Ethereum veterans plan to convert roughly 75,000 ETH from decade-old recovery funds into a staked endowment to finance smart contract security throughout Ethereum and its layer-2 ecosystem. This fund, deriving from leftover balances after TheDAO 2016 hard fork, will generate annual yield of $7.8 to $11.1 million to support continuous security efforts without liquidating principal. The initiative marks a transition toward institutional-scale security funding to underpin Ethereum's ambition as a global financial platform.
