Protocol is a collection of teams pushing the frontier of research & development for the Ethereum protocol and its applications. Read more in our announcement.
What we do
Our strategic initiatives drive our work and deliver tangible improvements for all users of Ethereum.
Scale
→ Ethereum will provide enough blockspace on L1 to accommodate all asset issuance, governance, DeFi and L2 settlement activity, without compromising on hardness. → August 2025: Protocol Update 001
Improve UX
→ Seamless, secure and permissionless experience across the Ethereum ecosystem, for individuals and institutions. → August 2025: Protocol Update 003
Harden the L1
→ Ethereum will retain the properties — security, censorship resistance, network resilience — that make it valuable in the first place as it scales.
