Outreach related to EIP-1559

Summary

To continue the work started in October 2020 (EIP-1559 Community Outreach Report), we have gathered additional sentiment on EIP-1559 from leading Ethereum applications. Because the success of the Ethereum ecosystem is tightly linked to its builders, it's important to catalog their perspectives for the community to consider as part of their decision to support EIP-1559 or not.

Outreach started on Jan 25 with the DeFiPulse top 10 projects ranked by Total Value Locked (TVL). Sentiment gathering and education is ongoing. We have also added projects that signaled via SupportEIP1559.org to this repo.

Collectively, these applications represents over $21B in value locked. (as of Feb. 23, 2021)
