ETHGlobal member Josh Stark wrote that since Ethereum Foundation spending has been a topic of conversation recently, here are some thoughts and answers to some big questions. First, we are working on a new Ethereum Foundation report covering 2022 and 2023. We hope to publish it before Devcon SEA. The following is a preview of spending information in the upcoming report (specific numbers are pending). These charts record both internal and external spending. For example, "L1 R&D" includes funding for external customer teams, as well as internal EF researchers. In both years, internal spending accounted for about 38% and external spending accounted for about 62%. Internal spending includes EF teams such as: - Geth; - Privacy and Extension Exploration (PSE); - Solidity; - Cryptography Research; - Robust Incentive Group; - Devcon, etc. All of these teams work publicly and share information about their activities on their websites, github, and social channels.
