Former Ethereum employee Hudson Jameson posted on X discussing the budget of the Ethereum Foundation. Hudson stated that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has an annual budget of approximately $100 million to support various projects and activities worldwide. The key expenditures of the foundation's budget include global trademark protection legal fees to prevent fraudsters from using the Ethereum name or logo. The large number of servers and development infrastructure used by EF's internal and external protocol teams, such as hard fork testing, boot nodes, fork monitoring tools, and PSE infrastructure for setting up ceremonies. http://ethereum.org (Not operating the website, but providing hosting, URLs, and paying fees to some key coordinators and contributors). @scumbtc @wrublik
