The Ethereum Foundation has introduced a revamped treasury strategy aimed at increasing transparency and structure in how it allocates resources, as it continues to bolster Ethereum’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
In a recent blog post, the Foundation outlined that its updated financial policy will link day-to-day expenses and cash requirements to its holdings and sales of Ether. The move is designed to reinforce the foundation’s fiscal stability as it prepares for what it describes as a critical 18-month period for the Ethereum network.
On June 4, one of the foundation’s directors stated that the organization will regularly reevaluate its annual operating costs—calculated as a percentage of its treasury—along with its financial runway. The assessments will consider both market conditions and feedback from the Ethereum community, aiming to keep short-term spending in sync with the foundation’s broader, long-term vision.
Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Hsiao-Wei Wang warned that the organization faces a 2.5-year runway before its cash reserves are depleted, marking the next 18 months as a critical window for strategic resource deployment and expanded support for the Ethereum ecosystem. “This policy reflects our conviction that 2025-26 are likely to be pivotal for Ethereum, warranting enhanced focus on critical deliverables,” Wang stated.
Amid rising scrutiny from the Ethereum community, the Foundation has adopted a tighter approach to managing its funds, signaling a shift toward greater financial accountability. The updated policy is designed not only to stabilize internal operations but also to reestablish credibility with stakeholders watching how the organization stewards its resources.
As part of its renewed transparency efforts, the Foundation plans to release detailed quarterly and annual reports, disclosing its asset allocations, investment outcomes, and notable updates.
As Ethereum moves into a period of heightened development and strategic funding, the Foundation’s renewed focus on fiscal discipline could set a precedent for how decentralized organizations manage accountability. By aligning its treasury approach with evolving community expectations, the Ethereum Foundation aims to build a more resilient financial base—one that can sustain innovation while reinforcing trust in the broader ecosystem.
