Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin says the non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the leading smart contract platform is making big changes to its leadership structure.
In a post on social media platform X, Buterin says the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has been going through the process for nearly a year now to achieve five primary goals.
He says the organization wants to improve the level of technical expertise within its leadership, improve communication and relationships with users and developers and bring in fresh talent to improve efficiency and speed.
The ETH co-creator adds that the Ethereum Foundation also wants to become more supportive of app builders and be protective of users’ values and rights while continuing to accelerate the use of decentralized and privacy-centric technologies and the Ethereum chain for payments and treasury management.
“I think that EF should be more willing to use tools built in the ecosystem (including in decentralized finance) even if it means we’re not entirely neutral in that sense. Though we should of course do this very judiciously.”
He also warns against those pushing for agendas that don’t align with the EF, including lobbying regulators and political figures, which he says could compromise Ethereum’s position as a global neutral platform.
“These things aren’t what EF does and this isn’t going to change. People seeking a different vision are welcome to start their own organizations.”
