Is Ethereum’s development stalling—just as rivals gain speed?
- Ethereum Foundation Hit by Layoffs as Scalability Pressure Mounts
- Urgent restructuring raises red flags amid long-standing scalability issues
Yello, Paradisers! The Ethereum Foundation just announced internal layoffs, restructured core teams, and unveiled a fresh organizational blueprint.
At the heart of the change: scaling delays, user experience frustrations, and mounting criticism from its own community.
Under a dramatic shake-up, the Foundation’s “Protocol Research and Development” team has been dissolved and reborn as simply “Protocol.” And while the name may be simpler, the message behind the move is clear: Ethereum’s core leadership is racing to regain momentum—before its dominance slips away.
What Went Wrong?
For over a year, developers and power users have complained about slow progress on Layer 1 scalability, clunky UX, and confusing upgrade timelines. With rival chains speeding ahead in TPS (transactions per second), Ethereum risks losing its crown unless it acts—fast.
This restructuring includes the removal of unnamed team members, though the Foundation expressed hope they would remain in the Ethereum ecosystem. Still, the lack of transparency on who was let go is making some community members uneasy.
Key leaders—Tim Beiko, Ansgar Dietrichs, Alex Stokes, Francesco D’Amato, Barnabé Monnot, and others—have been tapped to lead scaling and UX improvement missions. And Dankrad Feist has been named strategic advisor across all divisions.
But will it be enough?
Ethereum’s Dominance Under Threat?
Ethereum’s community has long been its greatest strength. But increasingly vocal critics are pointing out the cracks in its development culture and coordination. With rising gas costs, poor onboarding UX, and a fragmented scaling roadmap, pressure has been building. Many are beginning to ask:
“If Ethereum can’t fix itself soon… who will users and developers turn to?”
The Foundation says it is also revamping governance and community input channels, introducing new forums for feedback—an olive branch to the disillusioned.
What This Means for Traders and the Ecosystem
This restructure sends two signals:
- Ethereum leadership knows it’s behind schedule.
- They’re finally doing something about it.
While this move may boost long-term resilience, the short-term uncertainty could create volatility—especially if investors fear stagnation during a critical growth phase for rival blockchains.
