TechFlow News: On February 24, the Ethereum Foundation announced it has begun staking its treasury funds, initially depositing 2,016 ETH, with a planned total staking amount of approximately 70,000 ETH. This move aligns with the treasury policy the Foundation published last year, and all staking rewards will flow back into the Foundation’s treasury.
The Foundation uses Dirk and Vouch—open-source software developed by @AttestantIO—to execute these operations. Distributed signers ensure multi-jurisdictional operation, mitigating single-point-of-failure risks. The Foundation stated that this initiative not only helps secure the Ethereum network but also provides financial support for core activities such as protocol research and development, ecosystem growth, and community grants.
