Ethereum Foundation Restructures Leadership to Enhance Research Focus and Address Scaling Challenges

On April 21st, a significant update from COINOTAG highlighted recent leadership adjustments within the Ethereum Foundation, as articulated by co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak. This restructuring is strategically designed to allow Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, to devote greater attention to research and innovative exploration, moving away from routine operational tasks and crisis management.

Stańczak elaborated that the Ethereum Foundation will now prioritize near-term research goals, specifically tackling pressing user experience issues and scaling challenges as part of imminent protocol upgrades. The organization has set a clear focus on enhancing layer-one scaling capabilities while also supporting developments in layer-two solutions. Furthermore, improvements in user experience, particularly regarding interoperability with upcoming upgrades like Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam, will be key targets for the foundation.
