Recently, the Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the second largest blockchain network, has attracted increased attention. The community is wondering why the organization is selling its assets instead of placing them in a stake.
Recently, blockchain co-founder Vitalik Buterin answered this question, explaining in detail the reasons for this decision.
Buterin mentioned several reasons why the organization regularly sells its assets. In particular, this is done to pay for the work of researchers and developers who are working on improvements such as EIP-1559. This offer reduces transaction time and network costs.
However, Buterin also explained that one of the main reasons why the organization does not place its assets in staking is the desire to avoid an "official choice" and not give preference to any of the structures in the case of a controversial hard fork.
He also stressed that the Ethereum Foundation is actively working to improve its technologies and infrastructure, which should ultimately lead to increased network security and efficiency.
In this regard, the Ethereum Foundation decides to implement a strategy for direct financing of research and activities, which, according to Buterin, is most consistent with the long-term goals of Ethereum.
