【Vitalik responds to "Why the Foundation does not pledge ETH": considering providing grants in a specific form】 Golden Finance reported that Vitalik responded to community questions on X, "I wonder why the Ethereum Foundation does not pledge all the ETH it holds like the Nobel Prize Foundation, and only use income to pay costs? Why not consider market sentiment and everyone's voice and insist on selling ETH regularly? You have always claimed that Ethereum's POS is safe, why not pledge ETH yourself? Do you lack confidence in POS?" Vitalik said: One internal reason is that we don't want to be forced to make an "official choice" when a controversial hard fork occurs. The idea being considered is to provide some grants in the form of "You can pledge our ETH, you can choose how to pledge, as long as it is ethical and maintains an advantage." Another way to solve this problem is to disperse legitimacy and resources to more places, so that in people's eyes there are multiple organizations that are seen as credibly representing Ethereum. In this regard, we are in a much better situation than we were two years ago.
