<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hsiao-Wei Wang has announced she will be leaving the Ethereum Foundation, having served as co-executive director since March 2025.
Wang’s departure follows a series of other high-profile departures, notably including Tomasz Stańczak, who </span><a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/389875/tomasz-stanczak-to-step-down-as-ethereum-foundation-co-executive-director-bastian-aue-to-take-interim-role"><span style="font-weight: 400;">stepped down</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> as co-ED in February. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wang joined the EF Research team in mid-2017 as a core Layer 1 researcher, focusing on areas like sharding proofs-of-concept, consensus mechanisms, and eventually helping design the Beacon Chain that supported Ethereum’s major shift to proof-of-stake. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last year, amid an organizational shakeup of the Ethereum Foundation, Wang was promoted to co-executive director alongside Stańczak.
She later took over as primary ED to work with interim co-Executive Director Bastian Aue, before going on sabbatical. </span></p>
