Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko tweeted that if we handle it properly, we will remember today as one of the most important turning points in Ethereum's history. The past few months, to put it mildly, have been turbulent. While it is clear that Ethereum needs to succeed, many things need to change, but it is easy to overcompensate and lose its magic in the pursuit of ultimate optimization. This week's announcement makes me believe that we have found the right balance between these two extremes. Tomasz Stanczak is the only person I can imagine joining the Ethereum Foundation from the outside and immediately getting to work to help us accelerate our progress. Hsiao-Wei Wang's deep understanding of how research evolves into standards and ultimately into production clients, as well as her perspective as a long-term EF member, form a unique complement to Tomasz's background. Danny Ryan joins Etherealize, an Ethereum advocacy and product startup, in a co-founding role. This organization will take on the responsibility of driving large-scale adoption of ETH.
