After 7 incredible years, I've decided that Friday May 29th will be my last day at the Ethereum Foundation.
I'm humbled by the projects I got to work on along the way: from the KZG ceremony, to helping architect the early design of the Beacon Chain, and a lot in between. At the age of 23, the Ethereum space welcomed me on the basis of having some great (and many stupid) ideas and let me influence a multi-billion dollar technology, an incredible opportunity I will remain forever grateful for. Ethereum has had a huge impact on me, and I hope my work has had an impact on Ethereum, and in turn on the world.
To every researcher, core dev, EFer, and community member, whether we worked together closely or not: thank you. The strength of Ethereum is, and always will be, the people behind it striving to make it what it is. I'm grateful to have spent these years among you.
What's next: I don't entirely know yet. For now I'll be enjoying time with my wife and our 1-month-old while I figure it out. Longer term, I'll find or create something with brilliant people at the intersection of engineering excellence, hard problems, and useful products driving economic activity at scale. If that resonates, or you just want to catch up, slide into my DMs!

@omw_to_the_moon Nice.
What came of @NomicFoundation compiler work? You in touch with those folks?
English
GM - Won't relitigate past EF decisions. These are not mine to callout. Forward-looking part is.
One nit: less than 10% of argot's 2025 budget went to fe (~$200k for H2). It's public info.
The real problem isn't misallocation of fe vs vyper or why Fe sits under Argot while Vyper is working on generating revenue (shoutout to @nachortti for helping Vyper here), despite its adoption.
The real problem is across the entire compiler stack. Fe with Sonatina, Vyper with Venom, Plank with its new IR, solx with LLVM, even Solidity is rewriting (core-sol with SAIL). They are all rebuilding the entire compiler. So many overlapping efforts inside one ecosystem, many trying to do the same thing. Yul has tech debt, sure but the answer cannot be N teams forking N IRs in isolation, all N looking for funding, taking years to be safe while the production compiler securing 500B+ across 20+ EVM chains passes the hat.
Two asides:
1. genuinely glad I'm not on the solc team. Any minor change there touches that entire 500B $ surface. Huge shoutout to @solidity_lang engs. Legends.
2. shoutout to @real_philogy for collaborating with fe and core-sol toward a shared IR. Building a language is hard enough but share what is possible, especially if things take years to be safe.
Anyway, what I'm doing about it:
- call with argot - learning about Fe's past.
- double down with @nachortti on Odin - ideally all language, compiler teams should have a sustainable path for revenue.
- from my seat at the EF, working on devex. A short-term fix for stack-too-deep is in sight, while solar, solx and the solidity team work on the real long-term solution
- funding languages going forward with a strategy that links the ecosystem instead of fragmenting it further
8 years in and developer pain points haven't moved enough. Time to solve them!

argot was spun out of ethereum foundation with a mandate to maintain ethereum's core programming languages and developer tooling. then it immediately begins to launder research as if it was core infrastructure maintenance. if you read their blog, they spend a lot of resources on fe, a language that has been "emerging" for over 5 years. they have long plans for fe, while the language itself has seen zero adoption and zero production use. their long term goal is "non-trivial contracts in production-like setting". meanwhile vyper is actual production infrastructure. it secures real protocols, with real users and tvl, and real audit surface. curve, lido, yearn, frax, velodrome all use vyper. yet vyper lives grant-to-grant, while argot started with a $16.6m check, about as much as ethereum started with. argot doesn't disclose how much time and energy it spends on the fe fantasy versus solidity, sourcify, hevm, or other genuinely core tooling. but clearly this pet project abuses and stretches the mandate. even though it's a programming language, by no serious measure it's "core". it should spin out and try to survive and prove demand independently. production compiler maintenance should get baseline funding before speculative language incubation gets considererd. vyper is in good shape today despite the ecosystem, not because of it. and it still does not sit right with me that resources keep getting misallocated away from the compiler people actually use. ethereum keeps saying "public goods", then funds the toy compiler like infrastructure and makes the production compiler pass the hat. that is not stewardship.

@samonchain @nixorokish @ethereumfndn @TimBeiko @ralexstokes thanks Sam, it was great to work together :)

