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.

U.S. Treasury sell-off intensifies! 7-year Treasury auction sees weak demand, Treasury buyback falls short of the cap again, municipal bond yields hit highest in 15 years
On Thursday, the yield on the U.S. Treasury Department's $44 billion 7-year note auction soared to 5.085%, marking a historical high for this maturity. The allocation ratio to overseas investors dropped to a near two-year low. The Treasury's expanded repurchase operations only reached 68% of the cap, lower than the previous 86%, indicating less liquidity support than expected. The pressure spread to the U.S. municipal bond market, with the 30-year yield breaking above 5%, the highest since 2011, and the scale of sell-off reaching levels unseen since the early days of the pandemic. On Thursday, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury exceeded 5.2% for the first time since 2007.
