TechFlow News, May 12: According to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation is restructuring its Protocol team, appointing Will Corcoran, Kev Wedderburn, and Fredrik as the new co-leads of the Protocol cluster. This reorganization coincides with planned departures of Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko from the Foundation, as well as Alex Stokes’ upcoming leave of absence.
The Protocol team is the Ethereum Foundation’s core group responsible for the design, research, development, and coordination of Ethereum’s base layer, covering areas such as security, cryptography, zkEVM, and peer-to-peer networking. The team is currently advancing Ethereum’s next major scalability upgrade, “Glamsterdam,” which aims to raise the gas limit ceiling and floor to 200 million and introduce ePBS. Subsequently, the team will shift its R&D focus toward the “Hegotá” upgrade and the FOCIL prototype to enhance Ethereum’s censorship resistance.
