Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) has entered its second decade after a year of significant changes at the Ethereum Foundation, including leadership restructuring and a renewed focus on the network's long-term direction.
The changes come as Ethereum continues to face growing competition from other blockchain networks while working to improve scalability and user experience.
The Ethereum Foundation has reorganised parts of its leadership and operations as it shifts more responsibility to the broader developer community.
Ethereum remains the largest smart contract blockchain by total value locked and continues to support decentralised finance, tokenisation and digital asset applications.
The network has undergone several major upgrades since launching in 2015, including its transition to proof-of-stake through the Merge.
Ethereum's second decade is expected to focus on improving scalability, reducing costs and strengthening decentralisation across the ecosystem.
At the time of reporting, Ethereum price was $1,903.16.
The Ethereum Foundation has appointed Danny Ryan, co-author of the cypherpunk-inspired "Ethereum Manifesto" and a longtime protocol researcher, as its fourth board member.
Hsiao-Wei Wang, co-director of the Ethereum Foundation, has stepped down with immediate effect, extending a period of leadership turnover as the organisation restructures its operations.
