On June 7th, Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin stated that the recent controversies surrounding the Ethereum Foundation's (EF) budget cuts, staff departures, and leadership adjustments do not mean the organization is in crisis, but rather a necessary evolution in its development process. The Ethereum Foundation should focus on maintaining the core network technology and values, preserving a "trustworthy and neutral" position, while responsibilities such as ecosystem expansion, institutional collaboration, and commercialization should be handled by other organizations to avoid potential conflicts of interest between protocol development and commercial interests.

In response to external doubts about the direction of the foundation's reforms, Lubin said that many criticisms stem from misunderstandings about the foundation's role. He pointed out that the Ethereum Foundation is promoting a further separation between protocol governance and commercial operations, and that the future Ethereum ecosystem will not be dominated by a single entity, but rather by multiple organizations each responsible for ecosystem development in different areas, jointly driving network growth. This model differs from some blockchain projects that concentrate protocol development and business strategy within the same entity, aligning more with Ethereum's decentralized development philosophy.

Regarding market claims that "Ethereum is declining," Lubin denied these assertions. He explained that in recent years, artificial intelligence has replaced the crypto industry as the most discussed technological narrative in capital markets, leading to shifts in funding and investment focus. However, this does not mean Ethereum has lost competitiveness. On the contrary, after years of scaling and infrastructure development, Ethereum is gradually capable of supporting the next wave of large-scale adoption and is expected to enter a new growth cycle in the future. #分享美股交易赢英伟达股票
