TechFlow News: On February 13, Tomasz Stańczak, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), will step down from his role at the end of February 2026. He will be succeeded by Bastian Aue, who will co-lead the EF alongside current Co-Executive Director Hsiao-Wei.
Tomasz stated that over the past year, the Ethereum Foundation achieved multiple goals—including accelerating decision-making, enhancing communication with younger generations, injecting fresh energy into the builder community, improving open communication on social media and podcasts, becoming more openly receptive to institutional participation, supporting founders, and establishing treasury policies.
After stepping down, Tomasz plans to continue participating in the Ethereum ecosystem as a core developer, focusing on delegated core development and delegated governance. He emphasized that Ethereum is becoming the foundational verification and transaction platform for financial infrastructure, and has clearly emerged as the top choice for institutions in 2025.
