Dankrad Feist propose one $1B plan to “Save ETH” and realign Ethereum Foundation incentives
Old Ethereum Foundation (EF) developer Dankrad Feist dey talk say Ethereum need new ETH-focused organisation to "Save ETH", saying community dey vex about EF accountability and how e dey align financially.
Feist talk say Ethereum Foundation no too linked to ETH economic success. E show say EF hold <0.1% of total ETH and no dey collect meaningful staking rewards or transaction fee revenue, so dem no get strong reason to put long-term ETH value first.
For one post for X, Feist suggest make dem create institution wey get at least $1 billion backing, and make e get "competent" leadership. The aim of this "Save ETH" move na to raise ETH value, with part funding come from staking rewards and blockchain fee revenue—move away from the usual non-profit stewardship model.
This push come after steady leadership turnover and resignations, including Feist own exit (to Tempo) and other big names wey comot. The article present am as governance-and-finance reset rather than immediate protocol change, and short-term volatility fit happen because market sentiment about ETH long-term demand.
For traders: watch how sentiment for ETH fit shift over governance legitimacy and expectations for stronger staking/fee alignment, but no short-term technical changes don announce.

Di tori tinz nuz iz main main na governance an finance kind story weh go spark things. Feist dem proposal "Save ETH" deh target how incentif them line up between big institution steward dem an ETH staking/fee economics, we fit help long-term confidence—bot e no announce any immediate protocol change, treasury reform, or execution timeline.
Short-term, community backlash an leadership change fit cause volatility for ETH sentiment as traders dey price possible shifts for institutional credibility. Bot becos the plan never implement yet an di article show am as reset not operational change, price impact more likely go limited an depend on sentiment than make new trend.
Long-term, if dem really launch an fund new ETH-linked institution (based on staking/fee-linked revenue assumptions), e fit support di "ETH demand/holder value capture" story. For now, traders suppose treat dis as watchlist item for governance developments not as near-term technical driver.
