Two researchers from the Ethereum Foundation announced their resignations

Odaily Odaily reports that Ethereum Foundation researchers Carl Beek and Julian Ma announced their resignations on Monday. Carl Beek chose to leave after seven years of service, with his last working day being May 29. Julian Ma announced his resignation after approximately four years of service.

Previously, the foundation has seen multiple executives and researchers leave, including co-Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak who departed in February, Josh Stark who left in March, and Protocol team leads Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, and Alex Stokes who announced their resignations earlier this month.

The Ethereum Foundation underwent a major restructuring in 2025 to address community criticism, and has recently sparked controversy over events such as requiring employees to sign loyalty pledges.
