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

BlockBeats News, January 30th, Ethereum founder Vitalik posted on social media, stating that the Ethereum Foundation is entering a phase of mild tightening to achieve two goals simultaneously:

· Execute a proactive roadmap to ensure Ethereum becomes a high-performance, scalable world computer without compromising its robustness, sustainability, and decentralization.

· Ensure the long-term sustainability of the Ethereum Foundation and safeguard Ethereum's core mission and goals, including the core blockchain layer and users' ability to access and use the chain with autonomy, security, and privacy.

Vitalik said: "To this end, my personal tightening plan is to personally take on responsibilities that might belong to the Foundation's 'special initiatives' in another era. Specifically, I am committed to building an open-source, secure, verifiable software and hardware full-stack system to protect individuals' lives and the public environment. I have just withdrawn 16,384 ETH, which I will invest in these goals over the coming years. I am also exploring secure, decentralized staking solutions to inject more funds into these goals from long-term staking rewards."
