以太坊基金会转账引发透明度争论

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，致力于推进以太坊及其技术发展的非营利组织以太坊基金会（EF）转移了 35,000 个 ETH，价值 9690 万美元。这些资金被定向到阿卡姆情报探索者确定的 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.

当 Lookonchain 分享有关此举的详细信息时，该交易引起了 X 平台的关注。对此，一名用户对该基金会财务披露的透明度表示担忧。

“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?”

“严肃地说，财务披露或 gtfo、以太坊，”该人士写道。 “现在到底是做这种动作的好时机，连一声不吭声都没有吗？”

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.

以太坊基金会执行董事对 X 帖子做出了回应。 “这是我们财务管理活动的一部分，”宫口彩回答道。该非营利组织的执行董事补充道：“EF 每年的预算约为 1 亿美元，主要由补助金和工资组成，部分受助者只能接受法定货币。”

Miyaguchi further stated:

宫口进一步表示：

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，由于监管复杂性，我们有很长一段时间被建议不要进行任何财务活动，我们无法提前分享该计划。此外，该交易并不等于销售。从现在开始，将有计划地、逐步地​​进行销售。

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.

并非所有人都认为宫口的回应令人满意。加密货币律师兼 Metalex Labs 联合创始人加布里埃尔·夏皮罗 (Gabriel Shapiro) 认为，尽管以太坊基金会 (EF) 每年花费 1 亿美元，但在最大化以太币甚至以太坊网络作为网络的价值方面缺乏明确的方向。所有的。

“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.”

“受够了——这种心态是加密货币行业增长的最大制约因素，因为没有人愿意投资那些价值驱动因素不可靠的东西，而那些负责为资产创造价值的人已经太富有了，并且存在巨大的利益冲突。兴趣，”夏皮罗说。 “只要看看下面截屏的 Aya 帖子的回复就知道了——人们（充当退出流动性的零售 ETH 持有者）——很生气。”

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创始人Marc Zeller也对宫口的说法表示不满。 “每年 1 亿美元做什么？”泽勒问道。 “Geth 团队确实值得，尽管他们的工作很关键，但他们却获得微薄的报酬。一旦 Purge & Verge 升级完成，就该认真考虑撤资并解散以太坊基金会了。”他补充道。

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.

随着以太坊基金会应对对其财务实践的批评，透明度和运营必要性之间的紧张关系变得更加明显。虽然一些人认为该基金会的行动对于维持其使命至关重要，但另一些人则质疑其支出是否符合以太坊网络的长期增长和稳定性。围绕这些决定的讨论可能还远未结束。
