Ethereum researcher Max Resnick moves to join Solana development firm Anza
Quick Take Ethereum researcher Max Resnick announced that he departed Consensys to join Anza, a firm focused on developing Solana. Resnick has been critical of Ethereum’s technical roadmap.
Max Resnick, one of Ethereum's notable researchers, announced he will join Solana-focused research and development firm Anza .
“I’m taking my talents to Solana,” Resnick wrote in an X post on Monday. “Anza developers are extremely cracked and I’m excited to get the opportunity to work with them.”
Resnick’s move to Solana comes after his two-year stint at Consensys, the company that created the MetaMask wallet, as head of research at a subsidiary called Special Mechanisms Group.
Before his departure, Resnick had criticized Ethereum’s latest technical roadmap on social media. “Roadmap should be goal oriented not solution oriented — the ETH roadmap is focused on solutions not on problems,” Resnick wrote on X on Nov. 20.
In an article titled “Ethereum Needs to Dream Bigger,” posted on X, Resnick claimed Ethereum's original vision has been “ground to dust” due to “developing bulletproof production software and navigating core developer politics.”
Resnick stated in the article that Ethereum needed to revert to its original core values and suggested a list of goals for the network’s next five years, including one-second block times, single-slot finality and increased throughput.
“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 implementations where I believe I can have the highest impact,” Resnick said in his announcement.
Resnick's transition to Solana coincides with the growing debate surrounding its emergence as a formidable threat to Ethereum. Solana’s faster transactions and cheaper fees have attracted an increasing number of users this year.
In November, Solana surpassed Ethereum in both chain fees and protocol fees, according to The Block’s data dashboard . Solana’s onchain DEX volume also surpassed Ethereum's during the month.
