Taiwanese developer Wang Xiaowei has been appointed as a co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, leading Ethereum to become the world's financial and software infrastructure.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has officially announced a new leadership structure, with Taiwan blockchain expert Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak serving as co-executive directors, officially taking office on March 17, 2025. This personnel change is not only an important milestone for the foundation, but also demonstrates the influence of Taiwan's blockchain talent on the global stage.

Taiwan Research Talent Navigation Ethereum Foundation

As the Ethereum ecosystem continues to expand, the Foundation needs a more strategic and diverse leadership team to ensure technological innovation and community development go hand in hand. The two newly appointed co-executive directors, Wang Xiaowei and Tomasz Stańczak, each have a strong background in technical research and development management, and will work together to propel Ethereum into a new era.

Among them, Wang Xiaowei from Taiwan is a technical expert who was internally promoted within the foundation. Her joining has not only brought a local perspective of Block chain talent to the foundation, but also attracted more global attention to Taiwan's achievements and contributions in the Block chain field.

Wang Xiaowei: From Core Researcher to Executive Director

Wang Xiaowei served as a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation for seven years, participating in various critical technological developments, especially making outstanding contributions in the field of Ethereum Beacon Chain. The Beacon Chain is one of the core technologies for the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade, which is related to Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism and network security. Her research in this area laid the foundation for today's development of Ethereum.

In addition to technical expertise, Wang Xiaowei is also actively involved in the construction of the Block community, organizing multiple high-quality Ethereum technical exchange activities in Taiwan to promote interaction between Taiwan and global developers. Her experience enables her to fully understand the development context of Ethereum, from technical research and development to community operations, and application development, providing unique and profound insights into the entire ecosystem.

As an executive director, Wang Xiaowei will further leverage her understanding of the core values of Ethereum to ensure that the foundation can continue to uphold the principles of openness, decentralization, privacy protection, etc., while advancing technically, enabling Ethereum to continue to develop towards fairness and security.

Tomasz Stańczak: Management Skills of Technical Leaders

Another new Co-CEO, Tomasz Stańczak, is known for his outstanding development and management abilities. He is one of the leaders of the Nethermind team, whose client implementation has become an essential part of the Ethereum ecosystem and has successfully evolved from an open-source project into a globally renowned blockchain enterprise.

Tomasz is not only good at technical research and development, but also proficient in team management and talent cultivation. He established an efficient technical team operation mode at Nethermind, enabling the company to expand rapidly and take a place in the global blockchain community. In the future, he will use these experiences to optimize the internal operation of the Ethereum Foundation, ensuring that the foundation can maintain a stable development strategy while supporting developers and promoting innovation.

Currently, Tomasz is gradually stepping down from the position of Nethermind CEO to fully focus on managing and making decisions for the Ethereum Foundation.

Lead Ethereum to face future challenges

Ethereum is currently in a critical period of transformation, evolving from its initial technical experiment to gradually becoming a cornerstone of global financial and software infrastructure. In the future, Ethereum not only needs to address technical upgrades and scalability needs but also ensure the network's decentralization, censorship resistance, as well as privacy and security, to maintain its value as a global open finance and application platform.

Under the joint leadership of Wang Xiaowei and Tomasz, the Ethereum Foundation will continue to promote open source technology, global collaboration, and a more secure online environment. This is not only the development goal of the foundation, but will also influence the future direction of the global blockchain industry.

Wang Xiaowei's promotion symbolizes the rise of Taiwan's blockchain talent and brings great inspiration to the local technical community. In the future, we hope that she can have a greater impact on the international stage and bring more breakthroughs and innovations to Taiwan and the global Ethereum ecosystem!
