According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Foundation is facing scrutiny over a new wave of departures. On Monday, prominent contributors Carl Beek and Julian Ma announced their departure from the foundation, further intensifying community concerns about staff turnover.
In recent months, several core researchers and protocol coordinators, including Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, Trent Van Epps, and Alex Stokes, have left or stepped back. Additionally, co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak, who joined in 2025, also left earlier this year.
Reports indicate that this wave of departures occurred after the Ethereum Foundation released a new mission statement earlier this year. The statement attempts to redefine the foundation's role in the ecosystem, emphasizing that it is not the "owner" or central authority of Ethereum, but rather one of many supporters.
