Innovator's Dilemma solved? --> Announcing our Ambidextrous Organisations Acceleration Initiative (expression of interest form at the end of our article (see comments 👇🖖)) Clayton Christensen proved that great companies die because they can't explore and exploit at the same time. That was 1997. Since then, 90% of large organisations understood the problem. Almost none solved it. Why? Because you can't execute with predictability on what you can't measure. Ambidexterity most of the times has been a strategy slide. A McKinsey buzzword. A CEO keynote topic. But very rarely operationalized on all organisational levels. This will change. We are announcing AOA — Ambidextrous Organisation Acceleration. It aims to make ambidexterity visible, measurable, and actionable. Across all organisational scales (Individual, Team, Business Unit, Organisation, Governance, Ecosystem) and four universal levers: Leadership, Networks, Culture and Psychological Safety. Building on 30+ years of research from Harvard, MIT, Stanford, LMU Munich, INSEAD, and Wharton. Powered by cross-organisational and privacy-preserving People Data Collaboration. The Innovator's Dilemma is not anymore about a lack of ideas. Now it is about execution, measurement systems and researcher-to-practitioner-feedback-loops. Let's accelerate Ambidextrous Organisational Enterprise and Institutional Execution at scale. Read our article (link in the comments 👇) and express your interest to particiapte in the initiative (expression of interest form at the end of the article 🖖). #InnovatorsDilemma #Ambidexterity #PeopleDataCollaboration #PeopleAnalytics @TapirXyz

🇺🇸Jensen Huang is out there living his best life, dancing at the NVIDIA all-employee celebration event in Taipei, Taiwan You'd never guess he's the CEO 😂

@LoganJastremski Not every asset has revenues.

It's crazy to me that someone coming from the Wall Street chops like BlackRock is ignoring the elephant in the room You have a ~250B asset with minimal revenues. No new voices can change that.

@joechalom To be honest we need more of the builder and adopter mindset in the influencer and CT space, less of the investor or gambler mindset. We do not need a single champion but a whole adoption community in addition to the best builder community in the space.

I agree. Few already know. And it is strange how many of the ethereum community fall for the „centralized organization“ trap when price is not performing like some hyped gamble coin. We build something different. And we do it diffently. The „how“ matters. Ecosystems > Champions The power of many > The power of one Singularity is near. The ⿻ Plural Stack is here. 🖖

@econoar people are stupid

Easy next target

If we ship FOCIL (EIP-7805), Frame Transactions (EIP-8141), Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250) and Recent Roots (EIP-8272) in Hegota, we get native, trustless, censorship resistant private transactions on Ethereum next year.

In an ideal world all software and hardware would have "nutrition labels" that provide a full list of trust dependencies - what math and which actors' honest behavior (and on what time scale) the system is relying on to provide its core functionality and implied guarantees.

More people should know about the Interfold. It's basically what I've been yelling at people to build with the MACI ideas ( ethresear.ch/t/minimal-anti… ) for almost a decade, and now it exists, in a generalized form. The idea is: a privacy protocol optimized for things like voting (and other use cases eg. secret-ballot auctions). The mechanism generates a threshold encryption key, and people send in their votes onchain, using a ZKP to prove eligibility. An arbitrary computation on the votes gets run inside FHE, and then threshold-decrypted. From what I can tell (the docs are good docs.theinterfold.com/CRISP/introduc… ), it gets pretty optimal security guarantees: * Voter anonymity can be made unconditional if eligibility is proven with ZK-SNARKs * Censorship resistance is guaranteed by ethereum (votes can be posted directly onchain, and there's a proof that all posted votes are taking into account) * The correctness of the outputted result can be ensured via ZK over FHE * Liveness and coercion resistance depend on M-of-N honesty; unavoidable given present-day technology The main limitation is that today "ZK over FHE" is only properly available for additive vote tallying, as it's too expensive for computations that involve multiplication or other more complicated manipulation at the moment. There's work in progress on slashing-based / optimistic computation for such situations. (And of course ideally in the long term we'd figure out obfuscation so you can get rid of the M-of-N committees😃)

@TrustlessState I think you need some more cycles to mature 😜🖖

Tom Lee is down eight billion dollars on $ETH and Vitalik decides to write a sci fi novel

@MilkRoad @BitcoinJesusETH In an age of digital AI abundance and control. What will be digitally truely scarce and sovereign? We are only at the beginning.

David's argument in his "Why I Sold My ETH' piece is that the "ETH is money" thesis already played out. Ethereum got the price it deserves, and there's no rerating coming (up or down). Our PRO Analyst @BitcoinJesusETH's view: it's way too early to call that. The CLARITY Act isn't law yet... Roman Storm is still on trial... We're not even past the prologue of digital asset adoption. Calling the game over right now is like declaring American self-governance a failure in 1781 because the Articles of Confederation were messy. Big things take time.

John Gillen: Vitalik is deliberately choosing to be the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw's philosophy: a reasonable man adapts to his environment. An unreasonable man demands the environment reshape around him. Vitalik is refusing to centralize power just to pump the price faster. Instead, he's saying: "I want to be censorship resistant, open, private, permissionless, secure, scalable, global - and I want $ETH to be the most valuable digital asset in the world." FT @BitcoinJesusETH @LGDoucet.

