On the consensus in Toronto 2025 Ethereum broke silence. Paul Brody (EY) and Josh Stark (Ethereum Foundation) defended the expected vision: the vision of a complex network, but fundamentally robust. While the course of ETH stagnates and the competition intensifies, the Ethereum leaders bet for a long time and recall that the markets will eventually capture technology, not the opposite.
In short
- Toronto 2025 consensus served as an Ethereum forum that publicly responded to the criticism of its administration.
- The new administration was implemented in March 2025 by appointing two executive directors.
- The leaders emphasize fixed figures: more than 120 l2 active up to 450 million daily transactions.
- Despite doubts about the Ethereum market, they claim to remain faithful to its vision and focus on innovation and modularity.
The attacked leadership, expected defense
While the Ethereum reports are dominated by a long -term decline during ETH and a visible decrease in the involvement of developers, criticism focuses on a free point: Ethereum Foundation Management.
Josh Stark, speaker during the panel in consensus 2025 from 14 to 16 May, admitted the community’s expectations without a detour:
The ecosystem needs stronger leadership (…) on the plan, its execution and coordinating efforts in the face of great challenges.
However, this partial self -blooded did not prevent speakers in the defense of already completed work.
Paul Brody, President of Ethereum Alliance Enterprise and reference character in EY, wanted to greet the action of Aya Miyaguchi, former Executive Director of the Foundation: “If I watch the results of his mandate objectively, I give him a note and+“He said.
Here are the main elements given with regard to the Ethereum network management:
- Structural criticism: lack of coordination, strategic vagueness, loss of speed perceived towards agile competitors;
- Internal reactions: recognition of strengthened management needs and better communication around the foundations of the project;
- Management record: defense of the Aya Miyaguchi mandate since 2018, which was assigned a deep transformation of the foundation;
- Recent reorganization: appointment in March 2025 two executives-HSIA-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak to structure further strategic development phases.
The aim of this institutional clarification is to stabilize a project that has grown and often perceived as lacking readability since its transition to evidence.
If the effects of this reorganization on the price of ETH or community dynamics must be proven, it means that in a sometimes torn ecosystem it again shows the desire to regain narrative and strategic control.
Expected technical complexity but dividing
In addition to organizational aspects, the Ethereum representatives advocated technological network management, in particular the assumed choice of the “focus on concentration”.
Paul Brody remembered that Ethereum is now blockchain for the share (Evidence) Support of more than 120 layer type solutions 2 with daily capacity located between ‘300 and 450 million transactions».
He pointed out that the transaction costs were less than one penny for three months. In the face of criticism that condemns too much fragmentation or loss of network coherence, Brody did not fall: “I am pleased“He said about the current plan.
Josh Stark defended this modularity as a visionary choice and said that “No ecosystem can avoid this type of long -term structure».
This technical location is not without consequences. If this allows a drastic reduction in the cost of use and an unprecedented increase in the load, it also introduces new vulnerability.
Rollups asks complex security questions, inter-chaînes and user experience, sometimes with counterproductive Sila effects.
For Stark, however, these obstacles are normal in the process of deep innovation: ‘We are those who have advanced most on this journey and face turning and challenges“He said.
The consequences of this debate go far beyond the Ethereum. Do they touch the basic questions: is the technical complexity of the brake or asset in the construction of a long -term infrastructure network? While Bitcoin uses a simplified narrative around the value reserve, Ethereum claims a more sophisticated vision, less readable for short -term markets, but potentially more fruitful. Josh Stark is convinced: “The markets always reflect the value. And Ethereum is the most important project in the history of crypto».
