We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.

What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:

* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management

...

If the EF can keep pushing Ethereum forward in areas of privacy and censorship-resistance I think it will keep its lead and relevance. Everyone replying wanting Ethereum to bend to the current memecoin meta is being penny-wise and pound-foolish. The future Ethereum can enable remains incredibly important.

Ethereum's long-term vision is vital. Prioritizing foundational advancements like privacy ensures lasting impact and innovation, far beyond the fleeting trends of the memecoin craze. It's about building lasting value.