@blockchainjames @TrustlessState Thanks. I agree. As a VC David has a lot of other “save” short termin win opportunities. Why hang out with a crazy innovative counter-mainstream community anymore.

@TrustlessState “Ethereum is a Giver, not a Taker” > Ethereum didn’t give me enough and despite there being literally 0 other chains with the level of decentralisation or utility as Ethereum I still want to ragequit because it didn’t go up enough. That a decent summary?

@TrustlessState @RyanSAdams It did lose momentum of gamblers. This happened multiple times. Where do you see the “money” mimentum?

@RyanSAdams A core part of my argument is that ETH lost momentum, which in the fight for money is a potentially existential thing to lose

@TrustlessState What did you buy?

I do not agree. I agree in the 4 years, there have been better investments, but the world will have to run on decentralized technology. And ethereum is the only real option. ETH will follow as the only truely decentralized money alinside BTC. In a world of digital AI abundance, real digital scarcity will be valued. If you asked coachman what they wanted, the would have said, faster horses, not cars. ethereum is an innovation beyond most people’s ability to fully understand. Finally it scales at global scale. ETH is the fuel of our decentralized digital future.

@Ethprofit The gamblers moved to the next casino.

Hyperliquid flipping Solana is just another "next Ethereum" shitcoin and the same will happen to Hyperliquid. It has 20 whitelisted validators, half belong to the CEO and the rest to his buddies. Ethereum stays KING because it’s secured by tens of thousands of independent validators worldwide, open to anyone to build and contribute on.

@Kylechasse What problem? Satoshi left Bitcoin and it is still operating. That’s the beauty of real decentralisation.

The Ethereum Foundation has lost 9 senior researchers in 2026. 5 left in May alone. No replacements named. No public explanation. Now a former insider wants $1 billion to build something better. I have so many questions. But I know one thing for sure. Bitcoin and gold doesn't have this problem.

Thank you Vitalik and thank you EF. You are building something uniquely different. Not everybody yet understands. And thank for the call to lead and collaborate to support its creation. Long live ⿻ Plurality 🖖. Long live ethereum the ⿻ Plural protocol ecosystem. @RadxChange

