The Ethereum Foundation has announced a significant leadership reorganization aimed at enhancing the network’s user experience and accelerating Layer-1 scaling efforts.
In a strategic move, the foundation is forming two new dedicated leadership groups — one focused on user experience and the other on core protocol development. This shift underscores the growing importance of making Ethereum more accessible and scalable for both developers and end users.
Jocelyn Chang, who has been instrumental in Ethereum’s regional growth initiatives, will now lead the user experience group. Her new role will center on aligning community, product design, and infrastructure to deliver a smoother experience for users interacting with Ethereum-based applications.
Meanwhile, the protocol development team will see increased coordination under a revamped structure. While specifics of the technical leadership have not been fully disclosed, the foundation emphasized a renewed commitment to Layer-1 scaling — a critical challenge for Ethereum as it seeks to support growing adoption without sacrificing decentralization or security.
This leadership restructuring comes at a pivotal moment, as Ethereum continues to evolve from its post-Merge phase and prepares for future upgrades like the upcoming Pectra release. The Ethereum Foundation framed the transition as necessary to meet the demands of a rapidly growing ecosystem and to ensure Ethereum remains competitive as new blockchain platforms emerge.
The new organizational structure is expected to streamline development processes and sharpen the foundation’s focus on delivering a high-quality Ethereum experience globally.
