Gate News article. On April 1, Tomasz Stanczak, founder of Nethermind and former co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, said at the EthCC[9] conference that Ethereum already has a solid research foundation, and that the current core mission has shifted from technical research to efficient execution and aligning with market needs. He noted that collaboration between protocol teams and application developers needs to be further strengthened to support real-world application demands such as stablecoins, prediction markets, AI integrations, and the next generation of wallets. On the technical front, Tomasz outlined three priorities: continuously improving data availability through solutions such as Blobs; increasing L1 throughput through protocol upgrades; and deepening interoperability between L2s to improve the user experience in a multi-chain environment. He also revealed that Nethermind is pushing forward the Surge Rollup template project based on the Taiko stack, enabling deeper alignment with L1 and native censorship resistance by delegating transaction ordering to Ethereum L1 validators. Tomasz emphasized that Ethereum also needs to communicate its technical vision more clearly to traditional financial institutions, and to enhance ecosystem transparency and certainty by simplifying the roadmap.
