The management team features Bastian Aue, who will concentrate on organizational strategy, and Josh Stark, who will oversee project execution and communications.

Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak were appointed as co-executive directors on March 2, 2025, with their roles commencing on April 28, 2025, for a term of two years for Stańczak.

Buterin will continue to provide technical guidance, while Miyaguchi will oversee the foundation's vision and external relationships, and Storchenegger will manage legal and compliance matters.

Over the next 12 months, the foundation aims to focus on three main areas: scaling the Ethereum layer 1, improving layer 2 blob scaling, and enhancing user experience.

In response to criticism regarding its engagement in decentralized finance innovation, the Ethereum Foundation has increased its involvement in the Ethereum ecosystem.

To tackle Ethereum's scaling challenges, proposals have been introduced under Ethereum Improvement Proposals-9678 and 9698, which aim to raise the gas limit and increase transaction throughput.

The board's decision to select Wang and Stańczak as executive directors was considered unconventional, granting them the authority to terminate their positions if necessary.

The Ethereum Foundation has restructured its leadership by separating the board of directors from the management team, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and strategic execution.

The newly formed board includes Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, President Aya Miyaguchi, Swiss counsel Patrick Storchenegger, and Hsiao-Wei Wang, who will act as a liaison between the board and management.

This board will serve as a 'security council' to protect the foundation's core principles and set the strategic vision for Ethereum, while the management team focuses on implementing these strategies.
