“They began to stop funding from the youngest projects. Since December 1, they stopped financing us, the same fate awaits other projects next year, ”says Breznik.

She was answered by the public relations managerEthereum Foundation Joseph Schweitzer, who called the message "completely unreliable." Another representative of the organization, Hudson Jameson, also denied Breznik's statement.
