Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X about shifting the Ethereum Foundation toward a narrower role. He said the organization will prioritize longevity over breadth while reducing ETH sales. The foundation will focus on censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security.
Buterin wrote that the Ethereum Foundation holds roughly 0.16 percent of all ETH. He added that nearly 90 percent of his own net worth is in ETH. The post came after at least eight senior foundation contributors left or announced departures in 2026, with five leaving in May alone.
