According to Foresight News, Ethereum Layer2 network Taiko expressed dissatisfaction on the X platform with multiple media articles claiming that "the Ethereum Foundation abandoned Taiko by selling tokens", and said that these articles have not been verified and no Taiko entity has sent any tokens to the Ethereum Foundation. Taiko emphasized that it maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Ethereum Foundation. At the recent EthCC event, Vitalik labeled it an "EVM purist" in a keynote speech, which further confirmed the connection between Taiko and the Ethereum Foundation.
