Ethereum Developer: Ethereum Foundation is gradually becoming disconnected from the community, but still hopes it can ultimately succeed

BlockBeats News, January 21st, Ethereum early developer Eric Conner posted on x saying, I believe Vitalik is a genius and a great wartime leader who will let the core developer meeting be held autonomously and intervene when necessary, sticking to the long-term vision. However, the opacity of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and its growing disconnect with the community are becoming stronger. The Foundation could have cut its budget by 80%, and Ethereum would run and develop normally as a result. The problem is that the current Foundation does not report to stakeholders, is gradually bogged down, and is resistant to change. The Foundation is currently exhibiting a "anti-victory and competitive mindset," leading many community members to question whether they should continue to stay.

Eric stated that leadership, culture, and community are all important, but currently, the EF no longer understands the community's call for change. As an early participant in the Ethereum ecosystem and one of the founders of Ethhub, Eric said that he may have lost his passion for Ethereum, but still hopes that Ethereum will succeed.
