Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation enters' mild tightening period ', has withdrawn 16384 ETH for long-term core mission Odaily Planet Daily News: Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on X platform that in the next five years, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will enter a period of "mild tightening" to achieve two major goals simultaneously: first, to deliver a more aggressive technology roadmap, ensuring that Ethereum continues to be a high-performance and scalable "world computer" without sacrificing stability, sustainability, and decentralization; The second is to enhance the long-term sustainability of the Ethereum Foundation itself, safeguarding the core mission of Ethereum, including the basic blockchain layer and the ability of users to use the network under the premise of security, privacy, and self sovereignty. Vitalik pointed out that as part of the austerity plan, he will personally undertake some of the work that could have been handled by the foundation's "special projects", focusing on supporting an open, verifiable, end-to-end software and hardware technology stack to protect personal lives and the public environment. This technological vision covers fields such as finance, communication, governance, blockchain, operating systems, secure hardware, biotechnology (personal and public health), and emphasizes privacy protection, decentralization, and local first software architecture. To this end, Vitalik has extracted 16384 ETH and plans to gradually invest in the above goals in the coming years, while exploring more secure decentralized staking schemes to use staking proceeds to support related missions in the long term. He emphasized that Ethereum itself is an indispensable part of the vision of "full stack openness and verifiability". The Ethereum Foundation will continue to focus on the core development of Ethereum, but its priority is not "Ethereum everywhere", but "Ethereum for people who need it", which serves self sovereignty, security, and privacy, rather than catering to the needs of centralized enterprises. Vitalik stated that in a world that increasingly values' force through coercion ', this path provides a necessary alternative - building an unbridled collaborative infrastructure through truly open, verifiable, and user serving technologies.
