🔧 Ethereum Foundation Restructures Core Team, Cuts Staff in 'Protocol' Division Overhaul
The Ethereum Foundation has officially restructured its internal operations, particularly within its Core Developers division, which has now been renamed simply “Protocol.”
> “We need to rethink our current approach to designing, building, and stewarding the protocol. This means some members of the PR&D team will not be continuing with the Ethereum Foundation,” the official report stated.
The Protocol division focuses on critical areas including:
Scaling Layer 1
Enhancing blob scalability
Improving user experience across the Ethereum network
The restructuring aims to create a simpler, more coherent coordination model that can support the growing needs of Ethereum’s ecosystem.
💡 Why it matters: These changes are designed to align the Foundation's structure with Ethereum’s evolving priorities, ensuring that innovation in scalability and UX delivers tangible benefits to users—from core developers to the global community.
