Odaily Planet Daily report: Funding sources for Ethereum core development have sparked governance debates. Former Ethereum Foundation contributor Trenton Van Epps warned that as existing support programs dry up and foundation spending declines, the core development ecosystem could face funding pressure within the next three to nine months, with an estimated annual cost of $30 million to maintain over a dozen clients, research, and coordination teams. Kleros co-founder Clément Lesaege proposed a “validator revenue redirection” initiative, suggesting that 0% to 10% of validator rewards be redirected to an ecosystem funding pool, which, at current staking levels, could generate approximately 50,000 to 70,000 ETH annually.
