The Ethereum community is engaged in heated debates regarding the governance, scalability roadmap, and long-term vision of the network. Critics argue that the Ethereum Foundation's (EF) centralized decision-making structure is not suitable for the current era and raises concerns about its responsiveness to competition. Criticism against EF executive director Aya Miyaguchi has escalated due to a mistranslation of her comments in a Japanese interview, leading to misunderstandings and misrepresentation. Ethereum's core mission is also a point of contention, with some emphasizing it as a settlement layer and others advocating for it as a "world computer." The scalability plan for Ethereum through rollups is being questioned, with calls for more ambitious strategies to scale the network emerging, even from within the EF.
