Flashbots Head Argues Ethereum Suffers From Insufficient Ecosystem Investment

Hasu claims ETH secondary supply is not the issue, but rather low ecosystem funding. He warns that reducing inflation could dampen investment levels and notes research gaps in predicting second-order effects.

Woofun AI notes that Hasu, Head of Strategy at Flashbots, argues charging fees to passive holders supports projects like Lido, Aave, and DAT, which fund Ethereum client teams and EF derivative initiatives. He asserts the core issue for Ethereum is insufficient ecosystem investment rather than excessive ETH secondary supply, warning that reducing inflation may dampen investment levels and criticizing the research community for failing to predict these second-order effects.
