Evan Van Ness

Few blend conviction, critique, and culture like Evan. A true Ethereum bull and crypto veteran, he’s not afraid to call out centralization especially when it creeps into Bitcoin and does it with sharp clarity and startup hardened insight. Whether he’s hyping the future of DAOs owning sports teams, pushing for real decentralized money, or reminiscing about Colonia and good tamales, Evan brings a unique mix of intellect and humanity to the space. He makes crypto feel ambitious and grounded. Follow him for a no BS take on web3, plus some tamale fueled optimism for where it’s all headed.

I think Evan is one of those people who really knows how to break down the complexities of the crypto world, especially when it comes to decentralized technologies. I’ve been following his Week in Ethereum newsletter for a while, and it's always packed with valuable updates and insights. He has this way of simplifying the technical stuff while keeping it super informative. Honestly, his work is a go-to for me. I really appreciate how active he is on Twitter too, always sharing interesting thoughts and perspectives. If you’re into crypto, especially the ETH ecosystem, I’d definitely recommend keeping an eye on what he’s up to.

deep DeFi expertise with a calm, thoughtful voice in crypto. As a former Ethereum contributor and current CIO at TxPool Capital, his posts range from nuanced ETH market observations to clever community comments (like auctioning a tweet via NFT). Updates aren’t daily, but consistently valuable.

As the person behind Week in Ethereum News, he has mastered the art of distilling complex blockchain developments into digestible updates. His X posts are a treasure trove of clarity, blending bold critiques of centralization with optimism for a decentralized future.

Also, his healthy competition with @0xMakesy is very interesting to watch.

Met Evan through FT. He has become one of the community’s favorite heroes because he strategizes for the tournaments. Also a very smart account with the content he posts.

Evan breaks down what’s happening in Ethereum better than most. his posts are clear, witty, and never feel like engagement bait. i’ve learned more from his threads than from full newsletters. he knows his lane and owns it

I really enjoy Evan's Content on Ethereum. He used to run "This Week in Ethereum" A newsletter loved by all ETH enthusiasts which was discontinued at the end of 2024. Evan is passionate about the future of ETH and is not afraid to call it as he sees it, especially if that means being critical about the foundation. He also has top tier educational threads on his X account often breaking down complex concepts into to more digestible bites for the average user.

Has unique insights into the market, unwavering faith, and a humorous style of mockery.

I am actually grateful to Ethos for bringing Web3 icons closer to us because if not for this great initiative, i might not know Evan and other great builders in the web3 space. i definitely have more to learn from Evan.
