According to Wu, Cobie criticized the Ethereum Foundation’s core developers or researchers for receiving revenue from serving as advisors for projects built on Ethereum, such as EigenLayer. Justin Ðrake responded that the advisory service came with significant EIGEN token incentives, including vesting of millions of dollars worth of tokens over 3 years, with a promise to inject all advisory revenue back into valuable projects within the Ethereum ecosystem. He expects the default public stance will continue to lean toward criticizing EigenLayer. There are 3 Ethereum Foundation personnel who have formal relationships with the EigenLayer entity: one is an early investor and two are recent advisors.
