According to PANews, Evan Van Ness, the founder of Ethereum Weekly, announced that the publication officially ceased operations on January 1, 2025. Van Ness cited the Ethereum Foundation's (EF) withdrawal of symbolic support as a key reason for the closure, noting the publication's inability to establish a sustainable business model. He remarked that the EF's current perception of Ethereum Weekly's value has diminished, and there is a general lack of appreciation within the community for contributions from non-developers or researchers. Despite opportunities to continue through fundraising, Van Ness expressed a preference to focus on meaningful new projects, admitting his inability to transform Ethereum Weekly into a successful commercial venture.
