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 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 Whereas the Ethereum Basis (EF) could also be a decade outdated, it stays prepared to reinvent itself.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 12 months, EF embraced a brand new management mannequin with twin Govt Administrators. This design brings various and complementary views, enhancing our means to satisfy 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 considering.
Importantly, EF shouldn’t be 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 finally transfer ahead as a united workforce with shared targets.
Our Ideas and Focus Areas
Wanting forward, we can be working with two pillars:
Guiding Ideas (our core values) and Targets (our pursuit of impression 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 Govt Administrators is to implement EF’s imaginative and prescient in a consistently altering world. Our position consists of strategic planning, ecosystem stewardship, workforce 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, anyplace, 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 personal 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 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
- Enhancing UX, together with L2 interop + software layer
Collectively, meaning enhancing mainnet and L2s interoperability and coodination, UX, DevEx, giving purposes 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, appeal to, and onboard expertise.
Tomasz’s Be aware
Ethereum begins the subsequent chapter. The values stay unchanged: open supply, censorship resistance, privateness, and safety. The Ethereum Basis adjustments – into a corporation that can talk increasingly brazenly, a corporation that can be prepared to enter troublesome dialogues immediately.
We are going to concentrate on velocity of execution, accountability, clear targets, goals, and metrics to trace. We can 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 concentrate on the success of Ethereum mainnet and the complete 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 via one of the crucial 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 12 months 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 convey confidence to their customers. Forward of us is a concentrate on making the complete ecosystem of chains really feel like one by delivering the most effective UX, design, and interoperability, whereas attaining scaling via engineering excellence and cutting-edge analysis.
Hsiao-Wei’s Be aware
Within the subsequent few months, my precedence can be on strengthening the EF’s operations to assist the ecosystem’s progress. An adaptable and succesful basis helps us higher serve Ethereum’s long-term mission.
As we transfer with sharper focus, one in every of our targets is to raised assist Ethereum’s software layer. We are going to assist builders and customers by enhancing 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, conserving 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 shouldn’t be a monolith. It’s a residing, respiration community of communities, builders, researchers, artists, educators, and dreamers. It’s world, various, and proudly decentralized. We’re regularly impressed by the creativity and resilience of the ecosystem. EF will proceed to point out up the place we’re most wanted, but in addition make area when the ecosystem thrives by itself. It is a community-led future.
The highway forward is filled with prospects. Ethereum has already remodeled what’s doable in know-how, finance, governance, and past. To everybody constructing, educating, researching, experimenting, and imagining new futures: thanks. Collectively, we’re constructing one thing larger than anybody workforce, challenge, or technology. We’re honored to stroll this path with you, and we’re excited for all that’s forward.
