Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog publish. 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 consistently 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 previous, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.
This 12 months, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Govt Administrators. This design brings various and complementary views, enhancing our means 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 will not be a two-headed carriage pulling in numerous 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 crew with shared objectives.
Our Rules and Focus Areas
Trying forward, we shall be working with two pillars:
Guiding Rules (our core values) and Goals (our pursuit of impression and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the muse that allows us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Govt Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a consistently altering world. Our position contains strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, crew management, and operational oversight. All in assist 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 limitations or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by way of overtly shared data and instruments.
- Privateness Safety: Safeguarding particular person freedom and autonomy in a digital world by enabling non-public 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 assist 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
- Enhancing UX, together with L2 interop + utility layer
Collectively, which means bettering 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 way of the pathways in the direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has data and leaders who can mentor, lead, appeal to, and onboard expertise.
Tomasz’s Observe
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis adjustments – into a corporation that can talk increasingly overtly, a corporation that shall be prepared to enter tough dialogues at once.
We’ll deal with pace of execution, accountability, clear objectives, targets, and metrics to trace. We shall be targeted on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a worldwide, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll deal with 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 strong rock and a nimble community behind all of the transactions and coordination mechanisms. We’re excited concerning the journey – a journey by way of one of the 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 12 months of scaling – scaling Ethereum mainnet (L1), supporting the success of L2 chains by offering them with the perfect structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to carry confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making your complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the perfect UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by way of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Observe
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence shall be on strengthening the EF’s operations to assist 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 every of our objectives is to higher assist Ethereum’s utility layer. We’ll assist builders and customers by bettering the developer and consumer expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to reside functions.
We’re working to enhance how we plan, prioritize, and coordinate throughout groups inside EF and throughout the broader ecosystem, retaining our efforts aligned with group wants and Ethereum’s cypherpunk spirit. Strengthening EF is just one a part of the transition. The true momentum comes from the power and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum will not be a monolith. It’s a dwelling, respiration community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s international, 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 area when the ecosystem prospers by itself. It is a community-led future.
The highway forward is stuffed with potentialities. Ethereum has already remodeled what’s doable in know-how, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, educating, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing larger than anyone crew, mission, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
