A new chapter in the infinite garden

Aya Miyaguchi announces she will step down as Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and become its President, a role that lets her continue supporting EF's institutional relationships and expand its vision and culture. She writes that the decision was made a year ago and frames EF's role as upholding Ethereum's values rather than controlling every domain, which she calls "subtraction" and "stewardship, not control." The post cites examples such as stewarding All Core Dev calls, promoting client diversity, supporting R&D interop retreats, and running Devcon, which she describes as a network of independent yet interconnected communities.
