Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog submit. We have now been in our new Co-Government Director roles for nearly a month. The honeymoon is over, it is time to get transferring.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has all the time been a journey: a continually evolving ecosystem powered by individuals who imagine in constructing a extra open and decentralized world. Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.
This yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings numerous and complementary views, enhancing our capability to satisfy complicated challenges. We’re excited to embrace the alternatives and challenges forward, guided by a deep dedication to Ethereum’s core values and a imaginative and prescient grounded in stewardship, coordination, and long-term pondering.
Importantly, EF shouldn’t be a two-headed carriage pulling in numerous instructions. Our relationship is constructed on mutual respect, belief, and shared values. We collaborate carefully, problem one another constructively, and finally transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Rules and Focus Areas
Trying forward, we will probably be working with two pillars:
Guiding Rules (our core values) and Goals (our pursuit of affect and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the muse that permits us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Government Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a continually altering world. Our function contains strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, workforce management, and operational oversight. All in help of Ethereum’s long-term success.
Values we champion:
Censorship Resistance: Guaranteeing that Ethereum stays an open community the place anybody, wherever, can transact and construct with out boundaries or exterior management.Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by means of overtly shared data and instruments.Privateness Safety: Safeguarding particular person freedom and autonomy in a digital world by enabling non-public interactions with out sacrificing safety.Safety: Sustaining belief, robustness, and resilience throughout the Ethereum ecosystem by prioritizing safe design and steady analysis.
These values are the muse that information our technical selections, our help for the ecosystem, and our long-term imaginative and prescient for Ethereum as a public good.
Whereas remembering these values, we’ve set main instructions for the subsequent 12 months:
Scaling Ethereum mainnetScaling blobsImproving UX, together with L2 interop + utility layer
Collectively, which means bettering mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes and L2s extra presence and a focus at Devcon, amplifying their messages through communication channels.
Past this, we perceive that we have to speed up journeys of builders, founders, establishments by means of the pathways in the direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has data and leaders who can mentor, lead, appeal to, and onboard expertise.
Tomasz’s Notice
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis modifications – into a company that can talk increasingly overtly, a company that will probably be prepared to enter tough dialogues at once.
We’ll deal with pace of execution, accountability, clear targets, goals, and metrics to trace. We will probably be targeted on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a world, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll deal with the success of Ethereum mainnet and the whole ecosystem – L2s that carry mass adoption and quite a few advantages to the customers, mainnet that stands as each a strong rock and a nimble community behind all of the transactions and coordination mechanisms. We’re excited concerning the journey – a journey by means of one of the vital inspiring technological and societal shifts we’ll ever expertise, a journey that we’ll embark on collectively – visionaries and down-to-earth builders.
Forward of us lies one yr of scaling – scaling Ethereum mainnet (L1), supporting the success of L2 chains by offering them with the very best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to carry confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making the whole ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by means of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Notice
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence will probably be on strengthening the EF’s operations to help the ecosystem’s progress. An adaptable and succesful basis helps us higher serve Ethereum’s long-term mission.
As we transfer with sharper focus, certainly one of our targets is to raised help Ethereum’s utility layer. We’ll help builders and customers by bettering the developer and person expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to reside purposes.
We’re working to enhance how we plan, prioritize, and coordinate throughout groups inside EF and throughout the broader ecosystem, retaining our efforts aligned with neighborhood wants and Ethereum’s cypherpunk spirit. Strengthening EF is just one a part of the transition. The actual momentum comes from the vitality and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum shouldn’t be a monolith. It’s a residing, respiratory community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s international, numerous, and proudly decentralized. We’re regularly impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to indicate up the place we’re most wanted, but additionally make house when the ecosystem prospers by itself. This can be a community-led future.
The street forward is filled with potentialities. Ethereum has already reworked what’s doable in expertise, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, educating, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing larger than anybody workforce, undertaking, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
