Former lead developer of Geth at the Ethereum Foundation, Péter Szilágyi, ignited a debate within the crypto community in recent days after re-circulating a letter he sent to foundation leadership last year.

Szilágyi also said that his total compensation over six years at the Foundation amounted to about $625,000 even though Ethereum's market value grew into the hundreds of billions during the same period. Some people online have sided with Szilágyi, criticizing the low level of compensation paid by the foundation.
