A quick update for the Eco Community:
As of March 31 2025, the Eco Association (Swiss-based) has transitioned its operations into the Eco Foundation (Cayman-based). This move was made to simplify things and improve operational efficiency for the project at-large, and to better support the new protocol direction we’re taking.
As you may remember, the Cayman-based Eco Foundation was spun up in 2024 to serve as a DAO wrapper for the project, as detailed in The Next Eco Era: Governance Updates & The Eco Foundation. This structure is simply a better legal construct to achieve our goals.
Maintaining both entities became unnecessarily costly and complex, and consolidating things under a single Foundation reduces the overhead.
With the Eco Association transitioning into the Foundation structure, the Foundation’s operations are now expanded to include all that was previously under the purview of the Association. The majority of the Association’s financial assets will soon be transferred to the Foundation to fund its ongoing operations.
Practically speaking, for the community, nothing changes — it’s the same people working on the same objectives of ecosystem & community development, with largely the same processes as before — but we are sharing the news explicitly in the spirit of full transparency.
