Ethereum's internal turmoil worsens! Eric Conner, the father of EIP-1559 and a core developer, announced his departure from the ETH community.

When the future of Ethereum is worried, Ethereum core developer and EIP-1559 co-author Eric Conner announced his withdrawal from the Ethereum community on the 21st, and will turn his energy to the field of cryptocurrency and AI integration in the future, adding another blow to the sluggish community atmosphere. (Synopsis: No Love.. Ethereum core developer: The foundation is out of touch with the community and has lost its enthusiasm for ETH) (Background supplement: The community forced the Ethereum Foundation director to step down, Vitalik exploded: the decision is in my hands, outsiders shut up) Ethereum core developer and EIP-1559 co-author Eric Conner tweeted on the 21st to officially announce his withdrawal from the Ethereum community, saying that he is no longer a . A member of eth (Ethereum domain), maybe one day, the leader will realign with the community, but for now, he is gone. Deep down, I really want Ethereum to succeed. Good luck. I am no longer a dot eth Perhaps some day those in leadership roles will realign with the community but for now, I am out Deep down, I truly hope Ethereum succeeds Good luck — Eric Conner (@econoar) January 21, 2025 Eric Conner said that in the future, he will turn his efforts to the convergence of cryptocurrency and AI, which is indispensable for building an open, credible and fair AI future, in which humans do not lose autonomy and people need to build tools and infrastructure to ensure the future: I'll focus on this for now, starting with Freysa. But I'd love to talk to anyone building tools and infrastructure to ensure that encryption technology can contribute to a positive AI future, and to do this well is more important than any particular chain or individual. Right now, I've realized my passion clearly lies in the potential for crypto and AI In fact, I would say crypto is necessary for a future that involves open, trustworthy and fair AI in which humans do not lose agency We need to be building tools and infrastructure that ensures... — Eric Conner (@econoar) January 21, 2025 Just criticized the Ethereum Foundation for being out of touch with the community In fact, Eric Conner just released a long article yesterday, criticizing the Ethereum Foundation's opaque operations and disconnection from the community. He believes that the Ethereum Foundation could have cut its budget by 80% and Ethereum will function and grow as a result, but now the foundation does not report to stakeholders, gradually gets bogged down, resists change, and presents an "anti-victory and competitive mentality", which has led many community members to question whether to continue. Due to the continued sluggish performance of the Bull Market Ethereum coin price and the continuous dumping ETH of the Ethereum Foundation, the community has recently expressed its dissatisfaction with Ethereum and the Foundation, so Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently announced that he will carry out a major reform of the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation and explore the use of stake to solve the demand for coins. Trying to save Ethereum from decline. EIP-1599 Makes a Significant Contribution As one of Ethereum's backbone developers, Eric Conner brought profound technological innovation to Ethereum by working closely with the community during the Decentralized Finance Summer phase to solve Ethereum's high GAS fees, which led to the creation of EIP-1559. EIP-1559 was implemented in August 2021 following an upgrade at Ethereum London, with a new gas fee structure divided into two parts: the base fee for automatic system destruction, and tips paid directly to validators. The burn mechanism of the base fee was considered to be expected to push ETH into deflation, potentially increasing its value, while dynamically adjusted base fees helped optimize network resource allocation, while tips provided additional incentives for validators to maintain network security.

EIP-1559 has revolutionized the way GAS fees are calculated since its successful implementation on EthereumMainnet in 2021, and this proposal is also regarded as an important milestone in Ethereum's history, and has since been adopted by other mainstream EVM-compatible public blockchains, becoming the industry's technology benchmark. However, Eric Conner's announcement today shocked the outside world by announcing his retirement from the Ethereum community, where he enjoys a high reputation and is an important figure in the development of Ethereum's technology and culture, and his departure is not only a personal choice, but also reflects the deep differences within the community about the governance model and direction of the Ethereum Foundation.
