Held source excerpt
All-time funding inflows reached $183m in 2025 (valued at time of donation), with $7.2m in new donations throughout the year. The top 5 donors for the year included Puffer, Starknet, Optimism RPGF, Enter DAO and LayerZero. Funding outflows, i.e. distributions of vested donations to Ethereum’s core protocol maintainers, totalled $12.4mm in 2025, an increase from the $10m distributed in 2024. Overall, the median amount distributed over the last 12 months totalled $62k per member. A new funding program was announced in 2025: “Sponsor a Core Dev”.

On the content side the year was highlighted by our first-ever core developer compensation report, as well as numerous other blog posts, conference talks, podcasts and social media posts.
