The Ethereum Foundation has launched the Argot Collective, a non-profit organization focused on supporting Ethereum software development for up to a decade through long-term grants. The initiative has sparked controversy among proponents of the Vyper programming language, as Vyper was not included in the funding. Critics argue that this exclusion undermines security and usability for projects that rely on Vyper, which is used in decentralized finance (DeFi). Some speculate that personal or professional affiliations within the Foundation may have influenced the decision. The launch of Argot reflects a shift towards empowering independent bodies for Ethereum's development. However, concerns about funding priorities and potential bias persist within the Ethereum community. The Argot Collective is set to launch officially in early 2025.
