Ethereum core developer Eric Conner quits the Ethereum community: I hope Ethereum will succeed, good luck

Odaily News Eric Conner, an early Ethereum developer, posted on X: “I am no longer a member of .eth (Ethereum domain name). Maybe one day those leaders will re-align with the community, but for now, I have left. Deep down, I really hope that Ethereum can succeed. Good luck.”
In addition, Conner also stated: "My passion is entirely in the potential of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. I believe that encryption is necessary for a future involving open, trustworthy and fair artificial intelligence, in which humans do not lose autonomy. We need to build the tools and infrastructure to ensure this future, and I will focus my time on this for the time being."

Yesterday, Eric Conner posted on the X platform that as Vitalik Buterin gradually retreated behind the scenes, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) became more and more opaque and out of touch with the community. He pointed out that EF currently presents an "anti-victory and competitive mentality", which has caused many community members to question whether to stay.
