An Ethereum designer turned down speculation that the Ethereum Structure (EF) lagged a current deposit of more than 30,000 Ether into the decentralized financing (DeFi) procedure Sky, previously called MakerDAO.
On March 10, a wallet address transferred 30,098 Ether (ETH), worth about $56 million, into Sky. Crypto intelligence platform Arkham identified the address “Ethereum Structure?,” raising speculation that the EF might have moved funds into the loaning procedure– a method advised by the neighborhood– rather of straight offering ETH to money its operations.
Nevertheless, neighborhood members rapidly dismissed the claims, clarifying that the wallet in concern does not come from the Ethereum Structure. Eric Conner, the co-author of Ethereum Enhancement Proposition (EIP-1559), called a Wu Blockchain report “totally phony,” indicating that the address does not come from the EF.
Anthony Sassano, host of The Daily Gwei, likewise mentioned the report, stating that the wallet does not come from the EF.

Ethereum wallet likely from an early financier
Wu Blockchain later on clarified that while the account was believed of coming from the Ethereum Structure, deal history recommended it was most likely connected with an early Ethereum financier.
The address got a 4 million Dai (DAI) transfer from the EF ETH Sale in Might 2022, and preliminary ETH financing was traced back to a wallet called jonny.eth.
The address transferred the $56 million into the Sky vault to prevent liquidation as ETH rates toppled. On March 10, ETH dropped from a high of $2,138 to $1,813, a 15% decrease.
The relocation enabled the wallet to prevent liquidation, reducing its liquidation cost to $1,127.14, 40.19% listed below ETH’s cost of $1,896 at the time of composing.

Ethereum Structure released $120 million into DeFi procedures
While the current deposit into Sky was not connected to the Ethereum Structure, the EF has actually dealt with criticism in the past for offering ETH for stablecoins to money group wages and operations. In January, neighborhood members recommended that the structure might rather obtain stablecoins versus its ETH holdings instead of offer the properties.
At the time, Sassano stated that rather of switching ETH for stablecoins, the structure ought to think about utilizing Aave to obtain stablecoins versus ETH. Sky permits users to do something comparable. By transferring ETH, users can obtain DAI.
On Feb. 13, the EF listened to the neighborhood and released 45,000 ETH, about $120 million at the time, to DeFi procedures Aave, Glow and Substance.
Neighborhood members commemorated the relocation, with Aave creator and CEO Stani Kulechov stating, “DeFi will win.” The EF likewise stated there’s “more to come,” recommending this is not their last venture into DeFi.
