Ah, Ethereum! A digital tapestry woven with threads of ambition and confusion, where the once-clear vision has become a kaleidoscope of chaos, leaving the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) dangling in a state of perpetual limbo. Such is the lament of a former engineer from the Ethereum Foundation, who, in a fit of exasperation, has taken to the digital ether to voice his discontent.
In a world where clarity is as rare as a unicorn at a blockchain conference, this erstwhile Solidity savant has declared that Ethereum’s trajectory resembles a ship adrift, lacking a captain and a coherent map. Progress, he asserts, is not merely slow; it is, in fact, “impossible.”
“This is why I left the Ethereum Foundation.
There is a lack of a clear and cohesive vision for Ethereum and EVM, making progress in EVM impossible.
I’ve seen EVM changes repeatedly shut down because they don’t check a certain box. The issue is that everyone has a different…”

On that fateful Friday, March 14, Harikrishnan Mulackal, the former maestro of Solidity, unveiled the tangled web of confusion that has ensnared Ethereum’s development. Disagreements abound, like cats in a room full of laser pointers, with critical changes thwarted at every turn.
“The issue is that everyone has a different opinion on what these checkboxes should be, each contradicting the other. So nobody can agree on any changes. There was a single change in the EVM in the last five years (transient storage), and it almost got shut down at the last minute and did not make it!”

Less Research, More Products
According to our disillusioned oracle, Ethereum is in dire need of a decisive leader—someone to steer this ship away from the iceberg of ossification. Without such a figure, he warns, the only destination is a stagnant sea of “no more changes.” He advocates for a more ambitious ethos, suggesting that the ecosystem should aim to ship one hard fork each quarter. Because, why not? Who needs stability when you can have chaos?
He further cautions that if Ethereum continues to plod along as it has for the past five years, it will yield the same dismal results—like a broken record stuck on repeat, playing the same sad tune.
As reported by crypto.news, Ethereum finds itself ensnared in a web of troubles. The Ethereum Foundation’s ongoing ETH sales and the cryptocurrency’s lackluster price movements may be the proverbial anchors weighing it down. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and its token companions have not only reclaimed their former glories but have also soared to new heights, leaving Ethereum to ponder its existential crisis.
