Ethereum Foundation revamps leadership in 2025, focusing on Layer 1 scaling, Layer 2 UX, and ecosystem growth under new co-directors Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak.
The Ethereum Foundation has introduced a dual-leadership model, appointing Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak as co-executive directors. The strategic move aims to address the demands of 2025 and beyond. This new framework is expected to streamline operations, foster teamwork, and ensure the Foundation's continued success in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.
As part of its technical development strategy for the next year, the Foundation will focus on three main priorities: scaling Ethereum Layer 1, enhancing data-availability solutions through blobs, and improving the user experience across Layer 2 networks.
The performance-focused system outlined by Stańczak included definite objectives that could be quantitatively tracked to monitor progress. Stańczak was appointed to serve for two years to speed up the development of protocol-level scalability and Layer 2 architecture.
Wang performs two duties at the organization including directing operations and building applications from the top layer. She will enhance developer standards and oversee the development of new, production-ready applications based on developer ideas. Due to her board member duties and executive position, she can connect strategic plans with operational outcomes.
Ethereum Foundation Board members posted independently to describe their role as an organization that ensures the foundation's mission is protected and regulatory compliance is maintained. The board member Vitalik Buterin retains his position, although he continues to sustain technical oversight of the organization. Aya Miyaguchi and Patrick Storchenegger represent the other board members in the organization.
The Ethereum Foundation adapted its vision to combine the elements of “resilient infrastructure” with “meaningful Ethereum usage.” Among its new objectives, the Ethereum Foundation’s Vision document introduces support for internet-native finance and decentralized social platforms, and on-chain artificial intelligence. The core principles of Ethereum incorporate decentralization, censorship resistance, open-source development, and user privacy.
The upcoming plan of EF details an expanded involvement of Layer 2s and applications, along with increased communication frequencies at Devcon events and other flagship events. Wang and Stańczak emphasized that Ethereum needs clear management while staying true to its base principles. ETH currently sells at $1,814 since traders expect upcoming software modifications coupled with governance system changes
