Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak Resigns Amid Internal Power Struggles

Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak has resigned, ChainCatcher reports. Consensus layer core contributor Greg said on X the move was unsurprising given long-standing internal power struggles and organizational inertia at the Foundation, claiming Vitalik Buterin had been largely absent over the past year, leading to inefficient resource allocation and stalled projects. Greg noted Stańczak brought experience from Nethermind, Flashbots and venture capital and had disclosed potential conflicts of interest in advance, yet still faced community questions and pushback when attempting to return to technical work while driving reform. Greg argued the Ethereum Foundation now needs leadership with real business experience and decision-making ability to improve operations, according to ChainCatcher.
