Andre Cronje, a luminary in the grand opera of decentralized finance, has castigates the Ethereum Foundation (EF) in the most theatrical fashion, decrying their “zero support” for developers. One might say he’s the Hamlet of smart contracts, musing over the existential void left by a foundation that appears to have forgotten the alphabet.
Cronje, with the panache of a man who’s burned 700 ETH on deployments and infrastructure (a modern Prometheus, if you will), laments the EF’s conspicuous absence of engagement. Ah, the sweet symphony of silence! No BD outreach, no grants, not even a retweet-a digital ghost haunting the corridors of Ethereum’s ivory tower. 🤡
“I tried contacting EF,” he sighs, “never a response, no BD outreach, no grants, 0 support, not even a retweet.”
In a post on X, Cronje wondered aloud, with the dramatic flair of a Victorian poet, where the EF’s resources were hiding. After all, one cannot build a castle in the air without a few coins in the piggy bank, can they? He compared his plight to the well-heeled projects in the Sonic ecosystem, which receive funding, audits, and marketing like a royal wedding. Meanwhile, our hero is left toasting marshmallows over a campfire of existential dread. 🏰
I am confused. So who is EF paying/supporting? While building on ETH I have burned over 700 ETH on deployments and ETH infra. I tried contacting EF, never a response, no BD outreach, no grants, 0 support, not even a retweet. When I started helping out with Sonic eco I was…

Sandeep Nailwal of Polygon, another tragic figure in this Shakespearean tragedy, chimed in with a similar lament. Despite scaling Ethereum like a spider on a trapeze, he claims the EF has failed to acknowledge Polygon’s L2 contributions. “When Polymarket wins big, it’s ‘Ethereum,’ but Polygon itself is not Ethereum. Mind-boggling,” he declared, as if addressing a jury of clueless jurors. 🕷️
Read this from Peter and realized that it’s time for me to also speak up.
NGL, I’ve started questioning my loyalty toward Ethereum. I did not come into crypto because of Bitcoin but because of Ethereum. I also have a lot of gratitude toward @VitalikButerin – someone I looked up…

Vitalik Buterin, ever the diplomat, responded with a nod to Polygon’s past and present contributions. “Polygon hosts @Polymarket, which is probably the single most successful example of a ‘not just boring finance’ app,” he wrote, as if bestowing a knighthood upon an unsuspecting knight. Yet one wonders: does gratitude from the king count for more than a retweet? 🏰
I really appreciate both @sandeepnailwal’s personal contributions and @0xPolygon’s immensely valuable role in the ethereum ecosystem.
To recap:
* Polygon hosts @Polymarket, which is probably the single most successful example of a “not just boring finance” app that has actually…

And so, the tale continues-a comedy of errors, where developers play Hamlet and foundations play the ghost. Will the EF ever rise to the occasion, or will they remain a punchline in the blockchain farce? Only time will tell. 🎭
