Founder Uniswap Hayden Adams critical The new advisory group of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), entitled “Silviculure Society”.
He said the initiative was not what the community was looking for and called for the Foundation to improve its communication by adopting a clearer and more direct approach.
He said in a post of February 28:
“Honest and directly comments: a flowery language and a lawyer for random people on Twitter is not what people asked.”
Adams added that he does not criticize the 15 names chosen for the advisory group, but rather the idea and the message behind the initiative, which, according to him, did not move the recent concerns of the community.
The Ethereum community has expressed its concerns concerning the perceived disconnection between the current initiatives of the Foundation and the practical and transparent communication that they expect.
There is also discomfort as to the current structural changes and cash management practices, which, according to many, have direct implications for the performance of the ETH market.
Direct and Claire communication
According to an EF statementSOCIETY SILVICULTURE includes names from the outside of the foundation that have been chosen to provide “informal advice”. The objective is to ensure that the foundation maintains its “fundamental values of open source, confidentiality, security and censorship”.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum (ETH), replied To Adams’ message, saying:
“This is an experimental effort to create more channels for manufacturers and other community voices to influence the EF, and in this case, the scope is the basic values of Cyphenk and Régenie. They have already given advice on timely and critical subjects such as portfolio security. »»
He added that the EF does not pay Society silviculture and that the group has a one -year term. In addition, Buterin has shared that more initiatives and structures will be trained to seize the comments of the community.
Following the explanation of Buterin, Adams called the initiative “reasonable.” However, reiterated that the F must communicate in a “more direct and clear” format as Buterin’s response.
Restructuring efforts
The creation of Society Silviculture is involved in the middle of a large movement to restructure the Ethereum Foundation, which has therefore led to concerns among the community concerning its stability and its long -term vision.
On February 25, Aya Miyaguchi resigned From its role as executive director of the EF and has moved to a new position as president of the Foundation. The foundation has not yet appointed a replacement.
Miyaguchi and Buterin also mentioned the creation of a new “leadership structure” for EF, but have not shared other details on the plan.
The community has examined the EF in recent months for the underperformance of ETH in 2024 compared to other major cryptocurrencies.
The frequent sale of ETH has raised questions on the efficiency of EF treasure management, because the public realization of these assets had an impact on the price of the ETH.
