Ethereum Foundation's reform is criticized as 'old wine in a new bottle,' Vitalik Buterin admits failure to female fans: needs young blood, OG is tired.

The Ethereum Foundation, which faced pressure from the public opinion a while ago, announced a series of reforms and personnel changes this week. But the community seems to have reacted bifurcated, failing to eliminate the large number of negative comments... Vitalik posted that Ethereum needs a large number of young people who share the same cryptopunk vision. All OGs are tired of it. (Synopsis: Vitalik overhauls Ethereum Foundation: Aya Miyaguchi becomes new chairman!) The community reaction is polarized) (Background supplement: The community forced the Ethereum Foundation director to step down, Vitalik exploded: the decision is in my hands, outsiders shut up) Due to the continued sluggish performance of the Ethereum coin price in this market cycle, coupled with the Ethereum Foundation (EF) continuously dumping and failing to effectively promote ecological innovation, the community's dissatisfaction with the Ethereum Foundation broke out, forcing the former executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, Aya The sound of Miyaguchi stepping down. Faced with huge community pressure and Ethereum's internal and external troubles, Ethereum co-founder "V God" Vitalik Buterin announced in January that he would make a major overhaul of the Ethereum Foundation's leadership structure. This week, the Ethereum Foundation finally announced a series of reforms and personnel changes. But the community seems to have reacted bifurcated, and has not been able to dispel the negative criticism. The price of ETH has also improved significantly in recent days. Ethereum Foundation Aya Miyaguchi "promoted" chairman, bombarded without changing medicine Aya Miyaguchi announced in a statement on the 25th that she will change from executive director of the Ethereum Foundation to chairman, she focuses on strengthening the foundation's institutional relationships, and re-examines Ethereum's Decentralization spirit, especially under the recent discussion about network performance and the market value of ETH. Ethereum's strength lies in its permissionless nature, and open discussion promotes system resilience rather than fragmentation. Her "promotion" was affirmed by Vitalik. But there are still many members of the Ethereum community who have made this decision: "So everyone wants her to go, but you give her a promotion?" "Isn't no one liking her?" You still let her be the chairman? ETH is finished". Demir C Labs partners wrote earlier that many OGs in the community questioned the change as a "change of soup without changing medicine", and failed to completely solve the problem of inefficiency of the foundation or insufficient communication with the community. He also compared Miyaguchi's credentials to Lily, president of the Solana Foundation. Miyaguchi has been advocating for women and minorities to participate in the development of Block chain technology, changing Ethereum from POW to POS for environmental protection, and encouraging an inclusive non-competitive cauldron atmosphere. As a result, she has always been considered a typical "white left" style, resulting in Ethereum full of formalism and waste of resources, rather than focusing on core technological progress. Some people also believe that although the two new executive directors are still nominally led by the chairman of Miyaguchi Aya, who has been a high school female teacher for ten years, she is actually promoted and relegated to the second line.

Officially, Wang Xiaowei has been a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation for seven years, has worked in multiple research fields, and is a key contributor to the Ethereum beacon chain. She is also actively involved in community building, holding high-quality and successful events with the Ethereum community in Taiwan. Tomasz Stańczak led the team to build the executive client Nethermind, which has grown to become one of the largest clients in the Ethereum ecosystem and successfully expanded from a project to a thriving global company. The foundation predicts that under the leadership of two new executive directors, "over the next few years, the Ethereum ecosystem will undergo a challenging transformation from an early-stage project serving a few enthusiasts to a robust, permissionless, censorship-resistant global financial and software stack foundation." Hsiao-Wei Wang (left) and Tomasz Stańczak (right) The Silviculture Society on Friday announced the establishment of the "Silviculture Society," a group of personal advisors from outside EF to provide informal advice to the Foundation to ensure that it maintains Open Source, privacy, and The core values of security and censorship resistance. The group is currently made up of 15 Block Chain experts from diverse backgrounds, including Golem Foundation co-founder Julian Zawistowski and cryptography professor Matthew Green, who are known to serve one-year terms and receive no salary. But looking at the comments below, most of the community doesn't seem to be buying it, questioning that EF hasn't explained why it chose these people as outside consultants. Some netizens lamented: I hope EF can have less "gardening" (satirizing Silviculture's forestry) and more architecture. ETH needs leadership, not poetry. At the moment, it's actually sad. V: Ethereum needs a lot of young new blood with a cryptopunk vision On the other hand, Danny Ryan, a former EF researcher who announced his departure last September and has been contributing to Ethereum for 7 years, also announced his return to the Ethereum ecosystem, and he will help the real world join Ethereum as a co-founder of Etherealize . Ryan, who served as the lead coordinator for Ethereum The Merge (merger) upgrade, transitioned from PoW to PoS network, and oversaw the launch of the beacon chain in 2021, also contributed a lot to the progress update of Ethereum improvement proposals, so his return is exciting for the Ethereum community. While welcoming Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak to new roles and the return of Danny Ryan, V also lamented the midlife crisis, saying that the Ethereum community desperately needs young people to join: Ethereum needs a large number of young people who share the same cypherpunk vision. All OGs are tired of it. Now it's the next generation. What Ethereum needs is a lot of young blood who shared the cypherpunk vision. All OGs are jaded. It’s on the next generation now. — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) March 1, 2025 CryptoQuant Founder: Ethereum may have internal problems, the team or distrust the leadership In response to V God's frank statement that Ethereum needs to be injected with young blood, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young...
