Former Ethereum developer Dankrad Feist proposed creating a new Ethereum-focused organization with at least $1 billion in funding to better align economically with Ethereum and support its value. The proposal calls for stronger leadership accountability to the community and a clear mandate to help increase ETH's price. This move adds pressure on the Ethereum Foundation, which faces criticism over governance, funding, and recent staff departures. Feist's plan highlights ongoing concerns about the Foundation's limited economic stake in ETH and its ability to fund long-term ecosystem support.
