Jan 18, 2025, 03:22 PM

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, announced that the Ethereum Foundation is undergoing significant changes to its leadership structure, a process that has been ongoing for close to a year. Some changes have already been implemented and made public, while others are still in progress. The leadership overhaul comes amid widespread criticism of the Foundation. Buterin also outlined certain 'non-goals' for the organization, emphasizing that they do not intend to 'execute some kind of ideological pivot from feminized WEF soyboy mentality to bronze age mindset' or to 'start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures,' particularly in the United States. He underscored the importance of maintaining Ethereum's neutrality.
