Editor's Note: Ethereum has officially broken through the 3000 mark, leading altcoins and related concept stocks to rise together. More and more U.S. companies and mining firms are turning to purchase Ethereum as a strategic reserve.
At this critical juncture, the Ethereum Foundation is once again restructuring its team. A new team, EcoDev, and other groups are being formed to accelerate the development of the ecosystem.
Will Ethereum get better this time?
The following is the original content (reorganized for better understanding):
Ethereum is at a critical turning point.
Users interested in Ethereum have expanded from tech enthusiasts and professionals to businesses, governments, and ordinary users seeking practical solutions and tangible benefits.
The Ethereum ecosystem is actively adapting to these new demands, and the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is ready to take on the corresponding role to support the ecosystem's development.
As described in the foundation's recent vision, the foundation has two core goals:
· To enable more people (both directly and indirectly) to use Ethereum and ensure they can benefit from Ethereum's core values.
· To maximize Ethereum's resilience in terms of technology and community.
The EcoDev team will drive the realization of these goals at both the ecosystem and societal levels, working to eliminate barriers to Ethereum's real-world applications and help new users integrate into the Ethereum ecosystem.
EcoDev will also support Ethereum communities around the world by providing funding. While guiding the ecosystem's expansion, it will maintain a strong focus on resilience and a human-centered approach.
To better achieve these goals, the foundation is expanding and restructuring EcoDev, focusing on the following four key areas to accelerate ecosystem development.
Ecosystem Acceleration
We aim to closely collaborate with developers, founders, application teams, and businesses using Ethereum to accelerate the ecosystem's development.
To this end, we will form four new teams, each responsible for the following key directions:
· Business Relations: Providing clear resources and tailored guidance to help businesses adopt Ethereum technology more smoothly.
· Developer Growth: Engaging, mentoring, and supporting the next generation of developers on Ethereum.
· Application Relations and Research: Accelerating meaningful, user-focused Ethereum applications.
· Entrepreneur Support: Offering support beyond funding, including feedback, resource connections, operational expertise, and mentorship to help entrepreneurs succeed.
These teams will consist of long-standing foundation members (such as Austin Griffith from the Developer Growth team) and new hires to expand Ethereum's technology and capabilities.
The core of EcoDev's acceleration work lies in closely collaborating with existing networks and community members. Ethereum has a rich ecosystem composed of individuals and organizations, where participants play significant roles in supporting entrepreneurs, developers, applications, and businesses, including Layer 2 projects, accelerators, community events, hackathon organizers, investors, and educators.
Ecosystem Enhancement
Other teams will also help enhance the impact of ecosystem acceleration efforts and community EcoDev work. These teams will help us gain deeper insights and continuously track the growth of the ecosystem, organize targeted activities to support strategic priorities, spread Ethereum's story through media, and leverage new tools and AI to provide stronger support for our work.
In addition to the brand-new EcoDev Automation team, other teams have been optimized and upgraded from existing foundation teams. Specifically, they include:
· Digital Media Studio (formerly the ethereum.org team): As the core engine of innovation and storytelling, responsible for creating rich, engaging articles, videos, publications, and unique visual content that fully showcase Ethereum's potential. Ethereum.org will remain one of the many projects of this team.
· Strategic Events Team: Planning and organizing targeted events, ranging from small gatherings to short-term meetings focused on specific themes.
· "Ethereum Everywhere" Team: Focusing on expanding support for local developer communities.
· EcoDev Automation Team: Optimizing internal operations through smart automation and AI-driven tools to enhance team efficiency and help achieve goals more effectively.
· Devcon/nect Team: Will continue to operate independently, focusing on hosting large annual events like Devcon and Devconnect for the Ethereum ecosystem, directly led by the management team and not included in the new EcoDev structure.
Ecosystem Support
We will continue to maintain three teams specifically responsible for coordinating the funding support needed for various Ethereum ecosystem initiatives while continuously expanding non-financial support:
· ESP/Grant Support Team: Our grants program will undergo significant adjustments, focusing on more targeted applications and non-financial support. This team will assist other foundation teams in advancing grant projects, participate in reviewing some grant applications, and maintain relationships with grantees.
· Strategic Grant Program: Co-funding with key public goods organizations to create value for the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
· Launchpad Team: Assisting in addressing challenges related to operational design, sustainable funding, governance, and more. The Launchpad team supports the foundation's derivative projects, grantees, or other ecosystem organizations to help them overcome developmental challenges.
Ecosystem Expansion
We will continue to advance several long-term initiatives aimed at eliminating barriers to Ethereum adoption globally. These efforts are divided into the following directions:
· Policy Coordination: Closely monitoring global issues related to the Ethereum ecosystem, identifying risks and opportunities where the foundation can provide support, and collaborating with global policy institutions to drive positive outcomes for Ethereum.
· Institutional Liaison: Establishing long-term stable partnerships with government and non-government organizations.
· Academic Collaboration: Promoting collaboration with universities, professors, and students to jointly advance the development of blockchain technology.
Collaborative Efforts Across the Ecosystem
As Ethereum continues to grow, the entire ecosystem requires more effort and support to guide its development. We are excited to contribute in new ways, but we are not doing it alone. We have closely collaborated with a broader ecosystem, including various organizations, companies, startups, event planners, community members, investors, developers, and numerous partners driving Ethereum's development. If you are interested in collaborating with us, feel free to contact James Smith!
The Ethereum ecosystem is always evolving, which means our ecosystem development strategy will also continue to adjust. We will constantly ask: In which areas do we need to step up and accomplish work that no one else can? We will also continue to help other participants enhance their impact within the ecosystem, making the Ethereum ecosystem more resilient over time.
