"Golden Finance reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik posted on X platform regarding the departure of Danny Ryan, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, saying: 'I am very grateful for your hard work for the Ethereum ecosystem. You are a major force in bringing Ethereum to where it is today, and I hope you can take pride in helping the world reduce its electricity consumption by 0.23%. I also hope you get a good rest.'

Vitalik included an image in his reply, which read 'Ethereum's total electricity consumption once accounted for 0.23% of the world's total electricity consumption'."
