The Argot Collective (argot.org) is a new non-profit organization maintaining Ethereum's core infrastructure formed by 25 former EF employees. 
Operating democratically and transparently, we aim to provide stable, long-term support for crucial projects, free from commercial pressures.

It's the new home for the projects:
- Act
- EthDebug
- Fe
- Hevm
- Solidity
- Sourcify 

This talk will be the first introduction of this new organization to the ecosystem

Announcing the Argot Collective

Source code verification is the basis of trustlessness and transparency in blockchains.
Many projects do source code verification but there hasn't been much collaboration and public interaction. The panel will bring members from the new collective "Verifier Alliance" together to create an open discussion.

Topics include open-data and open-source, standardization, future challenges like state and data growth, multichain, monetization, and financial sustainability
