Ethereum Foundation Faces Internal Conflict Over Geth Future

The latest updates in the crypto market reveal internal conflicts within the Ethereum Foundation (EF). A public dispute has erupted between the team leader of Geth, Péter Szilágyi, and EF management regarding the future of Geth, the most widely used Ethereum execution client. Geth plays a vital role in blockchain operation, but tensions escalated when Szilágyi claimed EF offered $5 million to spin off Geth into a separate company. He accused the foundation of attempting to shift core infrastructure and alter its role in research and education. EF leadership denied these claims, asserting no plans to divest Geth. However, Szilágyi responded with a series of tweets challenging their statements. This conflict indicates deeper strategic shifts within EF, raising concerns about trust, governance, and the balance between innovation, decentralization, and long-term software management.
