Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog put up. We have now been in our new Co-Govt Director roles for nearly a month. The honeymoon is over, it is time to get shifting.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has at all times been a journey: a always evolving ecosystem powered by individuals who consider in constructing a extra open and decentralized world. Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade previous, it stays keen to reinvent itself.
This yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Govt Administrators. This design brings numerous 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 considering.
Importantly, EF shouldn’t be a two-headed carriage pulling in several instructions. Our relationship is constructed on mutual respect, belief, and shared values. We collaborate intently, problem one another constructively, and in the end transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Rules and Focus Areas
Trying forward, we will likely be working with two pillars:
Guiding Rules (our core values) and Goals (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 Govt Administrators is to implement EF’s vision in a always altering world. Our position contains strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, workforce management, and operational oversight. All in help of Ethereum’s long-term success.
Values we champion:
- Censorship Resistance: Making certain that Ethereum stays an open community the place anybody, wherever, can transact and construct with out obstacles or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by means of brazenly 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 decisions, 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 subsequent 12 months:
- Scaling Ethereum mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Bettering UX, together with L2 interop + utility layer
Collectively, which means enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving functions 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 means of the pathways in 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 Be aware
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis modifications – into a corporation that can talk an increasing number of brazenly, a corporation that will likely be keen to enter tough dialogues directly.
We’ll concentrate on velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, goals, and metrics to trace. We will likely be targeted on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a world, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll concentrate on the success of Ethereum mainnet and all the ecosystem – L2s that convey 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 means of some of the inspiring technological and societal shifts we are going to ever expertise, a journey that we are going to 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 very best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to convey confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a concentrate on making all the ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas attaining scaling by means of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Be aware
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence will likely be on strengthening the EF’s operations to help the ecosystem’s progress. 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 raised help Ethereum’s utility 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 dwell functions.
We’re working to enhance how we plan, prioritize, and coordinate throughout groups inside EF and throughout the broader ecosystem, conserving 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 vitality and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum shouldn’t be a monolith. It’s a residing, respiration community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s international, numerous, 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. This can be a community-led future.
The highway forward is stuffed with prospects. Ethereum has already reworked what’s doable in expertise, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, instructing, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing greater than anybody workforce, undertaking, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
