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 shifting.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has all the time been a journey: a always evolving ecosystem powered by individuals who consider in constructing a extra open and decentralized world. Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade previous, it stays keen 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 potential to fulfill advanced 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 just isn’t a two-headed carriage pulling in numerous instructions. Our relationship is constructed on mutual respect, belief, and shared values. We collaborate intently, problem one another constructively, and in the end transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Trying forward, we might be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Aims (our pursuit of affect and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the inspiration that allows us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Government Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a always altering world. Our position contains strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, workforce management, and operational oversight. All in assist of Ethereum’s long-term success.
Values we champion:
Censorship Resistance: Making certain that Ethereum stays an open community the place anybody, anyplace, can transact and construct with out obstacles or exterior management.Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by way of overtly shared data and instruments.Privateness Safety: Safeguarding particular person freedom and autonomy in a digital world by enabling personal 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 inspiration that information our technical decisions, our assist 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 + software layer
Collectively, meaning bettering mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes and L2s extra presence and a focus at Devcon, amplifying their messages by way of communication channels.
Past this, we perceive that we have to speed up journeys of builders, founders, establishments by way of the pathways in 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 Be aware
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis adjustments – into a company that can talk increasingly more overtly, a company that might be keen to enter tough dialogues immediately.
We are going to deal with velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, aims, and metrics to trace. We might be targeted on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a worldwide, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We are going to deal with the success of Ethereum mainnet and all the ecosystem – L2s that convey 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 way of one of the crucial 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 convey confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making all the ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by way of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Be aware
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence might be on strengthening the EF’s operations to assist the ecosystem’s development. An adaptable and succesful basis helps us higher serve Ethereum’s long-term mission.
As we transfer with sharper focus, considered one of our targets is to higher assist Ethereum’s software layer. We are going to assist builders and customers by bettering the developer and consumer expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to stay 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 true momentum comes from the power and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum just isn’t a monolith. It’s a dwelling, respiratory community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s world, numerous, and proudly decentralized. We’re frequently impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to point out up the place we’re most wanted, but additionally make area when the ecosystem prospers by itself. This can be a community-led future.
The highway forward is filled with prospects. Ethereum has already reworked what’s attainable in know-how, 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, venture, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
