New Ethereum Foundation CEO: 'Decisive Moment for Blockchain Adoption'

During the world's biggest Ethereum conference, Tomasz Stańczak says that 'this is a crucial moment for blockchain adoption'. He is notably optimistic about tokenizing real assets on Ethereum. In a world where artificial intelligence is becoming more dominant, he sees Ethereum's smart contract platform growing into the 'world computer'.

Despite concerns about possible competition between Ethereum and Layer-2 networks like Base and Arbitrum, and the ongoing plans to scale Ethereum itself, Stańczak reassures: 'There is no issue between Layer-1 and Layer-2s.' All forms of Layer-2s will remain actively supported and encouraged.

Since March 2025 he leads the Ethereum Foundation alongside Hsiao-Wei Wang, focusing on strategy, scalability, and talent development within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The Polish software engineer and entrepreneur previously founded the Ethereum Execution Client Nethermind, as well as the institutional staking service Twinstake. He is a core member of Flashbots and a board member of the StarkNet Foundation. Before his crypto journey, he worked on high-frequency trading systems at companies including Comarch, CME Group, and Citi.

Meanwhile, ETH price continues to hover around the $2,500 level. In the last 24 hours it rose by more than 1.1%.
