Tomasz Stanczak is stepping down from the @
ethereum foundation
@tkstanczak will leave his role as co-executive director at the end of February 2026, less than a year after the foundation introduced its dual-leadership structure. Bastian Aue will step in as interim co-ED alongside Hsiao-Wei Wang.
During his tenure, Stanczak said the foundation sharpened its roadmap and doubled down on scaling, privacy, AI integration, institutional adoption, and L1–L2 coordination. He’ll stay active in the ecosystem as a builder focused on agentic systems and governance.
The leadership change comes as Ethereum pushes into its next phase of upgrades, interoperability work, and institutional growth.
@fogo is a high-performance Layer 1 network built on the Solana Virtual Machine, designed to prioritize practical speed and dependable execution in real-world conditions.
Rather than focusing on headline theoretical TPS figures, Fogo targets two often-overlooked constraints: the physical distance between validators and inefficiencies in hardware utilization. By organizing validators into geographic zones, it minimizes communication latency. At the same time, its Firedancer-based, high-performance validator client drives execution closer to the limits of underlying hardware.
With full compatibility across the Solana ecosystem, Fogo enables applications to migrate easily. It also introduces Sessions to enhance user experience, reducing the need for repeated signatures and potentially supporting gas-sponsored transactions.
Although still experimental, Fogo represents a serious infrastructure initiative its long-term influence will ultimately depend on real-world adoption and measurable performance.

A programmer in Beijing checks her cloud drive, and it’s empty. Years of work, insight, and intuition vanished. Not from hackers, but because of policies that she didn’t agree to. Vanar Chain aims to change that. We want to make memory an asset that can be minted, inherited, and transferred, beyond servers, policies, and time. Think of how every idea and every piece of creativity can be put in a record that can be passed on, that cannot be touched. The cloud can give and take so much, but whatever is minted on Vanar Chain cannot be erased. The memories that are minted are giving every digital life a rebellion, a future of digital memory that is meant to be owned. The memory is given to you, and can’t be taken away like a policy.

Over a long enough period of time, even treasury companies will likely bleed to Bitcoin, just like altcoins, mining equities, and crypto exchange stocks all eventually bleed to BTC.
The only reason anything else in the industry exists is because of Bitcoin.
That does not mean the others things cannot go up. Often times, in bull markets they do go up with BTC.
But they *still* eventually bleed to BTC even if there is 1-2 cycles of outperformance.
I used to roll my eyes at the phrase user experience upgrade. In Web3, it usually hides weak engineering. This time was different. actually changed how I feel on chain.
I interact with DeFi all day. The worst part is constant wallet popups. Click. Confirm. Repeat. It kills flow. Fogo removes that pain. You connect your wallet, approve a session once, set limits and time, then just use the app. No repeated confirmations. It feels like staying logged into Gmail instead of typing your password for every email.
What impressed me most is how quiet the tech is. No lectures about account abstraction. You just feel the result. On testnet, it was so smooth that it felt strange at first. I kept waiting for the next popup. It never came.
Security still matters. Domain binding means one app cannot steal another app’s session. That part is smart. The downside is wallet support. Right now it mainly works with Nightly. If you live on Phantom or MetaMask, that friction is real.
It also removes some of the old ritual that hardcore users like. That will take time to accept. Still, hiding complexity instead of glorifying it is how Web3 grows up.
