Ethereum Foundation sees more key departures amid restructuring

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is facing growing community concern amid an ongoing series of departures by key personnel during a period of organizational restructuring. According to CoinDesk, Carl Beek and Julian Ma have recently left the foundation. Their exits follow previous announcements of departures or cessations of activity by other major contributors, including Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, Trent Van Epps, and Alex Stokes. Market analysis suggests the personnel changes are linked to the EF's new operational direction. In a recent announcement of its new operating principles, the foundation stated it would focus on its role as an ecosystem supporter rather than a central authority for Ethereum.
