### Ethereum Foundation Reform#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a significant reform, a process that has been ongoing for nearly a year. The goals of the reform include enhancing the technical expertise of leadership, improving two-way communication with ecosystem participants (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 layer. Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the EF will not pursue an ideological shift, nor will it engage in excessive lobbying of regulators or politicians, and it will never allow itself to become an arena for interest groups. The backdrop of the reform is widespread criticism from the community, which has accused the EF leadership of lacking technical competence, insufficient communication with the ecosystem, low execution capability, and excessive intervention in Ethereum's development. Specific measures of the reform include introducing new talent, enhancing the technical capabilities of leadership, strengthening communication with the ecosystem, and providing more active support to application developers. The goal of the reform is to make the EF a more technically oriented, decentralized, and transparent organization, better serving the Ethereum ecosystem.
