Change at the Ethereum Foundation

Aya Miyaguchi announced her transition to a new role at the Ethereum Foundation. She is no longer serving as the Executive Director and will now be the President of the foundation, marking a significant step in transforming the altcoin leader.

I thank everyone who has been part of my journey over the past seven years and those who encouraged me to stay true to myself. Growing EF and supporting Ethereum often required unconventional approaches and decisions that challenged traditional corporate wisdom. I am deeply grateful to those who inspired me to stay bold and trust that pursuing our values will light the path forward.Aya Miyaguchi

Aya Miyaguchi's Role and Achievements

Vitalik Buterin congratulated Aya on her new appointment, noting that during her seven-year term, the foundation achieved significant success. Vitalik believes that the role of an Executive Director is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work.

During her seven years as Executive Director, EF accomplished a lot. I believe that the role of an ED is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work. Therefore, every success of EF – from the stable execution of Ethereum hard forks to client interoperability workshops, Devcon, and the steadfast commitment to Ethereum’s culture, mission, and values – is partly a result of Aya’s leadership.Vitalik Buterin

Vitalik Buterin also announced that a new management structure will be revealed soon. This change promises to bring a new wave of energy and motivation for the foundation's further development.

The changes in Ethereum Foundation's leadership symbolize a new phase in the foundation's development and mission. The new leadership is expected to bring fresh ideas and continue to uphold the values that make Ethereum unique.
