Ethereum developer Carl Beek announced that May 29th will be his last day at the Ethereum Foundation, becoming the latest in a string of notable departures from the organization. Beek joined the EF at the age of 23 and contributed to some of Ethereum's most significant technical milestones, including the KZG ceremony and early Beacon Chain architecture.

Beek also co-authored EIP-7935 to raise the mainnet gas limit and authored Quick Slots EIP-8198 for reducing slot duration. His departure follows a wave of EF exits since Tomasz Stańczak stepped down in February 2025, including Trent Van Epps, Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, Raúl Kripalani, and Ethereum researcher Julian Ma, who also announced his departure today. Danny Ryan and Dankrad Feist left the EF in 2024 and 2025.
