ETH Core Contributor Discloses Inside Story of Tomasz's Resignation: Long-Standing Power Struggles Within Ethereum Foundation

Odaily Tin tức: Greg, a core contributor to the Ethereum consensus layer, disclosed the inside story behind the resignation of Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak in a post on platform X. He stated he was not surprised by this event, as long-standing power struggles have existed within the Ethereum Foundation. The organizational inertia of "this is how the Ethereum Foundation does things" made reforms difficult to implement. Over the past year, key figure Vitalik Buterin was absent most of the time, leading to issues within the foundation such as inefficient resource allocation and stalled projects.

The internal reforms promoted by Tomasz Stańczak were not widely accepted, which may have led to his departure. In reality, he possesses deep industry experience, including backgrounds at Nethermind, Flashbots, and in venture capital. Although potential conflicts of interest were disclosed in advance, some community members still had doubts. Furthermore, Tomasz Stańczak genuinely wished to return to technical development, but likely encountered resistance while pushing for reforms at the Ethereum Foundation, forcing him to leave. In the future, there is a need to introduce leadership with genuine commercial experience and decision-making power to drive effective organizational operation.
