Tomasz Stanczak is stepping down from the @

ethereum foundation

@tkstanczak will leave his role as co-executive director at the end of February 2026, less than a year after the foundation introduced its dual-leadership structure. Bastian Aue will step in as interim co-ED alongside Hsiao-Wei Wang.

During his tenure, Stanczak said the foundation sharpened its roadmap and doubled down on scaling, privacy, AI integration, institutional adoption, and L1–L2 coordination. He’ll stay active in the ecosystem as a builder focused on agentic systems and governance.

The leadership change comes as Ethereum pushes into its next phase of upgrades, interoperability work, and institutional growth.
