Ethereum Foundation veteran Dankrad Feist joins Stripe’s Tempo team

Feist, who is one of the Ethereum Foundation's key researchers, said that Tempo and Ethereum share similar values and "complement" each other.

Dankrad Feist, a longtime Ethereum developer and researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, announced Friday that he’s joining Tempo, a layer-1 blockchain for payments and stablecoins built by Stripe and Paradigm.

Feist said he will remain as a “research adviser” at the Ethereum Foundation to provide input on scaling the layer-1 network, improving user experience (UX), and blobs, a feature of the Ethereum network that frees up blockspace by temporarily storing data. He added:

I am looking forward to staying involved with the community and continuing to push Ethereum forward,” he said. Cointelegraph reached out to Feist but was unable to receive a response by the time of publication.
