# ETC Cooperative 2025 Q3 Report

###### ETC Cooperative

December 13, 2025

We are pleased to share [ETC Cooperative’s Board Package for Q3](/content/etc-cooperative-q3-2025-en.pdf).

### Highlights:

- **Development and Infrastructure:** In Q3, the ETC Cooperative focused on the stability and reliability of core-geth. Work emphasized monitoring, maintenance, and selective hardening. No major feature rollouts shipped this quarter, but continuous upkeep kept the network dependable for users and developers.
- **Core Team Expansion:** A hiring initiative funded by ETCGrantsDAO (Bitmain) began to onboard two core developers to re-accelerate protocol progress. The collaboration scope was defined, job descriptions published, and the first applicants are being reviewed.
- **Comms and Marketing:** As previously announced, our Marketing Manager, Andrew Dick, stepped down from his role as of June 15 2025. The marketing function at the ETC Cooperative has been discontinued until further notice.
- **Financials:** The organization continues in maintenance mode with spending focused on essential operations: wages, infrastructure, and overhead costs.
