Hello! That is Hsiao-Wei and Tomasz co-writing this weblog put up. 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 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 keen 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 means 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 is just not a two-headed carriage pulling in numerous instructions. Our relationship is constructed on mutual respect, belief, and shared values. We collaborate carefully, problem one another constructively, and in the end transfer ahead as a united group with shared objectives.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we will probably be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Goals (our pursuit of affect and resilience). Technical excellence underpins all that we do and it’s the inspiration that permits us to ship on our mission.
Our job as Government Administrators is to implement EF’s vision 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: Guaranteeing that Ethereum stays an open community the place anybody, wherever, can transact and construct with out boundaries or exterior management.
- Open Supply Innovation: Fostering collaboration, transparency, and community-driven growth by means of brazenly shared information 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 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 following 12 months:
- Scaling Ethereum mainnet
- Scaling blobs
- Bettering 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 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 means of the pathways in direction of constructing on Ethereum and adopting Ethereum. Ethereum Basis has information 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 corporation that may talk an increasing number of brazenly, a corporation that will probably be keen to enter troublesome dialogues directly.
We’ll concentrate on velocity of execution, accountability, clear objectives, aims, and metrics to trace. We will probably be targeted on the success of the Ethereum mainnet protocol. Ethereum mainnet will stay a world, impartial community, a protocol trusted to be trustless. We’ll concentrate on the success of Ethereum mainnet and the whole 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 in regards to the journey – a journey by means of one of the inspiring technological and societal shifts we are going to 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 most effective structure to scale, to safe their networks, and to deliver confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a concentrate on making the whole ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the most effective UX, design, and interoperability, whereas attaining scaling by means of engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Notice
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence will probably 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, considered one of our objectives is to raised assist Ethereum’s utility layer. We’ll assist builders and customers by bettering the developer and consumer 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, protecting our efforts aligned with group wants and Ethereum’s cypherpunk spirit. Strengthening EF is just one a part of the transition. The actual momentum comes from the power 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 additionally make house when the ecosystem thrives by itself. This can be 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, undertaking, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
