The Protocol Layer focuses on hardening and scaling Ethereum's core protocol while preserving censorship resistance, privacy, and security. The Access Layer ensures self-sovereignty is practically available for key user actions. The User Layer grounds EF work in real user needs. The Community Layer manages EF's public presence and external relationships. The Institutional Layer engages enterprises, governments, and nonprofits on Ethereum adoption. Departing employees receive severance of one month per year worked (or local legal minimum, whichever is higher) plus transition support including career coaching grants. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
