The foundation includes the various client ecosystem of ETH and it consists of the consensus layer clients and the execution layer that are both vital aspects of the future Ethereum mergers, as the announcement reads:

“The donation sums up to $1.5 million and goes to open-source developer teams like Nimbus, Besu, Geth, Erigon, and Nethermind”.

The developer team is to make more provision for the network’s critical infrastructure to see the transition o fETH as the ETH is going to transit to proof of stake mechanism from proof of work as the post on the web page of ETH reads:

“In the heart of what we are developing together is a broad execution-layer client ecosystem. So today, we gladly announce that Kraken-fx, Uniswap, synthetix_io, graph-protocol, compound-grants, LidoFinance, and donates $250K each to support ETH 20 client teams.”

Jesse Powell as the co-founder of Kraken said that the company is proud to give back to teh valiant builders that are working hard to bring a cutting-edge crypto innovation. Kraken proposed that the exchange users will stake up to 800,000 ETH in July and this is worth about $2.5 billion with the current prices. The network platform gives out 25,300 ETH as rewards emerging from staking when it started. The project portrays an effort to ensure the security of the growth of the network and its decentralization. Each of the elements is exemplified by the diversity of the clients and the goal to bring more success and strength to the teams as the announcement revealed.

The ETH improvement proposal 1559 upgrade was launched earlier this month and it introduces a burning mechanism as an aspect of the regulated gas fee structure. As per the Etherscan data, about 4.85 ETH worth about $15,300 are burned each minute as of writing and over 70,000 ETH has been burned or removed from the network’s circulation. Etherscan is a Block Explorer and Analytics Platform for Ethereum as a decentralized smart contract platform.
