AI is becoming more powerful than ever. First came the attention economy, but we've gradually shifted our focus to the "invocation economy," which @ysiu (@animocabrands) used to describe the agentic web.
With AI agents, your workflow is streamlined, your calendar organized, and your productivity levels drastically increased.
That is the direction that the agentic economy is growing in.

We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.
What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:
* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management
Explicit *non-goals* are:
* Execute some kind of ideological / vibez pivot from feminized wef soyboy mentality to bronze age mindset
* Start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures (esp in USA, but really anywhere, especially large powerful countries), and risking compromising Ethereum's position as a global neutral platform
* Become an arena for vested interests
* Become a highly centralized org, or even more of a "main character" within Ethereum
These things aren't what EF does and this isn't going to change. People seeking a different vision are welcome to start their own orgs.
