A brewing conflict between Ethereum developer Péter Szilágyi and the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has erupted over the future of the Geth software, leading to accusations of manipulation and a public disagreement. Szilágyi, former Geth team lead, claims the foundation offered $5 million to spin off the Geth team into an independent company. He states that he was denied this offer repeatedly and that the EF secretly launched a second Geth team within Nethermind without informing original developers. Szilágyi further alleges the EF attempted to recruit key team members for other projects, questioning their motives. The foundation denies these allegations, but Szilágyi calls for public denials of his claims.
