Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ethereum consensus layer core contributor Greg disclosed on X platform the内幕 behind Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak’s resignation. He stated that he was not surprised by this event because the Ethereum Foundation has long been plagued by power struggles, and “this organizational inertia—how the Ethereum Foundation operates”—makes reform difficult to implement. Over the past year, key figure Vitalik Buterin has been largely absent, leading to issues such as resource inefficiency and project stagnation within the foundation.
Tomasz Stańczak’s internal reforms, which he initially promoted, were not widely accepted, potentially leading to his departure. He has extensive industry experience, including backgrounds with Nethermind, Flashbots, and venture capital. Although he disclosed potential conflicts of interest in advance, some community members still questioned this. Additionally, Tomasz Stańczak genuinely hopes to return to technical development, but he likely faced resistance during the Ethereum Foundation’s reform efforts and was forced to leave. Moving forward, it is necessary to introduce leadership with real business experience and decision-making power to promote effective organizational operation.
