Former Ethereum Developer Reveals Details of His Dismissal
Former lead developer of the Geth client, Peter Szilagyi, accused the Ethereum Foundation (EF) of trying to allocate $5 million for the project team to separate from the foundation.
Geth (Go Ethereum) is the most popular Ethereum execution client. According to Ethernodes, it powers nearly 63% of the active nodes in the network. The development was initially handled by the Ethereum Foundation.
According to Szilagyi, EF threatened to cut funding for Geth. Instead, developers, including himself, were offered $5 million to spin off the client into a private company. Szilagyi claims he turned down this and similar offers several times.
