According to The Block, on Monday (May 19), two Ethereum Foundation researchers, Carl Beek and Julian Ma, announced their resignation. Beek is known for contributions to Ethereum’s beacon chain, which enabled the 2020 transition to proof-of-stake consensus. Ma contributed to protocol mechanism design and cryptoeconomics, including co-authoring FOCIL for enhanced censorship resistance. Their departures follow recent exits by Protocol team leadership and other senior staff members.
