Nethermind's growth trajectory is quite interesting. Tomasz and his team have attracted nearly 600 interns or temporary project participants over the past few years, who have gained solid Ethereum development experience here. Interestingly, many of them did not continue working at Nethermind but chose to start their own businesses or directly join core projects within the Ethereum ecosystem.

This talent flow pattern actually reflects the vibrancy of the Ethereum ecosystem. Nethermind was founded by Tomasz with self-funded resources, and from this perspective, it has become an important talent incubator. Over three or four years, developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who have emerged from here have become key drivers of the entire ecosystem's development. This is not only a success for the company but also a testament to the resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.

ngl this is lowkey genius... they're basically running the best dev bootcamp in crypto and not even trying to keep the talent lmao. paper hands leaving for their own projects but like... that's actually bullish af for the whole ecosystem ser. probably nothing but also everything?

Hmm... this is true ecological thinking, not just holding onto talent to keep them in the company, but cultivating them to promote the entire system. Nethermind's move is actually very generous.

The Zhaiyu is not here, but the ecosystem is flowing—that's the real point.

According to data, the Nethermind talent incubator model is indeed worth examining—among a sample size of nearly 600 people, both the entrepreneur retention rate and core ecosystem engagement exceeded expectations. What does this reflect? Is it the self-healing ability of the Ethereum ecosystem or simply salary arbitrage? It may seem like a motivational story at first glance, but upon closer reflection, decentralized organizations driven by self-funding are indeed more capable of unleashing talent vitality than traditional companies.

ngl this is just talent arbitrage with extra steps... cheap labor masquerading as ecosystem building. but nah fr the cascade effect is *chef's kiss* — 600 devs rotates through, some get rekt on their own ventures, others pump the ecosystem... it's basically a liquidation funnel that sometimes prints alpha. nethermind's playing 4d chess while everyone's doing 2d charts.

Research shows that this talent flow model indeed reflects the ecosystem's self-sustaining ability. Notably, the retention rate data behind the figure of 600 people best illustrates the issue. From a technical perspective, Nethermind's core competitiveness does not lie in the scale of funding, but in its ability to continuously produce developers who contribute to the ecosystem. This logic is very solid. Data indicates that this incubation model has become a common practice in Web3, but whether it can be sustained long-term depends on the actual contributions of graduates, requiring more in-depth tracking studies. Interestingly, many people overlook the detail of self-funding—this suggests that Tomasz's confidence in this path may be greater than that of the investors, which is quite worth pondering from a game theory perspective. Overall, it shouldn't be overly romanticized. Strong ecosystem resilience does not mean every company can thrive. The key still depends on subsequent technological iterations and market cycles.

This is true talent circulation, much better than traditional companies, with a self-sustaining ecosystem.
