Vitalik Proposes to "Self-Fund" 16,384 ETH to Support the Development of an Open Source, Secure, Verifiable Hardware and Software Full Stack System

2 hours ago

On January 30, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that the Ethereum Foundation is entering a phase of moderate belt-tightening, with two core goals: - Advance a proactive roadmap to transform Ethereum into a high-performance, scalable global computer—while preserving its robustness, sustainability, and decentralization. - Ensure the Foundation’s long-term viability, and safeguard Ethereum’s core mission and goals—including the core blockchain layer and users’ ability to access and use the chain autonomously, securely, and privately. Buterin noted: “To support this, my personal approach includes taking on responsibilities that would once have fallen to a Foundation ‘special project.’ Specifically, I’m developing an open-source, secure, verifiable full-stack software-hardware system to safeguard personal well-being and the public sphere. I’ve recently withdrawn 16,384 ETH of my own, which I’ll invest in these efforts over the next few years. I’m also exploring secure decentralized staking options to funnel additional funds into these projects from long-term staking rewards.”
