π€ Vitalik Buterin: Developers Who Don't Know Crypto Can Also Be Funded by Ethereum
On December 5, 2025, in a Green Pill interview, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized the need for open-source projects to explore innovative cryptoeconomic mechanisms to prevent corporate acquisition. He proposed "dependency funding," which merges financial support with social outreach, as a more genuine approach to funding.
Buterin illustrated this with an example where a non-crypto developer receiving 1.5 ETH for their code used in Ethereum projects represents a more sincere funding method than random donations. He expressed hope to further scale this mechanism as the connection between the crypto community and non-crypto projects like Tor expands. link link
