Quotes that support claims

According to a June 2 announcement, the EF’s former Protocol Research & Development (PR&D) team is now simply “Protocol,” which will focus on three strategic goals: scaling Ethereum’s base layer (L1), expanding blobspace for rollups, and improving user experience (UX).

To support this vision, we are making changes to the way that we operate, re-orienting towards our three strategic goals: scaling the L1, scaling the blobs, and improving UX. Practically, this means restructuring our teams and creating explicit coordination structures around these strategic goals.
