According to Odaily, Trent Van Epps, a former Ethereum Foundation member and core developer, published analysis stating that Ethereum is entering a critical institutional succession phase with potential structural funding challenges. Van Epps highlighted that the Ethereum Foundation is transitioning from a dominant single institution to a governance transition node, while the ecosystem faces a funding gap as the Collaborative Interest Pooling (CIP) concludes in 2026 and the Foundation's ETH reserves deplete, potentially reducing core development funding to around $30 million annually. The shift raises concerns about sustaining core developer teams and infrastructure capabilities, which could impact long-term network reliability.
