Wu said that he learned that Vitalik responded to his tweet on August 31, "Never sold Ethereum for personal profit since 2018", saying, "The above also applies to L2 tokens or other project tokens I hold. All proceeds will be donated and used again to support public goods within the Ethereum ecosystem or broader philanthropy. I also do not plan to invest in L2 or other token projects in the foreseeable future. My goal in funding projects is to support things that I think are valuable, especially when other parts of the ecosystem may undervalue them. Going forward, I plan to do this only through donations."
