Ethereum core developer Eric Conner announces his withdrawal from the Ethereum community

PANews reported on January 22 that Eric Conner, a core developer of Ethereum and co-author of EIP-1559, posted on the X platform in the early hours of yesterday morning: "I am no longer a member of .eth (Ethereum domain name)... Maybe one day those leaders will re-align with the community, but for now, I have left. Deep down, I really hope that Ethereum can succeed. Good luck."

In addition, Eric Conner posted today: "My passion is entirely about the potential of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. Cryptocurrency is essential to building an open, trusted and fair AI future in which humans do not lose autonomy. We need to build tools and infrastructure that can ensure this future. I will focus my time on this for the time being. For me, this started with Freysa (AI token), but I am very willing to talk to anyone who is building tools and infrastructure to ensure that cryptocurrency can bring a positive future to AI. The importance of getting this right exceeds any particular blockchain or individual."
