✨ Max Resnick Announces Departure from Consensys to Join Anza
postedĀ 10 Dec 2024
Renowned Ethereum developer Max Resnick is leaving Consensys to focus on advancing Solanaās blockchain ecosystem with Anza.
Resnick had been with Consensys since February 2023, serving as Head of Research. Prior to that, he worked at Risk Harbor, a DeFi risk management platform, and Blockchain Center, a hub for blockchain enthusiasts.
Recently, Resnick has been vocal in his criticism of Ethereum. In November 2024, he published an article titled āEthereum Needs to Dream Bigger,ā arguing that the projectās original vision had been lost, leaving Ethereum stagnant and overextended.
At Anza, Resnick will contribute to advancing Solanaās blockchain capabilities. In an interview with CoinDesk, he praised Solanaās rapid development amid increasing market competition.
In my first 100 days, I plan on writing a spec for as much of the Solana protocol as I can get to, prioritizing fee markets and consensus implementationsResnick wrote in a post.
The crypto community has reacted positively to Resnickās move. Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin and Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko both commended Resnickās decision, emphasizing that his expertise would accelerate the development of blockchain ecosystems.
Resnickās transition to Solana comes amid growing debates about the blockchainās competition with Ethereum. In 2024, Solanaās faster transaction speeds and lower fees have attracted an expanding user base.
In November, Solana outpaced Ethereum in trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), with much of this momentum driven by the popularity of memecoins, which are frequently launched on Solanaās blockchain.
