Ethereum is locked onto 3 targets within 12 months: Detailed explanation from EF

The Ethereum Foundation announced its new management and board structure today through two separate statements, outlining its goals. Thus, the appointment of Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak as "co-executive directors" of the foundation has been formalized.

12-month targets

In the next 12 months, Stańczak and Hsiao-Wei will focus on the scaling of the Ethereum mainnet (mainnet) and the development of the ‘blob’ structure for storing transaction data. Additionally, interoperability of Layer 2 (Layer 2) and improvements in user experience at the application layer will also be among their priorities.

The goal is to maximize the number of people using Ethereum.

In a separate joint statement written by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and former executive director of the foundation Aya Miyaguchi, the main objectives were also addressed.

It was stated that the primary goal is to increase the number of people using Ethereum to its highest point. In this context, it was conveyed as follows:

• Internet-based financial access: The use of tokenized assets or DeFi solutions on Ethereum by individuals for payments, savings, and wealth creation—especially in regions where the fiat currency infrastructure is limited, unreliable, or exorbitant fees are charged, or in situations where today's seemingly reliable infrastructures may become unreliable tomorrow.
• Internet-based organizations: Participation in DAOs that operate with programmable incentive structures enabling coordination, decision-making, and capital formation models for people.
• Decentralized social media: People using an Ethereum-based social media platform where content is stored on a decentralized network.
• Decentralized artificial intelligence: Training and deploying artificial intelligence models with verifiable security systems on Ethereum. Additionally, creating economic frameworks through Ethereum that enable coordination between artificial intelligence applications, such as micro prediction markets, and between them and humans.
• Corporate benefits: Individuals interact with a corporate application using Ethereum in the background.

Another main goal is to improve the technical and social infrastructure resilience of Ethereum to the best level.

The other main objective was stated as improving the resilience of Ethereum's technical and social infrastructure to the highest level. The goals in this regard were stated as follows:

• Ecosystem autonomy: The ecosystem's ability to develop independently of the Ethereum Foundation or any organization.
• Value alignment: Not compromising on the fundamental values of Ethereum.
• Team diversity: The strength and plurality of independent developer teams.
• Network robustness: The network's ability to maintain its vitality, censorship resistance, and security even in the face of significant adverse events at fundamental layers such as the operating system, hardware, or internet level.
• Decentralization: Eliminating single points of control or failure.
• Proactive risk management: The ability of the ecosystem to proactively identify and mitigate central risk points that may emerge over time.

In the statement, it was emphasized that Ethereum is seen not only as a technology but also as a living ecosystem with the potential to serve humanity for generations to come, and it was stated as follows:

"The existence of Ethereum as a resilient and neutral platform for global coordination requires the preservation of decentralization in development and governance processes. We envision a future where creativity flourishes at every level, and communities around the world can produce their own adaptable solutions. We believe that the technical and social resilience of the network will continue to strengthen, and as the Ethereum Foundation, we will do our utmost in line with our vision and capabilities to achieve success together."
