More developers leave Ethereum Foundation?

Two more important names left the Ethereum Foundation this week: Carl Beek and Julian Ma. before them, other developers had already left the project in recent months.

part of the community is now questioning if there are internal problems inside Ethereum, especially after ETH’s weak performance this cycle.

some people think this is normal for big projects. others see it as a possible sign of a crisis inside the foundation

Weak performance in terms of what? price? I highly doubt it has anything to do with that, I would even go further to say that the price is the least of their worries. If anything, it must be related to conflicting visions regarding scaling Ethereum further.

Ethereum's performance has slightly returned to its pre-NFT and meme hype, with fees being low despite running on a different consensus protocol. However, it's safe to assume there are internal issues within EF, especially after the community concluded that the EF mandate was updated last March, marking the beginning of a major reorganization and restructuring.

There might be other issues. They had sharp brains and most of the employees are moving towards AI ventures which seem to be the future.

Market price has nothing to do with developers' departure from the project. I think the main reason they left, was because they shifted their focus into other emerging industries. Like the AI industry, for example. Or they simply moved on to rival projects. Ethereum can do fine without them, because it's a community coin. There are many other volunteers working on it, to keep it the best crypto in the world (after Bitcoin).

Unlike many of ETH's competitors, ETH is driven by solid, concrete results. It prioritizes usability over hype/speculation. As long as there's someone working on the project, there should be nothing to worry about. Hopefully, the Foundation attracts new talented minds in the long-term. Just my opinion.

Performance itself isn't necessarily weak because other major crypto suffer the same fate, failed to breakthrough and surpass previous cycle all time high.
My honest take is, this is normal. Instead, I'm more bullish about Ethereum than ever because Vitalik's latest development proposal is very solid and has been on point, from consolidating liquidity from layer 2 and to bake in privacy directly into Ethereum.

Two names leave ethereum will change nothing. they still have around 170 core developers who actively develop ethereum. I admit losing their sernior developers mean the fondation is also losing their instutitonal memory who helped them to develop for years.

However, let's bee positive! who knows those who leave ethereum feel burn out in the company. So they decide to leave because they wanna start their own and try a new challenge.

So i think the assumption there is an internal problem in th foundation is just pure speculation.

Price performance is a common issue across the altcoin market in this cycle, not just for ETH alone.

However, I think the opposite. Although Vitalik is the heart and soul of Eth, the departure of many senior members and core developers is an alarming sign that should not be taken lightly. Because ETH is not a small network, and no matter how skilled Vitalik is. He alone will not be able to sustain, develop, and solve all the problems of the entire ecosystem in the long term.

Personally, I would avoid investing in ETH at this stage.

There is no publicly available information clarifying why they are leaving but there are different speculations by different people but what seems to be common is that there may be internal disagreement about the future of Ethereum. The good thing is that there is no obvious effect of this on the price of Ethereum so it does not call for much concerns. However, I hope the situation is arrested as soon as possible because if the trend continues, it may affect the price and that will not be good for investors and holders of ETH. I can't stand another LUNA experience because a lot of people have not recovered from that.

We can only speculate on this matter but tying it to weak performance of a coin because someone was leaving the foundation is likely unwarranted. If we can see that there's only one or no one already working on the project that's where we could be alarmed. We know how Ethereum is getting ostracized especially on X but those are just speculators I guess that are just crying over the price that didn't agree on their terms.

Did they leave or they are just venturing on other things or maybe they'll make part ways to make their own projects? We've seen like this in the past and it's just some kind of growing and that's not bad tbh.
