Ethereum Foundation Executive Director: Vitalik's proposal is intended to start a dialogue, and community review has the right to veto

Odaily Planet Daily News: Tomasz K. Stańczak, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, said on the X platform that with the recent changes in the leadership of the Ethereum Foundation, our goal is to allow Vitalik to spend more time on research and exploration rather than daily coordination or crisis response. Every time Vitalik shares insights or conveys direction, it accelerates major long-term breakthroughs. His recent articles on RISC-V and zkVM advance promising development paths, while his articles on privacy help the community reunite around the core values ​​of the Ethereum Foundation. I want to make it clear that Vitalik's proposals are always influential, but they are designed to start conversations and encourage progress in difficult research areas. Community reviews may make significant changes to proposals or even reject them. We hope that other researchers will have the same freedom, and they are brave enough to raise difficult questions and propose alternatives, such as @drakefjustin and @dankrad. Ethereum researchers often ask readers to recognize the exploratory nature of their posts and proposals. Focus is still crucial. Within EF, we will turn most of our research efforts to short-term goals, striving to solve user experience and scalability challenges in the next two protocol upgrades. We are focused on L1 scaling, L2 scaling support, and major UX improvements (including interoperability) in the Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam upgrades. At the same time, we are exploring how to deliver projects that are currently expected to be completed in three to five years. Papers from our top researchers are helping some projects deliver in a year or two through initiatives such as next-generation execution and consensus layers.
