Storm inside the Ethereum camp.
Core dev accuses Vitalik of centralizing $ETH’s influence. ⚡️
Peter Szilágyi, one of $ETH’s lead developers, just dropped a bomb — a letter he sent to the Ethereum Foundation back in May 2024 has surfaced. In it, he claims the ecosystem is effectively controlled by a tight circle around Vitalik Buterin and a few venture funds.
According to him, key decisions are made by “the group of interests around Vitalik,” and a project’s success often depends on their blessing. He also blasted the Foundation’s pay policy — saying long-term underpayment of staff leads to conflicts of interest.
Still, Szilágyi acknowledged Ethereum’s incredible technical progress, but ended on a bitter note: “I don’t see a way to fix this system.”
It’s a heavy accusation — not just against individuals, but against the very idea of decentralization inside the most important smart contract network. Ouch… ça chauffe. 🔥
