Blockchain Researcher Says Ethereum Foundation Is Doing Its Job 🛡Ξ
Blockchain researcher William Mougayar defended the Ethereum Foundation, arguing that critics are judging it by the wrong standard.
He said the Foundation is a protocol steward, not a marketing engine, and that ETH, Ethereum and the Ethereum Foundation should be understood as three separate things. He also argued that the Foundation is “hardening the protocol,” funding research and gradually making itself less central to Ethereum’s future.
This is positive for Ethereum’s long-term credibility. A foundation that reduces its own central importance helps Ethereum become more resilient, decentralized and institutionally trustworthy over time.
