For the remainder of 2024, WiE received only minimal financial support from the Ethereum Foundation. While this support was mostly symbolic, EF leadership chose to cut off this meager support, making it clear that WiE would end immediately.

They often mention that this newsletter made them decide to buy ETH. There was a time when this venerable newsletter was the upstream source for most pro-Ethereum news.
Unfortunately, WiE failed to find a sustainable business model. Advertising and sponsorships are hard to sell because marketing directors don't value developers. I have high standards for content, but getting it done in a profitable way is just too time consuming. "
