Blockchain researcher Max Resnick has transitioned from Ethereum infrastructure firm Consensys to Solana development firm Anza, expressing dissatisfaction with Ethereum’s layer 2 scaling strategy. Resnick announced his move via social media, marking his first day at Anza on December 9, 2024. During his initial 100 days at Anza, he will focus on writing technical specifications and enhancing consensus implementations, areas he believes he can significantly impact. His shift comes amid criticism from the Ethereum community, where he previously argued that Ethereum should prioritize base layer scaling akin to Solana. Resnick will also continue to advise Consensys as a research fellow, highlighting ongoing contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem. Prominent figures in both Ethereum and Solana viewed Resnick’s move as a potential catalyst for innovation in the blockchain space, emphasizing the benefits of knowledge exchange across platforms.
