Stańczak came aboard in 2025 after the exit of longtime chief Aya Miyaguchi amid criticism the foundation wasn’t doing enough to push the Ethereum ecosystem.
Stańczak’s tenure began at a turbulent time for the EF. He was brought aboard following the transition of long-time executive director Aya Miyaguchi into a new leadership position amid mounting community criticism that the foundation wasn’t doing enough to aggressively push the Ethereum ecosystem forward.
At the time, detractors pointed to a perceived disconnect between the EF and developers, including conflicts of interests, clashes over strategic direction and frustrations about ETH’s price performance. Such criticisms helped spur a broader leadership restructuring
While Stańczak stressed his confidence in the team’s ability to carry forward the EF’s mission, he also signaled his intention to remain involved in the ecosystem.
“I plan to continue working directly with founders in frontier tech and Ethereum. I want to see and support the realization of the vision that I have talked about over the last years. It is one of the most exciting times to be a builder on Ethereum,” Stańczak wrote.

DeFi Education Fund says developers of non-custodial protocols should not be regulated as intermediaries under the U.K.’s proposed crypto regime.
Control should be the determinative factor” of regulatory scope, DEF said, warning that software developers could otherwise be swept into intermediary-style obligations despite lacking custody or transactional authority.
The submission focuses on an area of the consultation which considers how decentralized finance (DeFi) arrangements should be treated under the U.K.’s emerging crypto regime. DEF supports the FCA’s control-based approach in principle but says it must be tied to concrete operational powers, such as the ability to initiate or block transactions, modify protocol parameters or exclude users.
DEF is an organization focused on informing policymakers and regulators about the benefits of DeFi and has been one of the prominent lobby groups on the road to crypto regulatory frameworks being established in Washington in recent years.
The group also challenged the FCA’s framing of DeFi-specific risks, arguing that cybersecurity vulnerabilities are not unique to blockchain systems and that public blockchains offer transparency advantages in combating illicit finance.
Applying prudential, reporting and platform access requirements designed for centralized trading platforms to non-custodial, automated protocols would be “ill-suited,” DEF said.
The FCA is seeking to bring a broad range of crypto activities within its regulatory perimeter as the U.K. moves toward a comprehensive digital asset framework.
