The Ethereum Foundation recently made a strategic decision to sell 1,000 ETH, approximately $4.5 million, through CoW Swap, an innovative DeFi protocol. This action reflects the foundation’s commitment to both financial flexibility and adherence to core Web3 principles. The sale is part of an ongoing process that carefully manages Ethereum’s funds while maximizing their impact on the network. 15% of the Foundation’s annual budget will be allocated for spending, with a two-and-a-half-year reserve period, ensuring long-term financial stability. This strategy reinforces the foundation’s belief in decentralization by avoiding centralized exchanges and demonstrating its commitment to sustainable crypto development.
