The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a leadership transition, with Aya Miyaguchi becoming the new president. Miyaguchi's appointment comes after criticism of EF's management and aims to reshape Ethereum's governance structure. She has been working towards this transition for a year and will focus on fostering institutional relationships and community development. Meanwhile, there is speculation that Danny Ryan may become the new lead director. Vitalik Buterin praised Miyaguchi for her contributions to Ethereum's growth and innovation.

In addition to the leadership changes, Buterin criticized the UK government's encryption backdoor proposal, stating that it weakens security and increases vulnerabilities. He advocated for stronger encryption protocols and decentralized data practices to protect user privacy. Privacy groups and technology experts voice concerns about government overreach and the need to prioritize user privacy over centralized authority.
