Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog put up. We have now been in our new Co-Government Director roles for nearly a month. The honeymoon is over, it is time to get shifting.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has all the time been a journey: a continually 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.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 capacity 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 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
Trying forward, we will likely be working with two pillars:
Guiding Rules (our core values) and Targets (our pursuit of affect and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the inspiration that allows 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 function 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: Making certain 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 overtly 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 inspiration 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 subsequent 12 months:
- Scaling Ethereum mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Enhancing UX, together with L2 interop + utility layer
Collectively, meaning bettering mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes 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 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 Word
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 an increasing number of overtly, a corporation that will likely be prepared to enter tough dialogues immediately.
We are going to concentrate on pace of execution, accountability, clear targets, aims, and metrics to trace. We will likely 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 are going to concentrate on the success of Ethereum mainnet and all the ecosystem – L2s that deliver 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 concerning the journey – a journey by 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 one of the best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to deliver confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a concentrate on making all the ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering one of the best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Word
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 higher help Ethereum’s utility layer. We are going to help builders and customers by bettering the developer and person expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to dwell 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 will not be 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 regularly impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to point out up the place we’re most wanted, but in addition make house when the ecosystem prospers by itself. It is a community-led future.
The street 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 anyone workforce, venture, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
