Tech & Launches ·
The Ethereum Foundation has disbanded its Protocol Support Team, which had managed core developer coordination, network upgrade oversight, EIP support, the Protocol Fellowship program, and related community and infrastructure initiatives. The dissolution comes as part of broader organizational restructuring at the foundation, alongside recent personnel changes.
The Protocol Support Team played a central role in orchestrating Ethereum's protocol development workflow, including convening core developer meetings and tracking progress on network upgrades. Its functions encompassed educational efforts and community engagement tied to protocol work.
The specific rationale for the disbanding and how its responsibilities will be reassigned or absorbed—if at all—remain unclear. No information has been disclosed about whether other teams within the foundation will assume these coordination duties or whether the foundation plans to restructure them differently.
