0.16% vs 50%, this comparison is too heartbreaking. EF chooses to do the difficult but right thing, giving the stage to the ecosystem, and maintaining CROPS's bottom line—this is the kind of broad vision a public chain should have.

Vitalik explains Ethereum Foundation's new direction: downsizing, focusing, and tackling the hardest problems

Deep潮 Guide: The Ethereum Foundation holds only 0.16% of all ETH, while other public chain "central foundations" often hold 10-50%. The resource-constrained EF is making a tough choice: abandon the "big and comprehensive" approach, and focus on those things others won't do but are crucial for Ethereum's resistance to censorship, privacy, and security — even if it means letting talented people leave the EF to attract external funding.




Vitalik believes that in an era of accelerated AI and technology, Ethereum should not pursue a mediocre path of "being a little faster than others, a little more decentralized," but should aim to achieve something shocking in the CROPS dimensions (resistance to censorship, openness, privacy, security).
