Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog submit. We have now been in our new Co-Govt 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 previous, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.
This yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Govt Administrators. This design brings various and complementary views, enhancing our means 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 will not be 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 group with shared targets.
Our Rules and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we shall 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 muse that allows us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Govt Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a continually altering world. Our position consists of 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, wherever, can transact and construct with out limitations or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement by means of 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 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 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 by way of communication channels.
Past this, we perceive that we have to speed up journeys of builders, founders, establishments by means of the pathways in the direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has data and leaders who can mentor, lead, entice, 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 corporation that can talk increasingly more brazenly, a corporation that shall be prepared to enter tough dialogues at once.
We are going to give attention to velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, aims, and metrics to trace. We shall 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 give attention to the success of Ethereum mainnet and the whole ecosystem – L2s that convey 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 means of 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 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 convey confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a give attention to making the whole ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas attaining scaling by means of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Observe
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence shall be on strengthening the EF’s operations to assist the ecosystem’s development. 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 higher 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 stay purposes.
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 vitality and creativity of the worldwide Ethereum ecosystem.
A Future Constructed Collectively
Ethereum will not be a monolith. It’s a dwelling, respiratory 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 house when the ecosystem thrives by itself. It is a community-led future.
The highway forward is stuffed with potentialities. Ethereum has already reworked what’s doable in expertise, 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, undertaking, or era. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
