Ethereum shock continues

Over the past few months, EF has undergone significant leadership and structural changes.

In January, the co -founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin announced changes in the EF leadership model, focused on switching to technical knowledge and better communication with programmers. After the announcement there was a period of internal criticism and debate on the strategic direction and transparency of the foundation.

In April, a broader structural adaptation took place, when EF formalized the division between the board function and executive functions and named two novel executive directors: HSIAO-Wei Wang, longtime researcher Ethereum and Tomasz Stańczyk, general director of the Nethermind infrastructure company.

According to the novel model, the Management Board, which covers Buterin, is designed to determine a long -term vision, and the newly appointed executive team supports operations.
