Vitalik: Large-scale changes to the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation are currently underway

PANews reported on January 18 that Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, issued a statement saying that large-scale changes to the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation are currently underway. This change has lasted for nearly a year. Some of these changes have already been implemented and announced, while some are still in progress. Mainly want to achieve the following goals:

• Improve the technical expertise of the Ethereum Foundation’s leadership;
• Improving two-way communication and connection between the Ethereum Foundation leadership and new and existing participants in the ecosystem, the Ethereum Foundation is responsible for supporting: users (individuals and institutions), application developers, wallets, L2;
• Introducing fresh talents to improve execution capabilities and speed;
• More actively support application developers to ensure that important values ​​and inalienable rights (especially privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users, including at the application layer;
• Continued increased use of decentralized and privacy technologies and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and money management.

Things to avoid in the future include:

• Execute some kind of ideological/climate shift;
• Start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful politicians (especially in the US, but really everywhere, especially big countries) and risk damaging Ethereum’s status as a global neutral platform;
• Become an arena for vested interests;
• Become a highly centralized organization and even become the "protagonist" of Ethereum.
