Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ethereum Foundation researchers Carl Beek and Julian Ma announced their resignations on Monday. Carl Beek, after seven years of service, will depart on May 29. Julian Ma, after approximately four years of service, has also announced his departure.
Previously, several executives and researchers from the foundation have departed, including co-executive director Tomasz K. Stańczak, who left in February, Josh Stark, who left in March, and Protocol team leads Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, and Alex Stokes, who announced their departures earlier this month.
The Ethereum Foundation underwent a major restructuring in 2025 in response to community criticism and has recently sparked controversy over events such as requiring employees to sign loyalty oaths.
