Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog publish. We have now been in our new Co-Government Director roles for nearly a month. The honeymoon is over, it is time to get transferring.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has all the time been a journey: a continually evolving ecosystem powered by individuals who imagine in constructing a extra open and decentralized world. Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays keen to reinvent itself.
This yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings various and complementary views, enhancing our skill 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 isn’t a two-headed carriage pulling in several instructions. Our relationship is constructed on mutual respect, belief, and shared values. We collaborate carefully, problem one another constructively, and in the end transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Rules and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we might be working with two pillars:
Guiding Rules (our core values) and Targets (our pursuit of influence and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the muse that permits us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Government Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a continually altering world. Our position consists of strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, workforce management, and operational oversight. All in help of Ethereum’s long-term success.
Values we champion:
- Censorship Resistance: Guaranteeing that Ethereum stays an open community the place anybody, anyplace, can transact and construct with out boundaries or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by overtly shared information 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 muse that information our technical selections, our help 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 following 12 months:
- Scaling Ethereum mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Enhancing UX, together with L2 interop + software layer
Collectively, meaning enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes and L2s extra presence and a focus at Devcon, amplifying their messages through communication channels.
Past this, we perceive that we have to speed up journeys of builders, founders, establishments by the pathways in the direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has information and leaders who can mentor, lead, appeal to, and onboard expertise.
Tomasz’s Observe
Ethereum begins the following chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis adjustments – into a corporation that may talk increasingly overtly, a corporation that might be keen to enter troublesome dialogues immediately.
We’ll give attention to pace of execution, accountability, clear targets, goals, and metrics to trace. We might be centered on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a worldwide, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll give attention to the success of Ethereum mainnet and your complete ecosystem – L2s that carry mass adoption and quite a few advantages to the customers, mainnet that stands as each a stable rock and a nimble community behind all of the transactions and coordination mechanisms. We’re excited in regards to the journey – a journey by probably the most 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 most effective structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to carry confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a give attention to making your complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the most effective UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Observe
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence might be on strengthening the EF’s operations to help the ecosystem’s development. An adaptable and succesful basis helps us higher serve Ethereum’s long-term mission.
As we transfer with sharper focus, one in all our targets is to higher help Ethereum’s software layer. We’ll help builders and customers by enhancing the developer and consumer expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to reside purposes.
We’re working to enhance how we plan, prioritize, and coordinate throughout groups inside EF and throughout the broader ecosystem, maintaining our efforts aligned with neighborhood wants and Ethereum’s cypherpunk spirit. Strengthening EF is just one a part of the transition. The actual momentum comes from the power and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum isn’t a monolith. It’s a residing, respiratory community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s world, various, and proudly decentralized. We’re frequently impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to indicate up the place we’re most wanted, but additionally make house when the ecosystem thrives by itself. It is a community-led future.
The highway forward is filled with prospects. Ethereum has already remodeled what’s potential in know-how, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, educating, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing greater than anyone workforce, undertaking, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
