Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog submit. 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 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays keen to reinvent itself.
This yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings numerous and complementary views, enhancing our potential to fulfill complicated 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 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 staff with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we might be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Aims (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 Government Administrators is to implement EF’s vision in a consistently altering world. Our function consists of strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, staff management, and operational oversight. All in assist 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 limitations or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by way of brazenly shared information 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 decisions, 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 following 12 months:
- Scaling Ethereum mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Bettering UX, together with L2 interop + software layer
Collectively, which means enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving functions and L2s extra presence and a spotlight at Devcon, amplifying their messages by way of communication channels.
Past this, we perceive that we have to speed up journeys of builders, founders, establishments by way of the pathways in direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has information and leaders who can mentor, lead, entice, 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 an increasing number of brazenly, a corporation that might be keen to enter troublesome dialogues immediately.
We’ll deal with velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, targets, and metrics to trace. We might be centered on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a world, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll deal with the success of Ethereum mainnet and your entire ecosystem – L2s that deliver 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 vital inspiring technological and societal shifts we are going to 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 very best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to deliver confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making your entire ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best 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 might be on strengthening the EF’s operations to assist 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 among our targets is to raised assist Ethereum’s software layer. We’ll assist 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, holding 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 dwelling, respiratory community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s international, numerous, and proudly decentralized. We’re regularly 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 thrives by itself. This can be a community-led future.
The highway forward is stuffed with prospects. Ethereum has already reworked what’s potential in expertise, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, educating, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing larger than anybody staff, challenge, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
