Lead Ethereum developer Eric Conner announced his resignation from the project, citing problems with the leadership of the non-profit organization Ethereum Foundation (EF).
I am no longer a dot eth
Perhaps some day those in leadership roles will realign with the community but for now, I am out
Deep down, I truly hope Ethereum succeeds
Good luck

According to Conner, he will focus on projects in the area of the intersection of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. For starters, he will join the team behind the development of the “sovereign” AI agent Freysa.
His post followed the statement of Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin that all decisions on changes in EF management are made solely by him.
On January 18, he announced “significant changes” in the fund’s management amid growing criticism of the organization’s activities. Buterin also described the goals of the structure, which largely coincided with the expressed wishes.
Part of the community decided that we were talking about the resignation of the current EF CEO Aya Miyaguchi – a popular idea is to replace her with ex-Ethereum researcher Danny Ryan.
Buterin cited their calls for continued pressure for leadership changes, and also recalled Conner’s support for Ryan’s candidacy. The programmer wrote on January 15 that otherwise “the time for an uprising will come.”
In December, Max Reznik, a developer from the ConsenSys team, announced his departure from the Ethereum ecosystem to the Solana project Anza. He referred to disappointment with the development vector of the second largest cryptocurrency by capitalization.
