Ethereum Foundation releases latest fiscal policy, emphasizing "Defipunk" concept and privacy protection

Odaily News The Ethereum Foundation (EF) released the latest fiscal policy document, clarifying its asset management strategy, ETH sales mechanism and long-term commitment to the DeFi ecosystem. The document pointed out that EF currently sets annual operating expenses at 15% of total finances, retains a 2.5-year expenditure buffer, and will gradually transition to a long-term expenditure level of 5%, emphasizing increasing support during market downturns and maintaining restraint in bull markets.
In terms of crypto asset allocation, EF will give priority to supporting secure, decentralized, and open-source DeFi protocols, using methods such as wETH staking and stablecoin lending to obtain reasonable returns, and explore Tokenized RWA (tokenized real assets) configuration. At the same time, EF explicitly supports the "Defipunk" concept, encourages KYC-free, self-custodial, and privacy-friendly DeFi protocols, and plans to use privacy standards, decentralized UI, and anti-censorship mechanisms as core evaluation criteria for fund deployment.
EF stated that its own financial management will gradually adopt decentralized, privacy-friendly tools and workflows to "live out" the crypto values it advocates and continue to provide long-term and stable support for the Ethereum ecosystem.
