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 shifting.
A Second of Transition and Alternative
Ethereum has at all times been a journey: a always 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays keen to reinvent itself.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 12 months, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings various and complementary views, enhancing our skill 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 pondering.
Importantly, EF shouldn’t 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 finally transfer ahead as a united group with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we will likely be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Goals (our pursuit of impression 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 always altering world. Our position contains strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, group 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, anyplace, can transact and construct with out obstacles or exterior management.Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven growth by brazenly 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 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 mainnetScaling blobsImproving 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 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 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 modifications – into a company that may talk an increasing number of brazenly, a company that will likely be keen to enter tough dialogues at once.
We’ll deal with velocity 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 world, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll deal with 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 in regards to the journey – a journey by probably the most 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 very best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to carry confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making the complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas reaching scaling by engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Observe
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence will likely 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 every of 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 stay 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 shouldn’t be 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 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 area when the ecosystem prospers by itself. This can be a community-led future.
The highway forward is filled 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 greater than anybody group, challenge, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
