Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog publish. 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 at all times been a journey: a consistently 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.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 12 months, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings numerous and complementary views, enhancing our potential to satisfy 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 intently, problem one another constructively, and finally transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we can be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Aims (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 Government Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a consistently altering world. Our position 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: Guaranteeing 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 via 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 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 following 12 months:
Scaling Ethereum mainnetScaling blobsImproving 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 via 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 Notice
Ethereum begins the following chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis modifications – into a company that can talk increasingly more overtly, a company that can be prepared to enter troublesome dialogues immediately.
We are going to concentrate on pace of execution, accountability, clear targets, goals, and metrics to trace. We can 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 are going to concentrate on the success of Ethereum mainnet and the 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 via some of the inspiring technological and societal shifts we’ll ever expertise, a journey that we are going to 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 one of the best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to carry confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a concentrate on making the complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering one of the best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling via 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 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 every of our targets is to raised 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 reside purposes.
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 vitality 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 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 in addition make house when the ecosystem thrives by itself. This can be a community-led future.
The highway forward is filled 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 larger than anybody workforce, venture, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
