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 transferring.
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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays keen to reinvent itself.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 capability 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 considering.
Importantly, EF is just not 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 crew with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we can be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Targets (our pursuit of impression and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the inspiration 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, crew 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 boundaries or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven growth by 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 inspiration 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
- Bettering UX, together with L2 interop + software layer
Collectively, which means enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes and L2s extra presence and a spotlight 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, entice, and onboard expertise.
Tomasz’s Notice
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis modifications – into a company that can talk increasingly more brazenly, a company that can be keen to enter tough dialogues immediately.
We are going to give attention to velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, targets, and metrics to trace. We can 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 are going to give attention to 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 in regards to the journey – a journey by one of the crucial 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 most effective structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to deliver confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a give attention to making your entire 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 Notice
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence can 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 in all our targets is to raised assist Ethereum’s software layer. We are going to assist builders and customers by enhancing the developer and person 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, protecting 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 is just not a monolith. It’s a residing, respiration 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 point out 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 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 larger than anyone crew, undertaking, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
