TLDR: :rocket: Ethereum Foundation Restructures Protocol R&D Team with Focused Strategic Initiatives

Key Points:

  • :globe_with_meridians: Launching “Protocol” with three strategic goals: scaling L1, scaling blobs, and improving user experience
  • :busts_in_silhouette: Restructuring teams and creating explicit coordination structures
  • :bullseye: Assigned specific leaders for each strategic initiative
  • :handshake: Emphasizing collaboration and high technical excellence

In-depth summary:

The Ethereum Foundation is undergoing a significant transformation in its Protocol Research & Development approach. Recognizing the rapid advancements in technologies like zkEVMs and the growing potential of Ethereum as a “world computer”, the team is reimagining how they design, develop, and steward the protocol.

The restructuring focuses on three key strategic initiatives: scaling the Layer 1 blockchain, scaling blobs, and improving user experience. To achieve these goals, they’ve appointed specific leaders like Tim Beiko and Ansgar Dietrichs for L1 scaling, and created more collaborative, focused teams. This approach aims to more effectively translate research into prototypes and production.

The Foundation acknowledges that they cannot accomplish everything alone and are committed to working closely with the broader Ethereum ecosystem. They’re actively seeking new talent, particularly for roles like UX Lead and Performance Engineering Lead, to help drive their mission forward.

ELI5:

Imagine a big team of computer experts who want to make Ethereum (a special computer network) work better, faster, and easier for everyone. They’re reorganizing their team, setting clear goals, and working together to make these improvements happen.

Writer’s main point:

The Ethereum Foundation is committed to advancing the protocol by focusing on scalability, user experience, and maintaining technical excellence through strategic, collaborative efforts.
