BlockBeats news, on January 22, Ethereum core developer Eric Conner posted on social media, 'I am no longer '.eth'. Perhaps one day, those in leadership roles will realign with the community, but for now, I have stepped back. Deep down, I sincerely hope Ethereum succeeds. Good luck.'
Previously, Eric stated that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has increasingly been perceived as opaque and disconnected from the community. The foundation could have cut its budget by 80%, allowing Ethereum to operate and develop normally. The problem is that the current foundation does not report to stakeholders, is gradually sinking into a quagmire, and is resisting change. The foundation currently exhibits an 'anti-victory and competitive mindset', which has led many community members to question whether to stay.
