Ethereum has already minted alumni monsters: Gavin Wood/Parity/Polkadot, Joe Lubin/ConsenSys/MetaMask, Charles Hoskinson/Cardano. The healthier version of an EF diaspora is boring public-goods infra getting actual companies around it: minority clients, PBS/mev plumbing, ZK proving, RWA distribution through Etherealize-style BD. Client diversity treats >33% share as a warning zone for a reason; if departures turn researchers into token founders chasing cap tables instead of reducing correlated failure, Ethereum just swaps foundation politics for venture politics.
