Currently, the Ethereum Tag Service (ETS) is in the testnet phase, building its foundational protocol and gathering early feedback from the developer community. Here’s a snapshot of ETS’s progress and support within the community:

Early Testnet Adoption: The proof-of-concept prototype is deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia, and early adopters are testing the functionality and integration of ETS within decentralized applications. This initial phase focuses on refining the tagging infrastructure and collecting actionable insights from developers who are actively implementing ETS.

Developer Feedback and Iterative Improvements: We have engaged several developers from key decentralized social platforms like Farcaster and Lens to explore ETS’s tagging functionality. Their feedback is driving improvements in SDK usability, tagging operations, and protocol optimizations, creating a more developer-friendly experience as we progress toward a public testnet launch.

GitHub Repository and Community Engagement: While the ETS codebase is currently private, we are preparing for an open-source release to broaden community engagement and invite contributions. Upon launch, we expect GitHub stars, forks, and issues to reflect the community’s interest and involvement, providing direct feedback for ongoing development.

Plans for Public Release and Community Support: We’re actively preparing tutorials, SDK documentation, and a support channel to ensure that the developer community has all resources needed for a smooth onboarding experience. This structured rollout is expected to foster widespread adoption and generate early traction within the developer community.

In the coming months, as ETS enters the public testnet and ultimately mainnet, we anticipate building a more quantifiable footprint through GitHub engagement, user contributions, and adoption metrics, which will highlight community interest and support.
