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

Mars Finance News: Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak posted on X platform, stating that with recent leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation, our goal is to give Vitalik more time for research and exploration, rather than daily coordination or crisis management. Every time Vitalik shares insights or communicates direction, he accelerates significant long-term breakthroughs. His recent articles on RISC-V and zkVM have advanced promising development paths, while his articles on privacy have helped the community realign around the Ethereum Foundation's core values. I want to clearly state that Vitalik's proposals are always influential, but they are intended to initiate dialogue and encourage progress in challenging research areas. Community review may significantly modify proposals or even reject them. We hope other researchers will have the same freedom to boldly 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 remains crucial. Internally at EF, we will shift most of our research efforts towards short-term goals, aiming to address user experience and scalability challenges in the next two protocol upgrades. We are focusing on L1 expansion, L2 expansion support, and major UX improvements in Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam upgrades (including interoperability). Meanwhile, we are exploring how to complete projects currently expected to take three to five years in advance. Papers by our top researchers through initiatives like next-generation execution and consensus layers are helping some projects deliver within one to two years.
