Ethereum Foundation (EF) executive director Aya Miyaguchi will step down from her current role and transition into a new position as the foundation's president amid a revamp of its leadership structure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Miyaguchi announced the change in a Feb. 25<\/span> statement<\/a><\/strong> and said a new governance model is expected soon.\u00a0<\/span>She added that her new role as president will focus on strengthening institutional relationships and expanding Ethereum\u2019s (ETH<\/a>) broader vision and culture. <\/span><\/p>\n

She described the transition as an opportunity to reflect on Ethereum\u2019s decentralized ethos, especially in light of recent debates surrounding the network\u2019s performance and ETH\u2019s market value.<\/span><\/p>\n

She added that Ethereum\u2019s strength lies in its permissionless nature, where open discourse contributes to resilience rather than division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitalik Buterin<\/a>, Ethereum\u2019s co-founder, acknowledged<\/a> Miyaguchi\u2019s contributions during her tenure, emphasizing her role in fostering an environment conducive to innovation. He shared on X:<\/span><\/p>\n

“As I see it, the role of an ED is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work, and so every success of the EF – the steady execution of Ethereum hard forks, client interop workshops, Devcon, Ethereum's culture and steadfast commitment to its mission and values, and more – is in part a result of Aya's stewardship.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Independent from entities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Miyaguchi reaffirmed that the foundation's role is not to exert control over Ethereum but to uphold its principles of credible neutrality. <\/span><\/p>\n

She emphasized the organization\u2019s philosophy of subtraction, a design approach that seeks to reduce systemic imbalances rather than impose rigid structures. This <\/span>strategy has guided the foundation's decision-making process and helped ensure that Ethereum remains decentralized and adaptable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key examples of this philosophy in action include the \u201cAll Core Dev\u201d calls to enable community-driven technical decision-making, promoting client diversity to mitigate single points of failure, and facilitating research and development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the foundation coordinated The Merge, Ethereum\u2019s transition to proof of stake, as a decentralized and collaborative effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miyaguchi assessed that Ethereum operates through a decentralized leadership model, mainly through events like Devcon and Devconnect, which are gatherings to drive progress in their respective ecosystems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this landscape, EF\u2019s approach prioritizes nurturing leadership across diverse communities, fostering organic collaboration without centralized oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also noted that Ethereum\u2019s continued success hinges on its ability to adapt without resembling traditional corporate structures. The EF\u2019s strategic focus has shifted from direct execution to broader facilitation, ensuring that Ethereum\u2019s growth remains aligned with its decentralized principles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pressure over ETH's performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based on CryptoSlate data, Ethereum climbed 42% in 2024, but its performance was heavily overshadowed by Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC<\/a>) and Solana's (SOL<\/a>), which climbed 112% and 73%, respectively, during the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ethereum Foundation has faced criticism for ETH's underperformance due to its constant sales on public trading platforms. As of Jan. 27, EF had<\/span> sold nearly $1 million<\/a><\/strong> in ETH via three different transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the community\u2019s concerns, the foundation<\/span>\u00a0allocated 50,000 ETH<\/a><\/strong> to different decentralized applications to earn yields based on their treasury instead of selling their Ether stash as part of their new management model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miyaguchi also received criticism for allegedly failing to sufficiently foster Ethereum\u2019s growth, which contributed to its underperformance in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
