The Ethereum Foundation reported that nearly $500 million was allocated to ecosystem projects between 2022 and 2023, according to its 2024 annual report. Out of the total funding, approximately 48.3% or $240.3 million was provided directly by the Ethereum Foundation, with the rest coming from prominent organizations within the Ethereum community such as MakerDAO, Optimism, Gitcoin, and others, indicating a strong collaborative effort. Additionally, the Ethereum ecosystem is supported by over $22 billion in treasury funds, held by various foundations and DAOs, which includes $970 million from the Ethereum Foundation itself. The report highlights that these treasury amounts mostly consist of project-native tokens, suggesting that the deployable fiat value is less than the total worth of the treasuries. The foundation also noted the implementation of a Conflict of Interest policy requiring disclosures for significant investments by its members, aiming to enhance integrity in its operations.
