The Ethereum Foundation is undergoing a significant leadership transition. The Foundation’s longtime Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi has announced that she will be transitioning to a new role as President of the Ethereum Foundation.
In a message to the community, Miyaguchi said he will continue to support Ethereum’s spirit of decentralization and the foundation’s long-term vision. At the same time, he gave important messages about the future of Ethereum and emphasized that the foundation should play a guiding role, rather than controlling its impact on the ecosystem.
The Importance of Role Change at the Ethereum Foundation
Aya Miyaguchi has been a key figure at the Ethereum Foundation since 2018, contributing to the growth and development of the ecosystem. With her new role as chair, she said she will focus on expanding Ethereum’s cultural and institutional relationships.
Highlights of Miyaguchi’s statements:
- That Ethereum belongs to everyone because it belongs to no one
- The foundation should be positioned as a guiding structure, not a central power
- Ethereum needs to evolve like an organic ecosystem, not a corporate company, to maintain its long-term sustainability
The Future of Ethereum and the Role of the Foundation
Miyaguchi emphasized that Ethereum should develop as an open and decentralized system, not like a company. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining the organic structure of the ecosystem, saying , “Ethereum grows like a garden, not like a machine.”
Stating that the Ethereum Foundation will continue to maintain the balance between core developers, researchers, Layer-2 projects and global communities, Miyaguchi stated that the foundation should prioritize protecting Ethereum’s values.
New Era Begins at the Ethereum Foundation
This leadership change could be a critical turning point in how the Ethereum Foundation shapes its future strategies. With Miyaguchi’s new role as chair, the foundation aims to build a broader global footprint and support decentralized finance (DeFi), scalability and community initiatives.
As an important transition period begins for the Ethereum ecosystem, the foundation’s new strategies and Miyaguchi’s vision for the presidency are eagerly awaited by the community.
