The Ethereum Foundation announced in a blog that it has completed a months-long reorganization and laid off 54 people, approximately 20% of the previous workforce.

This adjustment continues the strategic transformation of "Lean Ethereum" and the development direction for 2026, repositioning the Ethereum Foundation as a lighter protocol governance and maintenance entity, rather than a primary core builder.

This change is further advanced based on the 2025 PR&D (Research and Development) reorganization (reducing staff from over 110 to below 100), the previous layoff of about 19 people, and the successive departures of several senior researchers.
