In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomasz Stanczak shares rare insights on Ethereum’s future and challenges.
As Ethereum marks its 10th anniversary, the platform finds itself at a critical point in its journey. In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Tomasz Stanczak, co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, discusses the shifting landscape of blockchain technology — and what’s next for Ethereum.
During the interview, Stanczak addresses the growing competition from newer blockchains such as Solana, Aptos and others. While critics argue that Ethereum is lagging behind in terms of speed and user experience, Stanczak makes clear that the foundation has been focused on long-term priorities and careful progress, even amid outside noise.
He also shares his perspective on Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem, particularly the increasingly important relationship between layer-1 and layer-2 solutions. According to Stanczak, the focus is now on interoperability, tools and standards that can bring more cohesion to the Ethereum network — without compromising its core principles, such as decentralization and neutrality.
