Excited to announce this evolution of Protocol, the @ethereumfndn teams stewarding, researching and developing the Ethereum protocol. After our re-launch of Protocol in June last year, @TimBeiko, @ralexstokes and I are now passing the torch to our talented colleagues @corcoranwill @kevaundray and @fredrik0x. They are taking on the task of delivering on Scaling, UX and Hardness objectives, with the protocol strawmap in their pocket ( --- It is also time to announce that I made the decision to leave the Ethereum Foundation, my home for the past 6.5 years ❤️ I am so grateful for this opportunity I had, to work with amazing individuals, on the most impactful project there is. Looking back from when I started (here it is -> it has been a wild ride from early EIP-1559 work, to the Merge, to MEV markets, to staking, finality, interoperability and UX; and from my beginnings in the Robust Incentives Group to co-leading Protocol for the past year. Over this past year, our Protocol priorities, particularly our "Improve UX" work, shifted my attention to nearer-term questions. Throughout, I've been excited to take on a more product-centric view. Making Ethereum's unique features more available to users today is on my mind; so is participating in the plurality of ways that Ethereum gets built. I'd love to hear from friends old and new about what excites them at the moment, and share where I'm at. Please reach out!
