Last January, Vitalik Buterin announced a deep reshuffle of the Ethereum Foundation. Thus, the objective is to attract new talents as well as to strengthen the technical expertise of the latter. While in February Aya Miyaguchi left his CEO post, the Foundation has just unveiled its new board of directors.
- The Ethereum Foundation has revealed its new board of directors, with Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak appointed as executive co-directors.
- Vitalik Buterin is part of the Board of Directors, a Security Council that protects the fundamental values of the Foundation.
The reshuffle of the Ethereum Foundation is becoming clearer
During the announcement last January, the reshuffle of the Ethereum Foundation had caused a stir. Thus, a question was then on everyone’s lips: who will take over the reins.
Monday, April 28, the Foundation finally revealed her new board of directors. On the one hand, the position of Managing Director will not be held by one, but two people.
Indeed, Hsiao-wei Wang And Tomasz K. Stańczak were both appointed executive co -directors. On the one hand, Hsiao-wei Wang is researcher for the Ethereum Foundation since 2017. She notably participated in the design and implementation of the Beacon Chain and The Merge.
On the other hand, Tomasz K. Stańczak is known to have founded Nethermind in 2017one of the majority customers of Ethereum.
“The appointments of Tomasz and Hsiao-Wei Wang as co-directors are an unconventional decision, but which allows them to complement each other at a time when the Ethereum ecosystem and the foundation are very active. »»
Thus, the foundation seems to apply its desire to strengthen its technical expertise by appointing two co -directors from the world of development.
The latter will be supported by Bastian AUE, responsible for the organizational strategy and Josh Stark in charge of the execution of projects and communication.

In parallel with the board of directors, the Ethereum Foundation also has a board of directors of the Ethereum Foundation. It acts as a « security advice » responsible for protecting essence, fundamental values and long -term vision of the foundation.
It is made up of 4 members:

- Aya Miyaguchito lead the long -term vision of the foundation;
- Patrick Storcheneggerwhich will manage the legal part in Switzerland;
- Hsiao-wei Wangwhich will make the link between the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors.
“The Board of Directors shared with the management team vision, guiding principles and objectives for the coming years. We plan to further strengthen the board of directors in order to better serve its mission over time. »»
Now, the community is impatiently awaiting the first official communications of this new team. Indeed, the Ethereum Foundation was frequently pointed out by part of the community which considered it not very effective.
For its part, the Ethereum network is preparing to deploy a major update. Indeed, the Hard Fork Pectra must be activated on May 7 on the Mainnet.
