The Uniswap founder Hayden Adams also joined the general public discussion and targeting the scaling of Ethereum and the continuing Roadmap debate. At the identical time, the Ethereum Foundation added recent leadership roles.
The Ethereum Foundation is faced with leadership and cultural shift
The Ethereum Foundation experienced leadership problems in early 2025. Some developers went online while fear, uncertainty and doubt (fud). However, Ethereum continues to support decentralized applications, stable coins, real-world asset tokenization and defi systems.
David Hoffman pointed to 6 areas of internal change. First, the Ethereum Foundation has taken on a more lively role by naming recent co-executive directors. Second, a protocol first changes to a product-first approach. Third, Ethereum developers plan to scale layer-1 by increasing the gas limit values over two years.
Fourth, there’s more comprehensive participation in Roadmap talks. Hoffman noticed that Ethereum opened his “ivory tower” by incorporating further votes in the choice -making process. Fifth now Ethereum is now specializing in interoperability and higher integration between Layer 1 and Layer-2 networks. At most, roadmap cycles have develop into shorter, with a faster pace for protocol upgrades.
The researchers of the Ethereum Foundation, Ansgar Dietrichs and THANKSRAD Feist recently confirmed in a podcast that the group was attempting to coordinate these changes. Hoffman said
“Parts of the Ethereum community have pushed to this shift while others opposed it.”
He also said
“Ethereum is a big tent that gives space for many alternative voices.”
Ethereum scale debate: Hayden Adams warns of mixed strategies
Hayden Adams added his thoughts in regards to the scaling of Ethereum. He said
“I'm all for scaling improvements to L1, the roll-up-centered roadmap actually requires this.”
According to Adams, Ethereum mustn’t only be depending on Layer-1 for defi support, especially when other platforms corresponding to Solana offer strong scaling models.
He argued that Ethereum should persist with his existing roll-up-centered layer 2 scaling approach. According to him, the change between strategies could create uncertainty.
“People must select a trace and take a look at to alleviate the associated risks as if they alter the shift of stories and techniques every month.”
Said Adams.

He also didn’t conform to the concept of using any possible scaling solution. He said to do the whole lot directly, could cause more problems than stay in a single way. “Only every approach” is “probably the one thing that’s worse than selecting no approach,” he said.
The adjustments of the Roadmap adjustments from Ethereum should not reflected available in the market price
The Ethereum Prize stays around 1,600 US dollars and shows no response to the recent changes to the leadership or to Roadmap updates.
While the network remains to be supporting most defi activities and real asset token, its market value has not shifted. Despite several public statements and structural adjustments, the trade levels have remained flat previously few weeks.
