Jan 18, 2025, 03:29 PM

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has announced that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing significant changes to its leadership structure, a process that has been ongoing for nearly a year. Some of these changes have already been implemented and made public, while others are still in progress. The overhaul comes in response to widespread criticism of the foundation's management. Buterin emphasized that the EF will not engage in active lobbying of regulators and powerful politicians, particularly in the United States, to maintain Ethereum's stance as a global neutral platform. Instead, the foundation aims to focus on improving its advocacy and communications to better educate governments about Ethereum and its technology.
