The ETH community weekly 'Week in Ethereum' announced that it will stop updating, and the founder said it lacks a business model and foundation supportShenzhen TechFlow News, on January 2nd, according to official news, the ETH Weekly Report 'Week in Ethereum' (WiE), which has been founded for nearly ten years, officially ceased publication on January 1, 2025. Founder Evan Van Ness revealed three main reasons for the cessation of publication:
Foundation's attitude change: In early 2024, the leadership of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) expressed a lack of recognition for the value of WiE, and subsequently provided only symbolic funding. When EF completely terminated the funding, WiE also ceased operations.
Business Model Predicament: Van Ness stated that advertising and sponsorship revenue is difficult to sustain. Marketing departments generally do not pay attention to marketing channels for developers, and coupled with their high demands for content quality, it is difficult to achieve profitability. He once refused an ICO project offer in 2017.
