After Ethereum community members criticized the network for lacking online marketing (especially on X platform), the Ethereum Foundation (EF), a nonprofit organization supporting the Ethereum ecosystem, announced a new strategy focused on the network's "social aspect." This adjustment aims to optimize the communication channels and enhance the transparency of ecosystem information. This article will detail the specifics of this strategic adjustment, the background factors, the market environment, and the community response.
Dual-Account Strategy Deployment
Earlier on Monday, the Ethereum Foundation not only launched a new X platform account, Ethereum Foundation but also tweeted through the Ethereum.org account, which posts less original content, under the username "helloworldcomputer." According to the official announcement:
· The Ethereum Foundation will mainly be responsible for sharing foundation team updates, project progress, funding information, and treasury changes;
· The Ethereum.org account will serve as a more active comprehensive account, dedicated to sharing the latest developments across the ecosystem, including excellent projects on Ethereum, builder stories, and global adoption.
It is worth noting that these changes are not limited to the X platform but will also be implemented simultaneously on other social networking platforms such as Farcaster, Lens, and Bluesky. The EF emphasizes that this is just the beginning of the adjustment, and the use of social media will continue to be optimized according to the needs of the ecosystem.
In response to this, Joseph Schiarizzi, representative of Arbitrum and founder of the stablecoin provider Nerite, stated: "As builders in the Ethereum community, we have always hoped to see more active social accounts highlighting exciting things happening in the ecosystem. I look forward to the upcoming changes."
Community Feedback
The announcement of this new social strategy stems from a recent debate among key ETH figures earlier this year regarding the halt of the "Week in Ethereum" newsletter. WiE newsletter author Evan Van Ness and the Ethereum Foundation's Josh Stark debated whether the EF funded the newsletter and why it was discontinued. This sparked a multi-day discussion, with many community members expressing dissatisfaction with the foundation's lack of marketing prowess and social media activity.

A user on X bluntly stated: "The Ethereum Foundation's weak performance in public relations and narrative is a potential threat to the entire ecosystem, and the Foundation has a responsibility to change this situation." Data shows that since June 2021, Ethereum.org has only posted 14 original tweets, with none in 2023.

Additionally, Boost VC investor Mark Beylin pointed out on the forum that Ethereum's social layer faces issues of "factionalism" and suggested that the EF improve its external communication methods. Ethereum developer Tim Beiko also called for strengthening social media as a "digital public square" to more effectively address community needs.
Market Performance and Fund Flows
Beyond social media strategy, Ethereum's market performance and the Foundation's fund management have also come under widespread scrutiny. In 2024, both Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) hit all-time highs, while the ETH price has not been able to return to its peak of $4878. In the last 30 days, the ETH price has dropped by 18.7%, currently hovering just above $3100.
Meanwhile, on-chain data shows that on January 8, the EF sold 100 ETH, worth approximately $336,000. Since January 2, the Foundation has sold nearly $13 million worth of ETH. Community members expressed dissatisfaction with the Foundation's actions, believing that while selling ETH, it failed to effectively promote ecosystem innovation through social media.
Whether the Ethereum Foundation's new social media strategy can successfully improve its interaction with the community, enhance Ethereum's global influence, remains to be seen. However, this reform at least indicates that the Foundation has begun to take seriously the criticism of its marketing deficiencies and is moving towards a more transparent and efficient direction.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
