The Ethereum non-profit R&D organization Ethlabs released a FAQ, stating that it has a complementary and collaborative relationship with the Ethereum Foundation (EF), rather than a competitive one. Ethlabs said its work will focus on three major directions: Chain, Platform, and Growth, with key priorities including L1 scaling, Blob scaling, cross-L2 interoperability, the EVM roadmap, and institutional adoption. The organization also stated that Ethereum and ETH must succeed together, and revealed that it has already secured funding commitments sufficient to support 2–3 years of operations, though it has not disclosed the specific funding scale.

Institutions choosing this direction well—what DeFi lacks now is a compliant entry point.

The three directions of Chain, Platform, and Growth sound like taking over the dirty and tiring work that EF doesn't have the energy for.

Complementary rather than competitive, this positioning is quite clever. Looking forward to the actual output of Ethlabs in L1 scaling.

Another entity in the Ethereum ecosystem, hope it doesn't become another ivory tower.

2-3 year funding commitment, no amount disclosed, probably still in discussion.

Blob scaling and cross-L2 interoperability, if these two can be connected, user experience could improve significantly.
