The Ethereum Foundation has published a treasury management policy, the main ones being:

- Linking expenses to two parameters: annual operating costs and total asset reserves.

- Systematic reduction of expenses - up to 5% of reserves per year for 5 years.

- Selling ETH only according to a pre-determined plan through swaps and fiat off-ramps.

- Generating income through individual staking and using wETH in DeFi protocols.

- Regular reporting - once a quarter and once a year.

- Managing project support based on Defi-punk principles.

The policy was adopted amid criticism for ineffective management and selling ETH. The foundation recently made personnel changes, began to optimize the staff and more actively use DeFi tools to generate income .