Excited to announce this evolution of Protocol, the @ethereumfndn teams stewarding, researching and developing the Ethereum protocol.
After our re-launch of Protocol in June last year, @TimBeiko, @ralexstokes and I are now passing the torch to our talented colleagues @corcoranwill @kevaundray and @fredrik0x. They are taking on the task of delivering on Scaling, UX and Hardness objectives, with the protocol strawmap in their pocket (strawmap.org).
---
It is also time to announce that I made the decision to leave the Ethereum Foundation, my home for the past 6.5 years ❤️
I am so grateful for this opportunity I had, to work with amazing individuals, on the most impactful project there is.
Looking back from when I started (here it is -> x.com/barnabemonnot/…), it has been a wild ride from early EIP-1559 work, to the Merge, to MEV markets, to staking, finality, interoperability and UX; and from my beginnings in the Robust Incentives Group to co-leading Protocol for the past year.
Over this past year, our Protocol priorities, particularly our "Improve UX" work, shifted my attention to nearer-term questions. Throughout, I've been excited to take on a more product-centric view. Making Ethereum's unique features more available to users today is on my mind; so is participating in the plurality of ways that Ethereum gets built.
I'd love to hear from friends old and new about what excites them at the moment, and share where I'm at. Please reach out!
Will Corcoran@corcoranwill
There's a new chapter starting for the Protocol cluster. We're welcoming new leads and coordinators, and continuing our work toward Glamsterdam, Hegotà, and the Strawmap. More in the blog below 👇

@TimBeiko @casparschwa Wishing you well Tim! Helluva run
Hope to see you in NYC in June

Yesterday, we wrapped up the Soldøgn interop: a week long core dev event focused on hardening Glamsterdam implementations to scale Ethereum securely ☀️
It was our most intense one yet. Teams used every hour of the midnight sun, ultimately converging on a 200M gas limit target after Glamsterdam, a more than 3x increase!
Soldøgn also marked the end of my tenure at the EF & L1 R&D. As announced earlier this year, I'll be exploring frontier use cases for Ethereum. I could not have asked for a better way to wrap up the past 8 years: IMO this was our best interop yet. Thank you to everyone who made it so special ❤️🔥
I’ll be offline for the next month, then back in June, kicking things off at @EthConf! Please reach out then to chat about things that only Ethereum can make possible.
Cheers 👋

After 5 years on the @ethereumfndn leadership team, I’ve decided to step away and pass the torch. I made this decision in early March, and will wrap up my work at the end of April. I’ve made no plans for the future, other than taking a long break to reset and spending time with my family & friends. Working for Ethereum at the Ethereum Foundation has been a great honour. I’m proud to have worked with great people inside and outside of the EF, and proud of what our community has accomplished together. And I’m grateful to have worked with @aerugoettinea, @dannyryan, @hwwonx, @tkstanczak, @tjuliang, @VitalikButerin, and @AyaMiyagotchi on the leadership team over the years. We share a vision and a set of values that mean I will always be your ally and your friend. This journey has been a gift. I have had the rare privilege of seeing up close how small teams of great people can do the impossible. It has changed how I see the world and my place in it. We do not need to accept the world as it is, or where we fear it is going. That is not hope, it is definite: I have seen the proof. The Ethereum ecosystem has reliably done things the world told us was impossible. It is easy to forget how much real fear and doubt there was that Ethereum would never launch, that DeFi would never work, or that Proof of Stake would never ship. The lesson is not that our success was guaranteed and the doubters are always wrong, but that truly wicked problems can be overcome when great people make an extraordinary effort. You must make an extraordinary effort.

Bought my ticket! See you in NYC?
Looking forward to catching up :)

I am pumped to announce that, as of April, I have been working at @ethereum foundation as the EVM Dev Tooling Lead.
Bittersweetly, this does mark the end of my 3 (!!) years at @aztecnetwork. Thank you to @jaosef @lisacuesta and many others for the amazing memories, offsites and the massive learning opportunity, as I pivoted from engineering to product management. I am excited for what Labs will do post Alpha launch and serving as an example for privacy products in crypto. There is a lot in store there.
In my new role at the EF, I hold myself accountable for making it easier to build EVM apps. I plan to tackle:
👉 Fixing top developer pain points and working with @HardhatHQ @solidity_lang, foundry, @etherscan, other SDKs, tooling and even all core devs. And yes, I have a list of the pain points.
👉 Ensuring tooling stays up to date with latest forks (glamsterdam, hegota etc)
👉 Working with the one and only @austingriffith and his team to ensure Claude code and other LLMs can build good, secure dapps (checkout ethskills.com btw!)
👉 Outlining broader language and tooling vision, funding strategies with appropriate teams,
👉 Sunsetting not needed tools or finding other maintainers.
I have serving in this role for just about a month now and there is so much cooking. You will be hearing many fun announcements and big frustrations being solved over the next few weeks.
Solidity devs - if you ever encounter any problem/frustration with any tooling - do reach out. My DMs remain open!
To the X algorithm - help me be the point of contact for solidity devs! I want to know your biggest issues when building on Ethereum or L2s.
PS: Is it cringe to say evm/acc?

@trent_vanepps @ProtocolGuild Great run Trent! Keep up the great work

as of last friday, I no longer work at the EF
nothing but respect for the brilliant people i worked with over the last 5 years on network upgrades + funding efforts
I intend to continue working on @ProtocolGuild and Ethereum political economy as long as funding is available

Epic run Josh! Appreciate everything you’ve done for all of us 🫡
