Odaily Odaily News: Ethereum core developer Eric.eth wrote on X: "Ethereum still needs great leaders, especially in the ever-changing competitive landscape of cryptocurrencies. It is too early to implement a subtractive, opaque leadership approach. I would rather Vitalik remain the leader of Ethereum than slowly retreat behind the scenes over the years. It was his early leadership that brought us to where we are today. The chain can be decentralized, but that doesn't mean leadership should also be decentralized."
