Após 2030, os gastos anuais serão reduzidos para 5%, o Devcon pode encolher, o PSE terminará de forma independente — a redução de custos da Fundação Ethereum foi uma mudança proativa ou uma pressão externa?

Wu Shuo learned that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will cut its budget by about 40% this year, and EF is shifting from spending about 15% of remaining funds annually before 2026 to a long-term donation fund-style organization, aiming to reduce annual expenditure to about 5% after 2030. Vitalik stated that EF will not lower the goals of the Ethereum protocol, but will make several trade-offs, including shifting more from a "redundant" to a "specialized" multi-client mode, exploring AI-assisted formal verification, gradually winding down PSE as an independent unit, and Devcon may become smaller and more budget-conscious in the future, with EF's organizational work also shrinking in scope.
