BlockBeats News, February 24th, the Ethereum Foundation today announced that it has officially initiated the staking of a portion of its treasury assets to implement the treasury policy announced last year.
On-chain data shows that the foundation completed a deposit of 2016 ETH today, with an expected total of about 70,000 ETH participating in the staking, and staking rewards will flow back to the foundation's treasury. This staking uses the open-source software solutions Dirk and Vouch developed by Attestant. Among them, Dirk serves as a distributed signing tool that supports collaborative operation by independent entities from multiple jurisdictions, eliminating the risk of single points of failure; Vouch supports multi-client composition strategies to reduce client diversity risk.
The foundation stated that its deployment architecture includes minority client nodes and a hybrid of hosted infrastructure and multi-region self-managed hardware. The Ethereum Foundation indicated that this action will not only help strengthen the security of the Ethereum network but will also provide sustainable funding support for the foundation's core operations, covering key areas such as protocol development, ecosystem growth, and community grants.
