The Ethereum Foundation has implemented layoffs as part of a restructuring plan to enhance scalability and user experience.
The reorganization includes renaming the Protocol Research and Development division to 'Protocol' and focusing on scaling Ethereum's base layer, expanding blob space, and improving user experience.
Key team members have been assigned to lead efforts in scaling Layer 1 and Layer 2, as well as enhancing user experience.
The objective of the restructuring is to empower internal teams, increase accountability, and address ongoing criticism regarding unresolved technical challenges in Ethereum.
