#Ethereum Foundation Reform#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a major reform, a process that has been ongoing for almost a year. The goal of the reform is to improve the technical expertise of the EF leadership, improve two-way communication with ecosystem participants (including users, application developers, wallets, and L2s), enhance execution power and speed, attract new talent, actively support application developers, and ensure that core values such as privacy, open source, and censorship resistance are implemented in the application layer. Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the EF will not pursue ideological shifts, will not lobby regulators or politicians excessively, and will never become a battleground for interest groups.This reform stems from widespread criticism of the EF leadership from the community, who believe that it lacks technical ability, communication skills, and execution power, and that it has intervened excessively in ecosystem development. Some argue that the EF should focus more on technical development rather than political lobbying. Others believe that the EF should be more supportive of the community rather than being a centralized entity.Specific measures of the reform include introducing more technical talent, improving communication mechanisms, increasing execution efficiency, and more actively supporting application developers. The EF will also continue to increase its investment in decentralized and privacy technologies, and ensure the use of the Ethereum chain, including for payments and fund management.Whether this reform will succeed remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the EF must make changes in order to better serve the Ethereum ecosystem and ensure the future development of Ethereum.
