The DevTools Guild comprises of a number of open-source, projects that are public goods for Ethereum. These projects are free software in the [GNU parlance](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html) that can be utilised by developers building on Ethereum, without the requirement of any third-party commercial products or services to use them to their full potential.

## Impact Metrics

Quantifying the impact DevTool Guild members have on the Ethereum development and wider ecosystem is crucial to establishing trust in the work of the Guild and ensuring the sum of its parts is greater than any individual project's impact.

Unlike core protocol development which ultimately results in updates to the Ethereum clients running the Ethereum mainnet, there is no co-ordinated on-chain metrics that can be used to cohesively measure on-chain impact of most developer tooling (Solidity and Vyper contract deployments being the exception that comes to mind).
1212

1313
Historically, more traditional quantifiable metrics have been used to demonstrate the impact of developer tooling projects in Ethereum. However, these don’t necessarily provide a real understanding of the impact these projects have had. As per [Goodhart’s Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law) ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”), metrics can be gamed, and especially when one sees the size of communities on X, Discord or Telegram for projects with planned token launches, it’s clear how much incentives can be misaligned in web3 to favour short-term gains over providing long-term positive impact by projects.

It’s vital that the DevTools Guild does not fall into this trap and outlining ways in which impact can be measured from an impact-driven perspective is key.

The projects in the Developer Tools Guild are all public goods, which have both similar goals and funding challenges. Many are reliant on grant funding, which needs to be managed on an ongoing basis. Many projects also have shared sources they rely on for grant funding, such as the Ethereum Foundation’s Ecosystem Support Program, Optimism’s Retroactive Public Goods Funding, and Gitcoin’s Quarterly Grant program.
