The Ethereum Foundation has experienced another high-profile departure. Hsiao-Wei Wang, one of the organizationâs co-executive directors, announced on Thursday that she is stepping down from her role, effective immediately. The move comes during an ongoing management transition at the Foundation, which plays a key role in stewarding the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Wang disclosed her decision to leave via a statement shared on X. After returning from a recent leave, she said she had the opportunity to reconsider her priorities and future plans. The Ethereum Foundation remains recognized as one of the driving forces behind the development and advancement of Ethereumâs technology and community.
Wangâs departure is not the only leadership change at the Foundation. Her fellow co-executive director, Tomasz StaĹczak, has previously indicated his plan to leave as well, though he has agreed to stay on for a transition period to support the organizationâs ongoing operations.
During Wangâs absence, board member Bastian Aue assumed expanded responsibilities, supporting other leadership figures in steering the Foundation through the transition. With the latest developments, Aueâs role within the organization has reportedly grown even more significant.
With both co-executive directors set to depart, the Ethereum Foundation is continuing its operations under the guidance of the current board and other senior leaders. However, there has been no official word yet on who will step in to fill Wangâs position as co-executive director.
The Foundation has seen a spate of personnel changes over the past five months. Data indicates that at least eight senior figures have exited their roles in this period, reigniting debates about the organizationâs management structure and internal governance.
In the wake of these latest departures, observers are closely monitoring how the Foundationâs leadership framework will evolve. Some industry commentators suggest the ongoing transition could be part of a broader restructuring within the organization.
In her statement, Wang reflected on the broader evolution of Ethereum. She stressed that the networkâs progress was not the result of any single individual or institution, but rather the outcome of contributions from multiple teams and countless members of the community.
Wangâs announcement did not include details about her future plans or a new position, and as of now, the Ethereum Foundation has not revealed who will be stepping into the vacant co-executive director role.
