On June 11, Ethereum developer Péter Szilágyi and Ethereum Foundation co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak erupted. Szilágyi said that as a key member of the development team for Geth (the main client software for Go Ethereum), the Foundation has repeatedly offered to bid $5 million in the past for the Geth team to be spun off from the Foundation, but Szilágyi and his team members have rejected the offer and chosen to remain within the Foundation. Earlier, the Ethereum Foundation provided $5 million in unconditional funding to Parity (another Ethereum client development company) to ensure that the Ethereum network has multiple clients and reduce its reliance on Geth, indicating the Foundation’s long-term intention to decentralize client development responsibilities.

Tomasz Stańczak, the co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, clarified in a post that “there are no plans to remove Geth. It is a great client software and has a talented team that contributes to the security of the protocol. We will maintain and support Geth.”
