Former Ethereum Foundation coordinator Trent Van Epps warned that Ethereum’s core development ecosystem faces a potential funding gap after the Client Incentive Program ended in April without a replacement. He estimates that maintaining more than 10 client teams, researchers, and coordinators requires roughly $30 million annually. The issue matters because the Ethereum Foundation is reducing direct spending under its decentralization-focused “subtraction” strategy, while several prominent contributors have recently departed. Next, the Ethereum community will need to determine whether new funding mechanisms emerge or whether independent teams and market-driven support can sustain long-term protocol development.
