Ethereum’s future at risk without clear leadership, ex-engineer warns

Ethereum’s vision seems so messy that it leaves changes EVM in limbo, explains a former engineer from the Ethereum Foundation.

Frustrated by the lack of direction and the advanced progress in the development of Ethereum, a former expertise of solidity and compiler engineer affirms that there is a “lack of clear and coherent vision” for Ethereum (Ethn) and the Ethereum virtual machine, making progress in the latter “impossible”.

In A post X Friday, March 14, Harikrishnan Mulackal, the former expert in the solidity of the Ethereum Foundation, revealed that the confusion had led to constant disagreements on how to move forward, with critical changes blocked several times.

“The problem is that everyone has a different opinion on what these boxes should be checking, each contradicting the other. Thus, no one can agree on changes. There has been only one change in the EVM in the past five years (transitional storage), and it has almost been closed at the last minute and did not succeed! »»

Less research, more products

According to Mulackal, Ethereum needs more decisive leadership. He suggested that without this improvement, the only feasible path is “ossification – more changes”. He also argued that Ethereum should focus on shipping updates faster and “less on research”. He also suggested that the ecosystem should be much more ambitious, saying: “We must send one fork Each quarter.

He also warned that without a change of approach, Ethereum could face a dark future, stressing that if the network continues as it has done for five years, it will “produce exactly the same result”.

As Crypto.news reported earlier, Ethereum seems to be taken in a few numbers lately. The Ethereum Foundation current sales of the ETH and the relatively modest price movement of the cryptocurrency could retain it. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and other tokens have not only reached their heights of all previous time, but also put new ones.
