Vitalik Buterin will be stepping away from the day-to-day coordination of the Ethereum Foundation.
Tomasz K. Stanczak, the co-executive director of the foundation, says recent changes in leadership will free up the ETH co-creator’s time “for research and exploration” rather than crisis response.
“Each time Vitalik shares insights or communicates a direction, he accelerates major long-term breakthroughs. His recent posts on RISC-V and zkVMs have advanced promising avenues, while his writing on privacy has helped realign the community around the Ethereum Foundation’s core values. I want to make clear that Vitalik’s proposals will always carry weight, but they are intended to start conversations and encourage progress in difficult research areas. Community review may refine them significantly or even reject them.”
Stanczak says the Ethereum Foundation’s research effort will shift toward near-term goals like improving user experience and scaling.
“We are concentrating on Layer 1 scaling, support for Layer 2 scaling, and significant UX (user experience) improvements (including interoperability) in the Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam upgrades.
In parallel, we are exploring ways to bring forward projects that currently look three to five years away. Posts from our top researchers help some of them to ship within one or two years through initiatives such as next-generation execution and consensus layers.”
