### Ethereum Foundation Reform#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a major transformation, a process that has been underway for nearly a year. The goals of the reform include improving the leadership's technical capabilities, enhancing two-way communication with various stakeholders in the ecosystem (including users, application developers, wallets, and L2s), strengthening execution and speed, attracting new talent, actively supporting application developers, and ensuring the implementation of core values such as privacy, open source, and censorship resistance at the application level. Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the EF will not pursue an ideological shift, nor will it excessively lobby regulators or political figures, and it will absolutely not become an arena for interest groups. The community calls on the EF to place more emphasis on technical talent and strengthen its ties with the ecosystem to address the challenges posed by competitors such as Solana. Some believe that the EF should more actively support innovative forces and utilize tools built within the ecosystem, such as DeFi. However, others argue that the EF should not be directly involved in lobbying, but rather should be community-led. Overall, the goal of the Ethereum Foundation reform is to better support the development of the Ethereum ecosystem and ensure Ethereum's position as a global neutral platform.
