Ethereum Foundation Sees 2 More High-Profile Departures

Two top Ethereum Foundation researchers, Julian Ma and Carl Beek, have resigned, bringing the total of high-profile departures at the organization to at least eight in recent months. Ma contributed to Ethereum's censorship-resistant properties and cross-layer bridge work, and said he left to focus on product and growth, calling the foundation "an amazing place but not right for my next steps." Beek, who contributed to the early design of the Beacon Chain, said he was leaving on May 29 to spend time with his wife and 1-month-old child. Ma and Beek join five senior developers and researchers who left in May alone.
