Representatives of the Ethereum Foundation held a discussion on the development of the blockchain ecosystem and outlined strategic directions for the future. Among the key priorities raised by joshrudolf.eth was the shift towards value-driven project development rather than just technical enhancements.

Main Development Directions
During the discussion, three main directions were outlined: scaling through the use of blob objects (EIP-4844), improving performance at the L1 level, and enhancing user experience quality. Developers emphasized that
“technical decentralization is ineffective without social decentralization”

Strategic Goals for Ethereum
Tomas Stanczak, co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, stressed the importance of logically continuing work on implementing key milestones. He proposed additional goals, including:
- minting assets exclusively on L1;
- leadership in the segments of real assets and stablecoins;
- enhancing security standards;
- structural changes within the Ethereum Foundation.
Stanczak also highlighted ambitions aimed at attracting long-term participants, which include the integration of AI protocols, collaboration with autonomous vehicles, enhancing privacy among users, and the concept of an open-source society.
Users of the social network X (formerly Twitter) actively participated in the discussion of the mentioned proposals. They raised questions about the implementation of minting at the L1 level, the effectiveness of communications within the Ethereum Foundation, and the appropriateness of developing artificial intelligence in the context of memecoins. Some called for a focus on pressing issues, such as wallet readiness for the Pectra upgrade.
Experts believe that this discussion reflects a growing awareness of the need for changes in ideology and the reform of the project, occurring against the backdrop of a prolonged decline in the asset’s value. Over the past three months, Ethereum has lost 47.8% of its value, according to TradingView data. Currently, the cryptocurrency is trading at around $1639, with a market capitalization of $197.6 billion. Some analysts suggest that Ethereum may “hit bottom” at the $1000 level.
