Vitalik fires the first shot of "reform": Where is the Ethereum Foundation headed?

On January 18, Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, published a statement indicating that "a large-scale reform of the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation (hereinafter referred to as EF) is underway." The news sparked widespread discussion. Vitalik emphasized that the goals of the reform include improving technical expertise, enhancing communication, and introducing new blood, but do not involve ideological shifts or political lobbying. The main issues faced by EF include a lack of information transparency, insufficient proof of work, and rapid price crashes. The moderate approach of EF's Executive Director, Aya, and the fragmentation of the Ethereum community also became focal points of concern. Solutions include setting aside biases, strengthening communication, and clarifying $ETH's positioning. Whether Vitalik's reforms can succeed remains to be seen over time.
