Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that if the Ethereum Foundation stakes its ETH, that forces it to take a position on any future contentious hard fork.
As Ethereum community members call for the Ethereum Foundation to stake its Ether and earn interest to cover the organization’s expenses instead of selling its tokens, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the foundation is exploring ways to minimize its staking concerns.
On Jan. 20, Josh Stark, who works at the Ethereum Foundation, explained that the organization uses the Ethereum mainnet to swap Ether (ETH) for stablecoins and to pay people with stablecoins and ETH, both on the mainnet and on layer-2 blockchains.
