‘Heated’ Ethereum Foundation debate signals need for change — Joe Lubin
The heated online debate over the Ethereum Foundation and a change in governance signals the need for a shift in direction, says the Consensys founder.
Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin has supported calls for an overhaul of the Ethereum Foundation and says that Consensys is ready to step up and play a more active role.
He told Cointelegraph that his for-profit company has hung back to avoid being accused of undue influence on the blockchain, but that recent events suggested “people still kind of rely on us to market Ethereum and to be the major champions for Ethereum.”
The Ethereum community has been wracked with infighting over the past few weeks, with anger over the slow progress of the scaling roadmap and Ether’s (ETH) languishing price being taken out on a perceived lack of leadership by the Ethereum Foundation.
Much of the online criticism has been aimed at executive director Aya Miyaguchi, with a push to replace her with Ethereum researcher Danny Ryan.
