Announcing Protocol

The Ethereum Foundation is at a pivotal moment, with significant advancements in zkEVMs and Layer 2 solutions positioning Ethereum as a global computing platform. To capitalize on this opportunity, the Ethereum Foundation is restructuring its Protocol Research & Development teams to better align with its strategic goals of scaling Layer 1, scaling blobs, and improving user experience. This restructuring involves a more focused and collaborative approach, with explicit coordination structures and designated leaders for each strategic initiative. The rebranded "Protocol" aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in developing and stewarding the Ethereum protocol.
