The Ethereum Foundation has introduced a new strategy titled 'The Future of Ecosystem Development at the EF', focusing on accelerating, supporting, and ensuring the security of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Goals of the Ethereum Foundation
The main goals of the Ethereum Foundation are to increase the number of users utilizing Ethereum and to maximize its technical infrastructure. The Foundation plans to collaborate with existing networks and community members to accelerate ecosystem development. As the Foundation states, 'We want to help accelerate the pace of ecosystem growth by working closely with developers, founders, app teams, and enterprises.'
Changes in Investment Activity
Institutional investors have begun to increasingly turn their attention to Ethereum, reflecting a shift in how digital assets are perceived. Recent reports indicate that Ethereum attracted $9.7 billion in flows in just one month, with net flows amounting to $1.3 billion. Companies like Sharplink Gaming are now leading the charge to shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum, holding 198,167 ETH.
Security Issues and Risks
Ethereum is also facing security challenges, having reportedly lost approximately $470 million in DeFi platforms in the first half of 2025. Notably, risks associated with the EIP-7702 wallet delegation feature have emerged. SlowMist states, 'Even if the contract itself has no backdoors, if you are tricked by a phishing site into granting authorization, attackers can exploit the contract’s full operational capabilities to drain your assets in bulk.'
In conclusion, the Ethereum Foundation is proactively working on developing the ecosystem, increasing user numbers, and enhancing platform security in the face of growing interest from institutional investors.
