Ethereum is on the verge of a major breakthrough. The rapid development of zkEVM enables us to rebuild Layer 1 to simultaneously support scalability, verifiability, security, and censorship resistance. Layer 2 is continuously strengthening to meet user needs and eager to double down on Ethereum as its trust root. In short, the world is ready for the computer's arrival.
These significant innovations not only bring enormous benefits to our users but enable us to attractattract more users. This is meaningful: perhaps this is the best time to deploy our technology and values globally.
In response, we must rethink our current approach to designing, developing, and managing the protocol. The process of "delivering the protocol" is extremely complex, requiring us to proactively respond to needs that are difficult to express or even satisfy. We have a responsibility to use our skills to benefit the broader community.
Executing this mission requires our team, the protocol R&D team within the Ethereum Foundation (EF), to elevate focus and collaboration to a new height. This means we need to double down on areas where EF has unique domain knowledge and deep expertise that are unparalleled in our ecosystem: from writing mission-critical code to releasing breakthrough research to coordinating large-scale projects.
To support this vision, we are changing our operational approach and repositioning three strategic goals: L expanding the Blob layer, experience practice, this means reorganizing our team and establishing a clear coordination architecture around these strategic goals.
This also means some members of the protocol R&D team will no longer continue working at the ethereum Foundation they will remain in the And ethereum and encourage other teams being formed to seek them out.
Strategic Initiatives
Over the past year, many of us have felt we need to better clarify our priorities. Through community interactions, we collectively considered and proposed three ambitious goals to be achieved in the short term: expanding1Blob layer, and improving user experience. Successfully achieving these goals is the most valuable work we can do for the community, and we have a responsibility to accomplish them.
Now, we must ensure these goals directly drive our attention and resource allocation. Now, each goal is mapped to a Protocol strategic plan, a shared workspace that brings together our complementary talents. We encourage each team in Protocol to consider how their work supports the execution of these strategic plans.
<.is crucial to our our work execution is leaders with community trust in our team. We are more explicitly assigning leaders to accelerate the implementation of strategic initiatives, thereby enhancing accountability.Specifically, the following individuals are responsible for ensuring EF executes each strategic goal:
Expanding L: be& Ansgar Dietrichs, Ethereum will provide sufficient block space on L1 to accommodate all asset issuance, governance, DeFi, and L2 settlement activities without compromising reliability.
Expanding L2Alex2: Francesco Francesco D'ato', provide the best data access layer. Expanding data access throughput on Layer-1ensuring it becomes the most most attractive product in the entire ecosystem.
Improving User Experience: Barnabé Monnot and Josh Rudolf, providing a unified, seamless, and secure experience for individuals and institutions in the Ethereum ecosystem.
They will be supported by Dankrad Feist, who will serve as a strategic advisor across all areas and and lead projects designed to drive these goals.
Team
We need to mobilize the capabilities of all Protocol members&simultaneously more than ever before. Quickly converting research into prototypes and and then into need closer collaboration and loops. In recent years, we have seen more communication bridges built between teams teams and tangible results. Adhering to a shared vision, we must ensure our shared has home has an excellent working environment.
Maintaining open collaboration with every Protocol member requires us to have shared common expectations and highly trust that each of us can deliver results at best level. Team leaders will be ensuring responsible for members meet our excellent technical standards and continue and continuously grow, constantly constantly surpassing themselves.
Protocol is now a more united, streamlined organization with more focused teams. The updated organizational structure chart is as below follows p>
Community
The protocol itself cannot complete all tasks. ecosystem benefits from the efforts of many other core R&D teams who strengthen our efforts and turn functions into reality. Our responsibility is not to replace these teams but to set high standards for ourselves while collaborating with them.
Protocol is driving us to recreconfigure the the main governance forum and introduce new governance forums. Continuing to send the right signals and translate them into actions is crucial.
We are new members to work together and become part of the broader Ethereum core development community. We believe that the positions of experience manager and performance engineering manager are crucial to helping us address the practical problems of Ethereum users. Additionally, we welcome excellent applicantsions passionate about our mission to tell us through our general application form><,, let's together and deliver the protocol.
