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 all the time 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.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 yr, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Government Administrators. This design brings numerous and complementary views, enhancing our skill 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 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 Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we might 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 inspiration that allows us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Government Administrators is to implement EF’s vision in a consistently altering world. Our function consists of strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, group 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 obstacles or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven improvement via 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 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 mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Bettering UX, together with L2 interop + utility layer
Collectively, which means enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving functions and L2s extra presence and a focus 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 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 following chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis modifications – into a corporation that may talk an increasing number of brazenly, a corporation that might be prepared to enter tough dialogues at once.
We’ll deal with velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, aims, and metrics to trace. We might 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’ll deal with the success of Ethereum mainnet and your complete 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 concerning the journey – a journey via probably the most 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 very best structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to deliver confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a deal with making your complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the very best UX, design, and interoperability, whereas attaining scaling via engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Observe
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence might be on strengthening the EF’s operations to help 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 in all our targets is to raised help Ethereum’s utility layer. We’ll help builders and customers by enhancing the developer and person expertise, clarifying requirements, strengthening ecosystems, and smoothing the journey from concepts to reside functions.
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 will not be a monolith. It’s a dwelling, respiratory community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s international, numerous, and proudly decentralized. We’re frequently impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to indicate 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 remodeled what’s attainable 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, mission, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
