#Ethereum Foundation Restructures#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing significant structural adjustments, a process that has been ongoing for nearly a year. This adjustment stems from widespread criticism of EF's leadership from the community, with Vitalik Buterin publicly expressing the changes on the X platform. The goals of the adjustment include enhancing the leadership's technical capabilities, improving two-way communication with ecosystem stakeholders (including users, application developers, wallets, and L2s), strengthening execution and speed, attracting new talent, actively supporting application developers, and ensuring that core values like privacy, open-source, and censorship resistance are implemented at the application level. Vitalik also emphasized that the EF will not pursue ideological shifts, nor will it engage in excessive lobbying of regulatory bodies or political figures, and it will never become a battleground for interest groups. The community has responded enthusiastically to these adjustments, with many believing it is a necessary step for the EF to reexamine its own positioning and return to its decentralized spirit. Some believe that the EF should more actively utilize the tools built within the ecosystem, even if this might mean the EF appearing less neutral in this regard. However, overall, the community is optimistic about the future of the EF, hoping that the new leadership will lead the Ethereum ecosystem towards a more prosperous future.
