Vitalik: The Ethereum Foundation has entered a "moderate tightening phase," having withdrawn 16,384 ETH for long-term core missions.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that in the next five years, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will enter a period of “mild contraction” to achieve two main goals: First, to deliver a more ambitious technical roadmap, ensuring that Ethereum continues to be a high-performance, scalable “world computer” without sacrificing robustness, sustainability, and decentralization; Second, to enhance the Ethereum Foundation’s long-term sustainability, safeguarding Ethereum’s core mission, including the foundational blockchain layer and users’ ability to use the network securely, privately, and with self-sovereignty.
