Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum Foundation will be a ‘smaller ship,’ sell less ETH amid researcher exodus

The Block
Vitalik Buterin announced the Ethereum Foundation will shrink its operations and reduce ETH sales to ensure long-term focus on core technical resilience.

Summary

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined a vision for a leaner Ethereum Foundation, describing it as a "smaller ship" following a wave of high-profile departures. Buterin emphasized that the foundation will shift its focus toward critical long-term technical goals—such as AI-assisted formal verification and consensus security—rather than broad initiatives. To maintain sustainability, the organization will sell less ETH, positioning itself as one of many stewards of the network rather than its central authority.
