Ethereum Foundation cuts 20% of staff amid leadership exodus

The layoffs, announced Tuesday in a blog post , conclude a months-long internal reorganization tied to the implementation of the Foundation’s updated mandate and treasury policy. The EF said the reduction leaves it “leaner and more focused,” with a structure aligned around what it described as the “critical tasks” needed to support Ethereum’s long-term development.
