前以太坊基金会工程师警告说平台的未来

一位前以太坊基金会工程师对该平台的未来提出了担忧，警告说，缺乏明确的领导能力正在减慢批判性发展。

A former Ethereum Foundation engineer has expressed concerns over the future of the crypto platform, claiming that a lack of clear leadership is slowing down critical development.

一位前以太坊基金会工程师对加密平台的未来表示关注，声称缺乏明确的领导能力正在减慢批判性发展。

Harikrishnan Mulackal, who worked as a Solidity expert and compiler engineer, highlighted that Ethereum’s upgrade process has become sluggish, with only one major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) change being proposed in five years.

担任坚固专家和编译器工程师的Harikrishnan Mulackal强调，以太坊的升级过程已经变得迟钝，只有一项主要的以太坊虚拟机（EVM）在五年内提出了一个更改。

Lack Of Leadership Could Hurt The Network

缺乏领导会伤害网络

According to Mulackal, Ethereum’s decentralized nature has led to delays in decision-making. While decentralization is a key strength, it has also made it difficult to push through necessary changes.

根据Mulackal的说法，以太坊的分散性质导致了决策的延迟。尽管权力下放是关键的力量，但它也使得很难通过必要的改变。

The only proposed EVM upgrade, transient storage, was almost scrapped at the last minute. Without a more structured approach, the network could struggle to stay ahead of competitors.

唯一提议的EVM升级，即瞬态存储，几乎在最后一刻被废弃。没有更结构化的方法，网络可能会努力保持领先于竞争对手。

This is why I left the Ethereum Foundation.

这就是为什么我离开以太坊基金会的原因。

There is a lack of a clear and cohesive vision for Ethereum and EVM, making progress in EVM impossible.

对于以太坊和EVM缺乏明确而凝聚力的愿景，使EVM的进展变得不可能。

I’ve seen EVM changes repeatedly shut down because they don’t check a certain box. The issue is that everyone has a different… https://t.co/TkAngYnycX

我看到EVM变更反复关闭，因为它们没有检查某个框。问题是每个人都有不同的……https：//t.co/tkangynycx

Mulackal suggested that the network should prioritize execution over research, proposing a schedule of one hard fork per quarter to speed up improvements.

Mulackal建议该网络应优先考虑执行优先于研究，并提出每季度一个硬叉的时间表，以加快改进的速度。

Faster updates could help maintain the platform’s dominance.

更快的更新可以帮助维持平台的主导地位。

Internal Disagreements May Be A Bigger Problem

内部分歧可能是一个更大的问题

Mulackal’s concerns echo similar warnings from industry figures. Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has previously said that leadership issues, not its technology, could be the crypto platform’s downfall.

Mulackal的关注与行业数字相似的警告。 Wintermute首席执行官Evgeny Gaevoy此前曾表示，领导力问题而不是其技术可能是加密平台的衰落。

Gaevoy pointed out that there are contradictions within the organization’s leadership, with some pushing for market-driven incentives while others focus on social justice goals. This internal conflict, he warned, could lead to setbacks.

盖沃伊指出，组织的领导层存在矛盾，有些人推动了市场驱动的激励措施，而另一些则专注于社会正义目标。他警告说，这种内部冲突可能导致挫折。

Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, has admitted the difficulties and is apparently working on rearranging the leadership of the Ethereum Foundation. Still up for contention, though, is whether these developments will support or undermine the network’s basic values.

以太坊联合创始人维塔克·布特林（Vitalik Buterin）承认困难，显然正在重新安排以太坊基金会的领导。不过，仍然有争议的是这些发展是否会支持或破坏网络的基本价值观。

Development Slows Down

发展减慢

Ethereum’s development speed has slowed even if it remains a major participant in the crypto sphere. Mulackal’s assertion that only one main EVM modification was suggested in five years raises issues about whether the network can keep pace with ideas from competing cryptos.

即使它仍然是加密球体的主要参与者，以太坊的开发速度也有所放缓。穆拉克尔（Mulackal）断言，在五年中，仅提出了一个主要的EVM修改，这引发了有关该网络是否可以与竞争加密货币的想法保持同步的问题。

Before "redesigning" Ethereum, developers have always stressed on planning and research. However, Mulackal feels that this cautious approach is currently holding the platform back. He argues that Ethereum should concentrate more on delivering useful improvements.

在“重新设计”以太坊之前，开发人员一直强调计划和研究。但是，Mulackal认为这种谨慎的方法目前正在阻止平台。他认为，以太坊应该更多地专注于提供有用的改进。
