The Ethereum Foundation has undergone a restructuring, resulting in Vitalik Buterin stepping back from daily operations to focus on research and innovation.
Shift Towards Deeper Research
As a result of these changes, Vitalik Buterin will now focus more on aspects such as RISC-V and zkVM. These research areas could serve as the foundation for Ethereum's next-generation architecture.
Cultural Shift and Community Involvement
With Buterin transitioning to a more conceptual role, the Ethereum community is expected to take a more active role in vetting and refining proposals, aligning with the idea of decentralization.
Technical Roadmap and Updates
The Foundation's current focus remains on Layer 1 scalability and the adoption of Layer 2 solutions. Upcoming updates codenamed Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam are expected to enhance compatibility and speed of interactions across the network.
The renewed focus on scientific exploration and community involvement may lead to the creation of a more resilient and autonomous Ethereum network.
