Making Sense of the Ethereum Foundation

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Ethereum Foundation is a non‑profit made of semi‑independent teams that allocates grants and CLR funding to external groups, runs Devcon and regional programs, and deliberately chooses subtraction over building everything itself. It does not build a consensus client yet the ecosystem now has five independent clients live on mainnet. Funding flows through grants, CLR dot fund and partnerships with groups like the DAO Research Collective and Xerox Park, and teams operate with few formal titles.
