Vitalik: Only I can decide on the new EF leadership team; sustained community pressure would create an extremely harmful environment for attracting top talent

BlockBeats News, January 21st, Vitalik posted on a social platform stating, "The person deciding the new leadership team of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is me. One of the current reform goals is to establish a 'formal board' for the EF, but until then, decision-making power lies with me.

If you 'keep up the pressure,' then you are actually creating a highly toxic environment for top talent. Recently, some of Ethereum's finest developers have privately messaged me, expressing their dissatisfaction with the social media environment, an environment created by people like you.

You are making my job even more difficult. At the same time, this also makes me less likely to have any interest in 'doing as you wish.'"

At the end of the tweet, Vitalik posted a series of users he considers to be 'Pure evil,' including @0xsaitama_, @ConanOCrying, and others.

Previously, the community had called for the promotion of Ethereum Foundation researcher Danny Ryan, and on September 14, 2024, Danny Ryan announced his resignation, ending his seven-year contribution to the Ethereum ecosystem.
