The main developer of the client Geth Ethereum accused the Ethereum (EF) Foundation of secretly creation and financing of the second team of Geth programmers. Geth customer is software used by validators to perform Ethereum transactions.
According to post X Core Developer Péter Szilágyi, the organization undermined the team of Geth programmers in several ways, including encouraging developers to work in other companies, proposing salary reductions and offering $ 5 million into a transformation of a private company. Szilágyi wrote In Wednesday’s post X:
“EF founded and financed the second Geth band in Nethermind. One 100% independent fork from us, without intended cooperation,” according to Josh Stark, and they did not tell me, Felix or Martin, until I found out in November 2025 in November. “
He corrected a year further in the post chain, writing: “2024, Whatev :)”.
The developer Geth said he was released from the Ethereum Foundation after one -on -one meeting with Josh Stark, a representative of the foundation, where he confronted Stark about the second “secret” band Geth.
Cointelegraph contacted the Ethereum Foundation for a comment, but did not receive a response to the publication time.
The allegations are in line with the changes in leadership at the Ethereum Foundation and a number of initiatives aimed at promoting the blockchain protocol to institutional investors in order to renew interest in the Ethereum network.
