Ethereum Developer Calls for Change, Sparks Controversy Over Network Control

Controversy surrounds Ethereum as developer Péter Szilágyi publicly criticizes Vitalik Buterin and a small group of insiders for wielding excessive control over the network’s direction. Szilágyi argues that Ethereum has evolved into a system dominated by a select few individuals and venture capital firms, with his letter to the Foundation echoing concerns about power concentration within the ecosystem. He highlights how personal relationships with Vitalik Buterin significantly influence project success, arguing for greater transparency and fair reward structures within the Foundation.
