Former Ethereum Contributor Warns of Funding Crisis Ahead



A former Ethereum Foundation contributor has warned that Ethereum’s development ecosystem could face a funding crunch within the next three to nine months. This raises concerns about the network’s ability to continue delivering major upgrades and long-term innovation.

Trent VanEpps, who worked at the Ethereum Foundation from 2021 to 2026, said Ethereum may be heading toward a “slow-burning funding crisis.” He explained that this will happen as key funding sources begin to dry up.

According to him, the issue goes beyond a temporary budget gap. It points to deeper structural challenges around how Ethereum funds and supports its core contributors.

Why Funding Is Becoming a Concern

VanEpps estimates that Ethereum’s core development ecosystem requires roughly $30 million per year to support client teams, researchers, coordinators, and protocol developers. He argued that this is a relatively small cost considering the scale of the network. Furthermore, the resources these teams maintain are significant.

However, two major changes are putting pressure on funding.

First, the Ethereum Foundation has been reducing its spending. In 2025, the Foundation introduced a treasury plan aimed at lowering annual spending from 15% to around 5% by 2030. This is meant to preserve its remaining funds.

Second, Ethereum’s Client Incentive Program (CIP), a four-year initiative that helped fund client teams through staking rewards, expired in April 2026. So far, no replacement program has been announced.

According to VanEpps, these changes could leave important development teams without stable funding in the coming months

Avalanche (AVAX) Nears a Critical Juncture: Will $6 Trigger a Bounce or Breakdown?



Avalanche Payments Collective debuted yesterday.

$AVAX is currently trading at around $6.

Avalanche Payments Collective was launched yesterday. Founding participants include Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Paxos, Agora, Ethena, Rain, and others spanning the payments stack. The Collective brings together companies spanning stablecoins, treasury infrastructure, foreign exchange, custody, card issuance, asset management, and global payouts.

Moreover, the future of payments requires more than faster transactions. Moving money globally involves liquidity, settlement, compliance, treasury management, custody, foreign exchange, and local payment networks operating together as one.

Significantly, the collective’s initial members support payment flows reaching more than 150 countries, 96 currencies, and around 22 billion payout endpoints across bank accounts, cards, and mobile wallets.

While looking at the crypto market, among the altcoins, Avalanche ($AVAX) has slipped over 9.46% in the last 24 hours. In the early hours, it has traded at a high of $6.68, and with the bearish encounter, the price has plunged to a bottom of $6. At press time, Avalanche traded at $6.01, and the trading volume is up by 24.22% to $401.11 million.

Avalanche’s recent price chart reveals the bearish momentum, with the crucial support at $5.72. If the downside pressure strengthens, the death cross might take place, sending the price into the $5.48 range. Assuming a bullish turn, the $AVAX price could climb to the resistance at $6.21. In case the upside correction gains more traction, the price would move up toward $6.42, along with the formation of the golden cross.
