A New Era for the Ethereum Foundation: Dual Leadership and Strategic Transformation
Written by: Sam @IOSG
In March 2025, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a significant leadership change: Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi stepped down from her executive director duties to become the Chair of the foundation; at the same time, Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak were appointed as the new co-executive directors; former EF researcher Danny Ryan joined Etherealize.
Faced with fierce competition, Ethereum is at a transformative moment. This change is not only a personnel adjustment but resembles a strategic game surrounding the future direction of Ethereum. For a long time, Aya has driven Ethereum to build an 'infinite garden' with an idealized vision. However, as market competition intensifies, and issues like high Gas fees and network congestion become apparent, the community has raised many doubts about her conservative resource allocation and cultural promotion strategies. There have even been extreme criticisms and attacks against Aya, prompting Vitalik Buterin to call for calm.
