以太坊基金會轉帳引發透明度爭論

最近，致力於推動以太坊及其技術發展的非營利組織以太坊基金會（EF）轉移了 35,000 個 ETH，價值 9,690 萬美元。

The Ethereum Foundation made a large transaction on Aug. 23, 2024, transferring 35,000 ETH, valued at approximately $96.9 million based on current ether rates. The transaction sparked some criticism from the crypto community, with a few voices raising concerns about the foundation’s transparency. However, the foundation’s executive director quickly clarified that the transfer was simply a routine part of the nonprofit’s “treasury management activities.”

以太坊基金會於 2024 年 8 月 23 日進行了一筆大額交易，轉移了 35,000 ETH，根據當前的以太坊匯率，價值約為 9,690 萬美元。該交易引發了加密社區的一些批評，一些聲音對基金會的透明度表示擔憂。然而，該基金會的執行董事很快就澄清說，此次轉移只是非營利組織「財務管理活動」的例行組成部分。

Ethereum Foundation Transfer Triggers Transparency Debate

以太坊基金會轉帳引發透明度爭論

Recently, the Ethereum Foundation (EF), a nonprofit committed to advancing Ethereum and its technologies, transferred 35,000 ETH, valued at $96.9 million. The funds were directed to a Kraken exchange deposit address, as identified by Arkham Intelligence’s explorer.

最近，致力於推動以太坊及其技術發展的非營利組織以太坊基金會（EF）轉移了 35,000 個 ETH，價值 9,690 萬美元。這些資金被導向到阿卡姆情報探索者確定的 Kraken 交易所存款地址。

The transaction caught attention on the platform X when Lookonchain shared details about the move. In response, one user voiced concerns over the foundation’s transparency in financial disclosures.

當 Lookonchain 分享有關此舉的詳細資訊時，該交易引起了 X 平台的關注。對此，一名用戶對該基金會財務揭露的透明度表示擔憂。

“Financial disclosures or gtfo, Ethereum, seriously,” the person wrote. “How on earth is this an opportune time to do these kind of movements without as much as a peep?”

「嚴肅地說，財務披露或 gtfo、以太坊，」該人士寫道。 “現在到底是做這種動作的好時機，連一聲不吭聲都沒有嗎？”

The Ethereum Foundation’s executive director responded to the X post. “This is part of our treasury management activities,” Aya Miyaguchi replied. “EF has a budget of ~$100m per year, which is largely made up of grants and salaries, and some of the recipients are only able to accept in fiat,” the nonprofit’s executive director added.

以太坊基金會執行董事對 X 貼文做出了回應。 「這是我們財務管理活動的一部分，」宮口彩回答。該非營利組織的執行董事補充道：“EF 每年的預算約為 1 億美元，主要由補助金和工資組成，部分受助者只能接受法定貨幣。”

Miyaguchi further stated:

宮口進一步表示：

This year, there was a long period of time when we were advised not to do any treasury activities due to the regulatory complications, and we were not able to share the plan in advance. Also this transaction is not equal to a sale. There will be planned and gradual sales from here on.

今年，由於監管複雜性，我們有很長一段時間被建議不要進行任何財務活動，我們無法提前分享該計劃。此外，該交易並不等於銷售。從現在開始，將有計劃地、逐步地​​進行銷售。

Not everyone found Miyaguchi’s response satisfying. Gabriel Shapiro, a crypto attorney and co-founder of Metalex Labs, argued that despite the Ethereum Foundation (EF) spending $100 million each year, there’s a lack of clear direction in terms of maximizing the value of ether or even the Ethereum network as a whole.

並非所有人都認為宮口的回應令人滿意。加密貨幣律師兼Metalex Labs 聯合創始人加布里埃爾·夏皮羅(Gabriel Shapiro) 認為，儘管以太坊基金會(EF) 每年花費1 億美元，但在最大化以太幣甚至以太坊網絡作為網絡的價值方面缺乏明確的方向。

“Enough is enough—this mentality is the biggest constraint on growth of the crypto industry as no one wants to invest in something with un-dependable value-drivers where those responsible for generating value to the asset are already too wealthy and have massive conflicts of interest,” Shapiro said. “Just look at the responses to Aya’s thread screenshotted below–people (retail ETH holders who serve as exit liquidity)—are pissed off.”

「受夠了——這種心態是加密貨幣行業成長的最大限制因素，因為沒有人願意投資那些價值驅動因素不可靠的東西，而那些負責為資產創造價值的人已經太富有了，並且存在巨大的利益衝突。 “只要看看下面截圖的 Aya 帖子的回复就知道了——人們（充當退出流動性的零售 ETH 持有者）——很生氣。”

Aave-Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller also expressed dissatisfaction with Miyaguchi’s statement. “100m$/year for what?” Zeller asked. “The Geth team, truly deserving, receives meager pay despite critical work. Once the Purge & Verge upgrades are delivered, it’s time to seriously consider defunding and dissolving the Ethereum Foundation,” he added.

Aave-Chan Initiative創辦人Marc Zeller也對宮口的說法表示不滿。 “每年 1 億美元做什麼？”澤勒問。 「Geth 團隊確實值得，儘管他們的工作很關鍵，但他們卻獲得微薄的報酬。一旦 Purge & Verge 升級完成，就該認真考慮撤資並解散以太坊基金會了。

As the Ethereum Foundation navigates criticism over its financial practices, the tension between transparency and operational necessity becomes more evident. While some see the foundation’s actions as essential for sustaining its mission, others question whether its spending aligns with the long-term growth and stability of the Ethereum network. The conversation around these decisions is likely far from over.

隨著以太坊基金會應對對其財務實踐的批評，透明度和營運必要性之間的緊張關係變得更加明顯。雖然有些人認為基金會的行動對於維持其使命至關重要，但有些人則質疑其支出是否符合以太坊網路的長期成長和穩定性。圍繞這些決定的討論可能還遠遠沒有結束。
