Ethereum Foundation finalizes multi-year support for Argot Collective
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has completed the final stage of a five-year funding commitment to Argot, an independent collective responsible for maintaining key Ethereum developer infrastructure, including the Solidity programming language.
The Ethereum Foundation has completed our five year agreement with @argotorg to support the development and maintenance of critical Ethereum infrastructure under a neutral and independent umbrella.

Under the agreement, around 4,938 stETH will be placed into two contracts managed through a 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet shared by Argot, the EF and a newly created Fail-Safe Committee (FSC), as noted by Argot.
Half of the funds will become available on July 1, 2026, with the remainder unlocking on July 1, 2027. The FSC will serve as an independent oversight and mediation body under the governance framework.
The funding is intended to support Argot’s work on Solidity and related projects spanning smart contract verification, debugging tools and language research.
Launched in late 2024, Argot is an independent, non-profit research and development collective established to provide a neutral home for Ethereum’s core software infrastructure, overseeing projects including the Solidity programming language and other open-source developer tools.

Blackstone President Jon Gray refuted the notion of an “AI trillion-dollar investment bubble” in his latest closed-door speech. He noted that large models and AI company revenues are exhibiting explosive growth by hundreds of times, and macro productivity has already surged. He likened the current AI wave to "the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in 1870," emphasizing that demand far exceeds supply. He stated that the true investment focus lies in addressing real-world “hard shortages,” specifically by heavily investing in chips, data centers, and power infrastructure, all of which face extremely high capital and capacity barriers.
Boosted by Muse, Nasdaq’s “quiet surge” raises doubts about a return to AI trading; next week’s Micron earnings become the focal point
The explosive growth of Meta's AI agent Muse shows that artificial intelligence is evolving from "chatting" to "getting things done": continuously running, data-orchestrating agents will extend computing power demand from GPUs to CPUs, boosting Arm, Intel, and AMD. Goldman Sachs commented that the strong rebound in the Nasdaq resembles a "quiet rally" driven by tech giants and options; institutions recognize the fundamentals of AI, but are concerned about valuations rising too quickly and divergences between interest rates and the credit market, waiting for Micron's earnings to verify whether the AI trade can be sustained.
