BlockBeats News, October 21st. Sonic Labs founder Andre Cronje posted, "I am confused. Who is the Ethereum Foundation (EF) actually funding or supporting? When I was developing on Ethereum, just deploying and infrastructure burned over 700 ETH. I tried to reach out to the EF, but never received any response—no business development, no grant, no support of any kind, not even a retweet."
Later, when I started engaging with the Sonic ecosystem, I was really confused because most teams there have BD support, fundings, TVL bootstrapping, audits, and ongoing marketing. I thought the EF was doing the same. But if they are providing no support to core developers (such as Peter and the geth team) and are not nurturing the most active Layer 2 communities (such as Sandeep and Polygon), then where is their money actually going?"
