Core Members of Ethereum Foundation Stage Mass Exodus: 'Decentralization' or 'Dissolution'?

In April-May 2026, at least six core members, including key engineers and researchers, departed from the Ethereum Foundation (EF). This followed the earlier exit of co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak. High-profile leavers included long-time contributors from the Protocol Cluster and the "Trillion Dollar Security Initiative." EF framed the departures as part of its "Mandate" restructuring aimed at reducing its central role. However, community concerns grew as core developer numbers fell from 225 in May 2025 to 169 in May 2026, though a recent one-month rebound of 63% was noted. ETH holdings in the EF treasury also decreased. Despite the leadership flux, Ethereum's overall developer activity remains substantial, with nearly 10,000 active ecosystem developers. The departures have sparked discussions about EF's future direction, coordination, and the practical meaning of decentralization for Ethereum, which faces challenges like price declines and project security concerns while aspiring to be a global financial infrastructure layer.

Summary of Kevin Warsh's Past Remarks: How Will This Prospective 'New Head' Upend the Fed?

Kevin Warsh, nominated by President Trump to replace Fed Chair Powell, is poised to introduce sweeping reforms at the Federal Reserve. His agenda includes structural changes, advocating for lower policy rates, a fundamentally new approach to inflation, a significantly smaller balance sheet, safeguarding Fed independence, narrowing the Fed’s mandate, improving coordination with the Treasury, and reducing communication “noise” from policymakers. Warsh has criticized current monetary policy as “broken” and called for “fundamental regime change,” arguing that continuity is meaningless when the Fed has lost credibility. He believes interest rates should be lower and that a smaller balance sheet would help achieve that, describing the current one as “multiple trillions of dollars larger than necessary.” On inflation, he attributes its rise to cognitive errors at the Fed—including overreliance on flawed models, neglect of money supply, and blaming external factors rather than excessive government spending. He also suggests AI could lead to a structural decline in prices. He strongly defends Fed independence as its “most important asset” and warns against mission creep, which he says risks its core objectives and increases political vulnerability. He proposes closer coordination with the Treasury to align balance sheet and debt issuance plans, clarifying expectations for markets. Regarding communication, Warsh supports transparency but criticizes the current “cacophony of voices” and “forward guidance” that creates ambiguity. He has urged Fed officials to speak less frequently to avoid market confusion.

Setting a 'Suicidal' Rule for Themselves: What Is the Ethereum Foundation Aiming For?

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has released a new mission statement, "EF Mandate," outlining its core philosophy and operational principles. Its ultimate goal is to pass the "walkaway test"—ensuring the Ethereum network would continue to function perfectly even if the EF were to dissolve. The foundation defines its role as a guardian, not a ruler, and commits to a "subtraction philosophy," focusing only on essential tasks like core protocol development and long-term research that others in the ecosystem cannot or will not do. It explicitly states what it will not do: act as a kingmaker, rating agency, marketing firm, or encourage Ethereum's use as a "casino." A key framework is CROPS, an indivisible set of non-negotiable principles for all development: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security. The vision is to create a "digital sanctuary" for the next 1,000 years, protecting users from coercion by governments, corporations, or AI, and enabling self-sovereignty over data, identity, and assets. The document serves as a decision-making algorithm, prioritizing long-term, decentralized solutions over short-term convenience and user autonomy over paternalistic protection. However, it faces real-world challenges, including budget dependency on ETH's price and potential trade-offs between its idealistic CROPS principles and user demands for speed and low cost. Community reaction is mixed, with critics calling it ideologically rigid and out of touch with practical applications like stablecoins and RWA, while supporters see it as a necessary commitment to Ethereum's foundational values. Vitalik Buterin clarified that the mandate represents a direction the EF has been moving toward for months.