Some of my perspective on where the @ethereumfndn is going. First of all, this is only my own view. The board is not just me, and I have no extra special powers on the board that the other board members do not. @aerugoettinea is the one executing much of this transition. My input has been largely on technical questions. The board is in the process of expanding, and my own power within the org will continue to decrease, which is honestly what I want. The 2025 era brought many important improvements to EF and its ability to execute. Many issues were resolved, and EF continues to benefit from its improved efficiency and greater focus on concrete goals to this day. And so with those problems resolved, early this year, the largest remaining hole that I perceived was something different nagging at me: I would regularly spot people saying things like "vitalik says these beautiful things about ethereum needing to be decentralized, and have privacy, and be a sanctuary technology, but why do the EF's actions not reflect that?" Now, you may have been hearing something different. You may not have been sensing a feeling of crisis at all, and maybe were hearing people saying that finally we were taking execution and BD seriously and the main task for us is to keep going that way and be even better and faster. Then probably there is genuine difference between you and me, in what kinds of criticism I take most seriously, and what kinds of critics through their criticism are most able to make me feel pain. As an analogy, let's briefly switch over to a different domain. One belief you can have about Google is that it is a success story, and has brought a lot of good to humanity in organizing the world's information. Another belief you can have about Google is that they had a beautiful idealistic beginning, but at some point the corruption of mainstream corporate attitudes seeped in, and they slowly bit by bit completely abandoned the "don't be evil" slogan. My belief on Google specifically is probably somewhere between the two. BUT, if you had taken me back in time to ~2008, and offered me a button to press to make Google one or two standard deviations more "dogmatic", eg. give Richard Stallman permanent veto power over some key policies, I would immediately press it. Why? Because a choice for one company is not a choice for the world, or even one country. Google existed and exists in the context of a technology industry generally drifting away from early idealistic don't-be-evil roots and toward greed for financial gain, totalizing visions of accelerated superintelligence, infiltration by sociopaths, and craven capitulation to (or worse, active participation in) government pressure for ideological control, surveillance and war. And so *one company* doing something different, positioning itself to be what George Bernard Shaw calls the Unreasonable Man, resisting the trend of the times, would have been better for freedom, balance of power and stability of society as a whole, than *all* large companies bending to dominant trends. This is a part of my version of pluralism. This line of thinking is not just mine, but I also is not too far off from what Aya and others had in mind with the Mandate. Now how does this all get to the role of the EF? EF is not a "center of Ethereum", rather EF is "one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes". We've always said that the EF should be the latter, but many in the Ethereum ecosystem (and even within the EF) wanted us to be the former. Now, we are taking action to ensure that we will be the latter. This is particularly important because EF is a limited organization, with limited resources and limited organizational capacity. The EF has only ~0.16% of all ETH (less than many other individual ETH holders), whereas among other blockchains it's common for "the central foundation" to have 10-50%. Fiscally, the EF was originally designed to fulfill a limited work scope defined in the token sale docs and other pre-launch materials (building the chain software; getting through Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, Serenity), which was fully completed in 2022; it was not designed to be an eternal steward. And so today, the EF is choosing to use its remaining resources to pursue longevity over breadth (yes, this means we sell less ETH). The EF focuses *specifically* on those activities critical to the success of ethereum as a censorship/capture-resistant, open, private and secure system, that would not happen otherwise. This means making hard choices, and in some cases even activities that we highly approve of and people that we highly respect becoming outside of the EF. People of great technical talent, public respect and even alignment with the mission and CROPS being outside of the EF is in fact necessary if we want important tasks to be able to attract outside capital. This also means the EF taking opinionated stands culturally. This is all intended in cooperation with all other parts of ethereum. We recognize that many other parts of the ethereum world highly respect CROPS and related values. But highly respecting is not the same as choosing to specialize and totally dedicate to a domain (Compare in a different domain: I think reducing animal cruelty is important, and I like vegan food, but am not full unconditional vegan myself) EF is still in a transition period, and we expect its new long-term form to stabilize over the next few months. What are the guiding principles of this new form? Again, I am only one person, but I can give my answer from a technical perspective (there are also critical non-technical aspects). At the core, *Ethereum must be impressive*. We are living in an age of highly intelligent AI and all kinds of other technological acceleration. "Status quo EVM, with a hard fork or two a year to optimize for short-term needs of users" is not interesting. To some, "impressive" means: 250ms latency and 1M TPS. I think Ethereum trying to go that route is a mistake. Being as fast and as scalable as possible, and only a small epsilon more decentralized than the others, is a route to mediocrity, and if we try it we will lose. I think Ethereum should scale. But I think Ethereum should strive the hardest to be deeply impressive in a different dimension: the CROPS dimension. This means things like: * Provably bug-free Ethereum. This is a goal that all cybersecurity researchers would have thought is absurd and impossible, up until roughly 6 months ago. Now, it's on the cusp of being possible, thanks to AI-assisted formal verification. So we should be frontrunners in doing this. * Available chain consensus. Ethereum is, and with lean consensus will cotninue to be, the ONLY chain that has both (i) traditional-BFT style properties that it's safe under asynchrony up to a high level of fault tolerance, and (ii) the bitcoin PoW-style property that under synchrony it's safe up to 49% attackers. As far as I can tell, literally no other chain has this or is planning for it; bitcoin goes for (ii) only and most other chains go for (i) only. Some will remember I fought hard for this, Unreasonably insisting that it is not OK for ethereum to rely on social consensus and hard forks to rescue ethereum from 34% of nodes going offline. It's OK for chains like hyperledger, bnb, solana, tempo, etc. It's not OK for bitcoin or ethereum or eg. zcash. * Intermediary minimization. The fact that smart contract wallets, protocols like railgun, etc have to send transactions through intermediaries to get included onchain is honestly embarrassing, and it's a constant point of fragility. Hence the work on FOCIL and EIP-8141 (and 7701 and years of work before) to make transaction sending intermediary-minimized with public mempool and strong inclusion properties, in a truly general-purpose way, that covers not just eg. secp256r1, but also privacy protocols and much more. Kohaku is pushing intermediary minimization at the user layer, pulling Ethereum away from the dystopian status quo world where our wallets don't even verify the chain, send our private data out to a dozen third-party servers, and toward a brighter CROPS future. Some of these goals are Unreasonable - maybe Ethereum would be "fine" getting only 50% of the way - what if we depend on intermediaries, but make it easy to switch? But going 50% of the way would not make Ethereum Deeply Impressive in the CROPS way. So we push for 100%. Fortunately all these goals are compatible with high TPS, this is a major focus of research (esp. on scaling the state). Well-designed L2s can also help, especially L2s optimized for specific applications (eg. high-volume trading, privacy...). These goals are even compatible with significantly lower slot times, thanks to Raul's work on erasure-coded P2P, and many other optimizations. The most high-value "product" of the ethereum blockchain, financially speaking, is ETH the asset. Ethereum secures $250 billion of ETH. The types of properties of Ethereum that I mentioned above are very good for ETH the asset. Nearly 90% of my net worth is in ETH, and most of the remainder is ~$40m of onchain fiat of which every dollar has already been allocated for some open-source biotech or software or hardware initiative. That said, there are aspects of supporting ETH the asset - *necessary* aspects even - that are outside the scope of the EF. This is where we need other heroes (some of whom hold more ETH than the EF does) to step in and help. EF has been recently thinking more about how it will relate to other such organizations, and give them needed initial support. EF will be a smaller ship than in previous years, a more opinionated one - in some cases more opinionated in ways that might be difficult to comprehend - but a longer-lasting one, and one suited to making sure that ethereum brings something meaningful to the world. We are grateful to all those inside and outside the EF who are helping to make this happen.
