#Ethereum Foundation Reform#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a major reform, a process that has been ongoing for nearly a year. The goal of the reform is to improve the technical expertise of the EF leadership, enhance two-way communication with ecosystem participants (including users, application developers, wallets, and L2s), strengthen execution and speed, attract new talent, actively support application developers, and ensure that core values such as privacy, open-source, and censorship resistance are implemented at the application layer. Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the EF will not pursue an ideological shift, nor will it engage in excessive lobbying of regulatory agencies or political figures, and it will never transform itself into a playground for vested interests.The reform is a response to widespread criticism from the community, which argued that the EF leadership lacked technical skills, communicated inadequately with the ecosystem, and suffered from poor execution. The community called for reform and proposed new leadership candidates.The objective of the reform is to enable the EF to better serve the Ethereum ecosystem and ensure the decentralization and neutrality of Ethereum.Specific measures of the reform include:* Improving the technical expertise of the EF leadership* Enhancing two-way communication between the EF leadership and ecosystem participants* Strengthening execution and speed* Attracting new talent* Actively supporting application developers* Ensuring that core values such as privacy, open-source, and censorship resistance are implemented at the application layerThe reform does not aim to:* Implement an ideological/atmospheric shift* Begin actively lobbying regulatory agencies and powerful political figures* Become a playground for vested interests* Become a highly centralized organization, or even the "protagonist" of EthereumThe success of the reform will directly impact the future development of Ethereum.
