Ethereum Foundation Defended by Blockchain Researcher

A blockchain researcher has come to the defense of the Ethereum Foundation, which has faced criticism in recent months from the crypto community.

The researcher argues that the foundation is doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is often misunderstood by critics. According to him, Ether (ETH), Ethereum, and the Ethereum Foundation are three separate entities with different goals and trajectories.

The Ethereum Foundation's role as a protocol steward means that it focuses on hardening the protocol, funding research, and shipping upgrades. This approach is meant to make the foundation less central to Ethereum over time, rather than more influential.
