Golden Finance reported that Danny Ryan, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, announced his resignation on GitHub, marking the end of his seven-year contribution to the Ethereum ecosystem. Ryan stated that the reason for his departure was personal reasons and making room for new opportunities. This decision does not reflect any issues with Ethereum or the crypto industry. Ryan played a significant role in key upgrades for Ethereum, including the launch of the Beacon Chain and the implementation of the “merge” protocol in 2021. He also actively participated in updates regarding Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Although the experience working with Ethereum was invaluable, Ryan is now preparing to make space for other endeavors and seeking new directions.
