According to Wu, Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will transition into a smaller-scale, more long-term-oriented organization with a clearer stance. It will no longer act as the 'center' of the Ethereum ecosystem but rather exist as a node with specific responsibilities. Given EF's limited resources and its holding of only about 0.16% of ETH, its focus will shift to core areas like censorship resistance, anti-capture, openness, privacy, and security, rather than broadly taking on ecosystem-building functions. Vitalik believes Ethereum should not solely pursue extreme TPS and low latency but should instead develop differentiated advantages in CROPS dimensions, such as formal verification, stronger consensus security, and reduced reliance on intermediaries. These goals are not in conflict with scaling, Layer 2 solutions, and lower slot times. He also mentioned that ETH is Ethereum's most financially valuable product, but some work supporting ETH as an asset falls outside EF's scope and will require collaboration from other organizations within the ecosystem. https://(wublock123.com)/news/vitalik-ef-shifts-to-smaller-team-focus-on-ethereum-censorship-privacy-security-61594
