The Ethereum Foundation has started staking a portion of its ETH treasury, with an initial 2,016 ETH deposit and plans to allocate around 70,000 ETH over time.
Staking rewards will be directed back into the EF treasury to fund protocol R&D, ecosystem grants, and core operations.
The setup uses distributed validator infrastructure (Dirk and Vouch) and minority clients across multiple jurisdictions to avoid single points of failure and support client diversity.
This move effectively turns part of the EF treasury into productive staking capital rather than idle ETH.
Some potential implications:
- slightly reduces liquid ETH supply
- reinforces ETH’s staking-yield model
- aligns EF funding with network security
- signals long-term commitment to PoS

What do you think — should large ecosystem treasuries be staking by default?
