XIP-1 had approved an expansion toward AI, but the community was still waiting to learn how its provisions would be carried out. For the ecosystem fund, the immediate question was how to move that direction from the ballot into conversations with potential teams.
The ecosystem fund began contacting AI teams. Their identities and the substance of the talks remained confidential. When someone wanted to describe the contacts as a partnership in the making, the narrator resolved to record only what had happened: talks had begun, with no agreement, product, or timetable established.
Compared with a direction approved by vote, the fund had taken a step toward finding teams. The community still could not judge how these contacts might use funds. Further assessment depended on what the fund would disclose, while the other XIP-1 provisions also awaited implementation.
