PANews reported on March 18 that according to Cryptoslate, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is actively listening to community feedback and exploring operational changes. Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner of Dragonfly, revealed the news. Qureshi pointed out that after meeting with EF members at ETH San Francisco, there was a sense of urgency within the organization and realized that the industry landscape has changed since 2020. He suggested that the EF leadership is actively considering how to replicate successful initiatives such as Solana's Superteam, shifting the focus from research-driven to promoting project development and investment.

“The Ethereum leadership has been receiving a lot of criticism lately, and it’s important for you to know — that criticism is working. They are listening, and they are thinking hard about how to adapt. This is a learning moment for them,” Qureshi added, adding that EF leadership is showing greater openness to outside ideas and moving away from a “not invented here” mentality.
