Ethereum stands astatine the borderline of large breakthroughs. zkEVMs person rapidly accelerated, enabling america to rearchitect L1 to simultaneously enactment scale, verifiability, information and censorship-resistance. L2s are hardening, gathering users wherever they are, and anxious to treble down connected utilizing Ethereum arsenic their basal of trust. In short, the satellite is acceptable for the satellite computer.
These important innovations some unlock monolithic benefits for our users and volition let america to onboard many, galore more. The stakes are high: This infinitesimal whitethorn beryllium Ethereum’s champion changeable astatine deploying not lone our technology, but our values, astatine planetary scale.
As a response, we indispensable rethink our existent attack to designing, processing and stewarding the protocol. This process of “shipping protocol” is messy, asking america to respond proactively to demands that are hard to articulate and adjacent harder to fulfill. It is our work to usage our skills to payment the broader community.
Executing connected this mandate volition necessitate a caller level of absorption and collaboration for our group, the Protocol Research & Development teams wrong the EF. This means doubling down connected areas wherever the EF has unsocial domain cognition and heavy expertise unmatched successful our ecosystem: from penning mission-critical code, to publishing breakthrough probe and coordinating ample initiatives.
To enactment this vision, we are making changes to the mode that we operate, re-orienting towards our three strategical goals: scaling the L1, scaling the blobs, and improving UX. Practically, this means restructuring our teams and creating explicit coordination structures astir these strategical goals.
This besides means immoderate members of PR&D won’t beryllium continuing with the Ethereum Foundation. We anticipation these individuals proceed connected successful the Ethereum ecosystem and promote others gathering retired their teams to question them out.
The changes we’re announcing contiguous are a departure from our erstwhile ways of working, but we consciousness these acceptable america connected a much responsive and effectual path. To people the opening of this caller section and structure, we’d similar to reintroduce “Protocol R&D” to the satellite nether a caller name: Protocol.
Strategic initiatives
Over the past year, galore of america concluded that we needed to bash a amended occupation articulating our priorities. In speech with our community, our corporate caput has produced 3 ambitious goals for america to execute successful abbreviated order: scale L1, standard blobs, amended UX. Doing truthful successfully is the astir invaluable enactment we could beryllium doing connected behalf of our community, and it is our work to present connected it.
It is clip for america to guarantee that these goals straight thrust our attraction and assets allocation. Each of these goals is present mapped to a strategic initiative for Protocol, a shared workspace to bring our complementary talents together. We promote each squad successful Protocol to see however their enactment is supporting our execution of these strategical initiatives.
Critical to our execution is the beingness of leaders successful our radical whom the assemblage trusts. We are being much explicit successful assigning leaders to accelerate our strategical initiatives successful bid to summation accountability.
Specifically, the pursuing radical are liable for ensuring the EF executes connected each of its strategical goals:
- Scale L1: Tim Beiko & Ansgar Dietrichs
- Scale L2: Alex Stokes & Francesco D’Amato
- Improve UX: Barnabé Monnot & Josh Rudolf
They volition beryllium supported by Dankrad Feist, who volition enactment arsenic a strategical advisor to each tracks, arsenic good arsenic the leads for the projects defined to determination these goals forward.
You tin find much details connected our 3 strategical initiatives here.
Teams
More than ever, we are required to lick problems bringing the abilities of each Protocol members astatine once. Rapidly transitioning probe into prototypes and to accumulation means that we request tighter collaboration and feedback loops. We person seen many more bridges form across our teams implicit the past years, bringing tangible results. With a shared vision, we indispensable guarantee that our shared location is unthinkable to enactment in.
Being unfastened successful our collaboration with each subordinate of Protocol requires shared expectations and precocious spot that each of america is delivering astatine their highest level. Team leads volition beryllium liable for ensuring that their members conscionable our barroom for method excellence and bask continuous growth, pushing themselves ever further.
Protocol is present a much agreed and leaner enactment with much focused teams. You tin find our updated org illustration here.
Protocol cannot execute everything connected its own. Our ecosystem is made stronger from the enactment of galore different halfway probe and improvement teams, who amplify our ain efforts and bring features to reality. Our relation is not to regenerate these teams, but to acceptable a precocious modular for ourselves successful our enactment with them.
Protocol is driving efforts towards reconfiguring our main governance forums and introducing caller ones. It is captious to proceed eliciting the close signals and translating them into action.
We are looking for caller members to articulation america successful this effort, and go a portion of the larger Ethereum halfway improvement community. Two roles we judge are captious to assistance america lick existent problems for Ethereum users are a UX Lead and Performance Engineering Lead. In summation to these, we invited exceptional applicants who are excited astir our ngo to fto america cognize successful our General Application.
So let’s bash it together. Let’s vessel Protocol.
