complexity to the protocol. An elegant, simple, and open protocol enables builders to focus on the application & services layer (e.g. Outlook, Gmail, AOL).

EAS's approach is similar for the attestation ecosystem. As a core primitive and public good, EAS is enabling builders to focus on value creation and capture for their own applications and services.

EAS's current role and focus is on how to "get builders building faster". As such, you'll continue to see improvements to the developer tooling and programs that push the attestation ecosystem forward.
