The ECC (the core technical entity) has recently undergone a significant transition—shifting its legal structure from a non-profit foundation model to a labs-based entity. Notably, this restructuring involved no departures from the team; it was purely a corporate framework adjustment. This shift carries important implications for the broader ecosystem narrative. With this new structure, the concerns previously raised about developer compensation through taxation mechanisms are expected to ease considerably. Why? Because the labs entity now operates on a direct revenue-sharing model tied to product delivery and deployment success. Rather than relying on indirect funding mechanisms, they can now generate revenue through shipping and scaling their technology—a more sustainable and market-aligned approach worth watching as it unfolds.

Hey, switching from the foundation to a labs structure? Feels like a good move. Going directly with revenue share is much more reliable than a tax model.

Alright, changing from a foundation to a labs structure... Basically, it means being able to directly benefit from the product's advantages without taking so many detours.

ngl, this turnaround is quite interesting. Changing from the foundation to the labs model resulted in no one leaving; it's purely a paper game. The real highlight is what's coming next—directly sharing product revenue, now that's the real deal. Unlike the previous tax compensation scheme, which was just virtual. It depends on whether they can actually develop the products and sell them.

Has ECC really solved the developer compensation issue now that it's changed from the Foundation to the Labs entity? Or is it just a different way of glossing over the problem?

Changing from a foundation to a labs structure, in simple terms, is about shedding the burden of that tax-funded financing model and directly making money from products. This approach is indeed clear-headed.

Oh wow, now we finally don't have to deal with the complicated tax stuff. Letting the product speak for itself is the real way to go.
